Sunny Acres offers peaceful living near Miami beaches
If we learned anything from 1960s sitcoms, it’s that Green Acres was the place to be. And while Zsa Zsa Gabor might have argued with that mantra, there’s certainly a lot to be said for another acres-themed neighborhood. Case in point: Sunny Acres in North Miami. It can be an easy neighborhood to overlook, as it only covers about 10 city blocks and is almost entirely residential. With its modest ranch-style homes and quiet streets, the neighborhood doesn’t do a lot to draw attention to itself. But those who do take the time to visit discover that it is something of a hidden gem. Offering easy access to nearby amenities and highways, it's just 5 miles from the beaches of Miami and only 15 miles from the bustling glamor of South Beach. Ironically, Sunny Acres is so easily overlooked because there is so much around it. “Sunny Acres is close to literally everything,” says Miami-based Realtor Andres Maldonado. “Shopping, the beach: All of it is right there.”
The search for a new home can be a draining process, and it’s easy to overlook a neighborhood like Sunny Acres. But patience pays off when you’re shopping for real estate, and hidden gems like Sunny Acres suddenly materialize in front of you. With well-built homes and plenty of nearby amenities, this is one neighborhood you want to make sure you don’t miss.

Good Neighbor Stormwater Park boasts quiet and public art
An interesting facet of Sunny Acres is the Good Neighbor Stormwater Park. While many of us hear the word “park” and think about playgrounds and walking trails, Good Neighbor Stormwater Park is more aimed at fostering contemplation. Visitors to the park are invited to sit on benches and look at the art piece situated in the center of the small reservoir located nearby. Markers on the artwork rise and fall, depending on the amount of stormwater that has been drained from the surrounding area. Built on a flood-prone vacant lot, the park was created as part of a larger project called Keeping Current: A Sea Level Rise Challenge For Greater Miami, and the intended purpose of the project was to increase awareness about how much water the area receives.
National chains, Mall at 163rd Street and retail in downtown Miami

The Mall at 163rd Street is less than 10 minutes’ drive, and there shoppers will find stores including Ross Dress For Less, Mashikos Sportswear and plenty of other options from which to choose. And just in case your shopping bug needs even more options, you can be hitting the shops of downtown Miami in under half-an-hour. And when you feel like dining out, check out the offerings from nearby Cuisine Creole for authentic Haitian delicacies, or stop by Lucy’s Takeout Cafeteria for everything from sandwiches to fried chicken to fresh seafood.
