Located on the western side of Hialeah's northern edge, the neighborhood of Spanish Lakes lives up to its name with particular fidelity. Gated communities and traditional suburban streets surround the neighborhood’s namesake, a series of manmade lakes that create plenty of waterfront property.
True to the other part of its name, homes in Spanish Lakes are heavily influenced by Spanish architecture, featuring the clay-tiled roofs and warm stucco exteriors common across the Mediterranean. This style is consistent throughout the neighborhood regardless of house size or subdivision, creating a cohesive community feel. Due to the area’s density, most homes don’t have a front yard or share one with a neighbor, but streets full of palm trees and other native plants make up for any perceived lack of greenery. These homes are priced slightly lower than many of the surrounding neighborhoods, with three-bedroom homes in the mid-$500,000s while larger four-bedroom properties reach the mid-$600,000s.
Students in Spanish Lakes can attend Miami-Dade County public schools, starting at Spanish Lake Elementary School. Tucked into the suburban streets, this neighborhood school features an impressive 9/10 in student progress from GreatSchools and an overall B grade from Niche. After that, students head to Lawton Chiles Middle, another neighborhood school with an overall B grade from Niche and national recognition for the in-house magnet program. Their final stop is American Senior High, which offers 10 unique magnet programs and career academies for students to follow their passion or get a head start in future fields from law studies and information technology to hospitality and biomedical science. All three schools offer the Cambridge Assessment International Education program, a rigorous specialized curriculum and academic pathway created in partnership with Cambridge University. Upon graduation, students earn an internationally recognized Cambridge AICE Diploma.
Spanish Lakes residents have several great options for enjoying the Florida weather. Nearby neighborhood green spaces Spanish Lake Park offers playgrounds, shaded pavilions and public grills for a picnic or outdoor cookout. At Country Lake Park, get competitive at the public tennis and basketball courts, work on your swing at the baseball diamond or wander the paved lakefront walking paths for a chance to spot native wildlife. For even more outdoor activities, head to Vizcaya Park. This 20-acre city park offers football and soccer fields, a shaded playground and an aquatic splash pad perfect for beating the heat. The neighborhood sits just two miles from the Country Club of Miami, a championship-level public course that once hosted the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Founded in 1961, the club offers two 18-hole courses with long fairways and lush greenery, along with a practice area, driving range and professional coaching to enhance your game.
Spanish Lakes residents can head to the nearby Gardens Square shopping center for fresh produce, and household staples from Publix, a CVS pharmacy, and Polo Norte, a regional chain serving Cuban cuisine and Caribbean classics.
The neighborhood is just over 20 miles from the beach and less than 15 miles from the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, making either one the ideal destination for a quick weekend getaway or afternoon adventure.
