WWII history and suburban living in Richmond Heights
Named for its relative elevation and proximity to the now-defunct Naval Air Station Richmond, the neighborhood of Richmond Heights was developed in the years following WWII by Captain Frank C. Martin, a Pan American pilot and veteran who originally purchased the land to grow papayas but pivoted to real estate after a hurricane destroyed his crop. The neighborhood was built as a community for Black veterans returning from the war, many of whom were not given the same housing opportunities as their white counterparts. Teaming up with community leaders, real estate professionals and Black GIs throughout Miami, Capt. Martin lead the creation of a neighborhood with its own parks, schools, churches and safe suburban streets decades ahead of much of Florida and the rest of the country. While homes are no longer only sold to Black veterans with an honorable service record, this sense of community lives at the heart of Richmond Heights, with some properties still owned by the original families that first called the neighborhood home.

Ranch-style homes with Spanish roofing
Houses in this area are generally ranch-style homes, some sporting design elements from other architectural styles, like the Spanish-inspired clay roofing common throughout Florida. Three-bedroom homes are priced in the mid-$400,000s, with larger properties or newer construction reaching into the $500,000s.
Richmond Heights was designed with a unique curving street pattern to break up the strict suburban monotony common in many post-WWII housing developments. Some streets are named for U.S. presidents like Lincoln, Jefferson and Monroe while others proudly bear the names of key figures from Black history like Mary McLeod Bethune, Booker T. Washington and Jackie Robinson.

I love the facts that there are many parks nearby, great for walks, exercise, and children. The schools in the area are A-schools and/or magnet schools so kids are receiving quality education.
