A mix of Spanish-style homes and multifamily properties

West Flagler has a mix of ranch-style homes, duplexes and multi-family buildings from the mid-20th century. You’ll see lots of Spanish-inspired designs, with tile roofs among the most common features. Leafy trees and sidewalks line the streets, and yards are often fenced in. Many houses include in-law suites that provide additional living space or rental income. Single-family homes often range from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$900,000s. “The farther southwest you go, things are traditionally less expensive,” says Islara Souto, the program manager at Healthy Little Havana, a local nonprofit. She adds that the neighborhood has changed due to its proximity to popular destinations such as Little Havana, and that many homes are being transformed into tourist rentals. Condos are also common in both high-rise and mid-rise buildings. Prices typically fall between the upper $100,000s and the lower $300,000s.

Ranch-style homes are the dominant architectural type in the neighborhood.
