Seminola City
Modern townhomes and bungalows
Single-family homes cluster in dense pockets throughout the neighborhood, with apartments and townhouses scattered across town. Lawns are hard to come by in this urban area, with many residents utilizing valuable yard space for driveways to park cars and boats, but some homes have enough room for shade-giving palm trees and limited landscaping. Bungalows dominate the area, with tiled roofs, colorful accents and warm-toned walls. These houses typically have three to four bedrooms and are listed for under $500,000. At the high end of the price range, renovated ranch-style homes and new constructions of contemporary moderns are listed for under $900,000.
Excellent options
Neighborhood students attend Miami-Dade County Public Schools, starting at Springview Elementary, which scored an A-minus from Niche. Henry H. Filer Middle is rated a C-plus, and Westland Hialeah Senior High earned a B-plus on the website. This high school also offers specialized career tracks in journalism, artificial intelligence and criminal justice. Seminole City is also home to iMater Academy Elementary and iMater Academy Charter Middle/High School, two tuition-free public charter schools that Niche grades a B-minus and B, respectively.
A lot in Hialeah
Johnny L. Coston Park provides lighted multi-use fields, playgrounds, and a recreation center. Ethel Primus Park offers fewer amenities but much-needed green space in this industrialized section. The mature trees and neatly kept grass make it an excellent spot for a picnic. A few blocks north in Hialeah, the 515-acre Amelia Earhart Park has a petting zoo.Cuban breakfast all day
Seminola City is home to some excellent Latino cuisine. Tiagos Tacos is hard to miss with its eye-catching murals, painted in stylized Miami scenes from the city skyline to the beach. El Rey De Las Fritas is a humble diner loved by locals for its Cuban breakfast options. The frita cubana is their signature dish, a burger topped with shoestring fries. Residents will find shopping at the neighborhood's north end along 29th Street, with regional Latin American grocery chain Presidente Supermarket providing pantry staples and specialty items. Rey Chavez Distributors is a local grocer with Central and South American products. Within a few blocks of Seminola, “You have all sorts of chain restaurants and a Walmart Supercenter,” says Colp.Metrorail!
With the Okeechobee Metrorail station within Seminola City, residents can quickly get into Miami for a relaxing day at the beach or an evening exploring the city's famous nightlife. Miami International Airport is just 5 miles away.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
