Rainbow Park, a relatively affordable suburb

Rainbow Park draws homebuyers with its proximity to Miami Beach and professional entertainment options. “The accessibility is a big deal to people,” says Realtor Vanessa Cassis, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Keller Williams Elite Properties. “The area is within 20 minutes of Miami International Airport and the Dolphins Stadium.” Many houses are attainable for first-time homebuyers. “The cost in Rainbow Park is usually lower than neighborhoods closer to the downtown,” says Realtor Montrial Thomas, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Beachfront Realty. “Houses usually need to be rehauled.”

Simple homes, many in need of renovation

The neighborhood consists of mid-century concrete bungalows and ranch-style houses valued between $300,000 and $600,000. Most houses were developed between the 1940s and 70s. A budget of $450,000 could even land a three-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch-style home with 1,120 square feet on a 5,000-square-foot lot. Train tracks run along the eastern edge of the community. “The train track produces some noise, but it’s not a constant problem,” Montrial says. “The airport doesn’t really bother people.”
