The Hammocks blends nature and recreation with everyday needs
The Hammocks is a large, master-planned community in Miami-Dade County, built around a network of interconnected lakes and green spaces. Before development began in the late 1970s, the land was densely wooded forest. Today, looping roads and sidewalks follow the waterfront, and mature oaks and palms shade the streets throughout. The community's design encourages an active lifestyle, with walking, jogging and biking trails that connect different sections of the neighborhood. With multiple shopping centers, restaurants and a hospital, the community is self-contained. When you do need to leave home, major highways are nearby for convenient trips through South Florida.
The Hammocks is one of the most sought-after places to live in all of Miami-Dade County.
Palm-lined roads add tropical charm to The Hammocks community in Miami-Dade.

Home options range from condos to larger single-family houses
The Hammocks consists of several smaller subdivisions with a varied housing market. "There are condos, townhouses and everything from starter homes to forever homes. Lots of pool homes, too, but that's kind of all of South Florida," says Marcus Barrios, broker and owner of Barrios and Associates Realty, who has over 20 years of experience. Single-family homes often have Mediterranean influences and prominent attached garages. Townhouses typically feature multilevel floor plans, attached garages and access to amenities like clubhouses, fitness centers and pools. On the condo side, lakefront units with screened porches are common in the low-rise buildings. When it comes to prices, the type of home determines how much you'll pay. Here is a typical breakdown:
Single-family homes range from the upper $400,000s to the upper $800,000s.
Townhouses range from the lower $300,000s to the lower $600,000s.
Condo prices fall between the upper $100,000s and the mid-$300,000s.
All residents pay a master homeowners association fee of about $215 per quarter, and some individual subdivisions assess additional quarterly fees ranging from about $65 to $120.
Stucco walls and tile roofs define The Hammocks’ tight-knit Spanish-revival community.
Large four-bedroom homes are great for long-term living in The Hammocks.

Events at The Hammocks bring neighbors together throughout the year
The Hammocks hosts several events throughout the year, many of which are organized by the Hammocks Community Association. A major highlight is the annual Fourth of July Firework Celebration, which draws crowds for a large display. "When my kids were small, we'd head to the lake near us every Fourth of July to watch the fireworks," says Barrios. Beyond summer, the neighborhood sees gatherings in other seasons, including Halloween parties and a monthly food truck event.
How residents reach Miami, the airport and public transit
Most people drive to get around the neighborhood and to other points around South Florida. Downtown Miami is about 25 miles away via Florida's Turnpike and state Road 836. You can use the same routes for a 20-mile drive to Miami International Airport. Public transit is available with several bus routes in the area and a park and ride on Southwest 162nd Avenue. If you want to use Metrorail to get around, the closest station is Dadeland South, about 11 miles away.
The Hammocks offers reliable public transit options for daily commuters in Miami-Dade.
The neighborhood sits west of Miami, 25 miles from downtown and 20 miles from the airport.
