Myrtle Grove exudes a family-friendly character

The proximity of the Myrtle Grove neighborhood to some of the city’s best shopping and entertainment centers doesn’t minimize its quiet communal atmosphere. “They do summer programs for kids at the park, there are walkable restaurants, and they’re always looking for ways to bring the community together,” says Arleen Davis-Slagle, Realtor CIPS with Realty Home Advisors International. Located just a few miles from Miami Gardens’ Hard Rock Stadium, the neighborhood offers a modest suburban lifestyle with shopping, dining, education and entertainment all within reach. St. Thomas University and Florida Memorial University sit to the south, and there are even a handful of religious institutions nearby, including the local Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church and the Islamic Center of Greater Miami. But with its sidewalk-lined streets and central park, Myrtle Grove remains a comfortable suburban community with a convenient edge.

Youth football is a main event at Myrtle Grove Park

Myrtle Grove Park is at the heart of the community, both literally and figuratively. With an abundance of young children in the neighborhood, the park is “absolutely phenomenal in hosting the small tots' football game,” Davis-Slagle says, recounting the annual tradition that brings community members together and gives kids a taste of Miami Dolphins fandom on a local level. “At five years old, that’s a big thing for them,” she says. The park also includes a shaded playground, tennis courts and a basketball court about a block away from Myrtle Lake. Swimming isn’t recommended on this local reservoir, but some lakeside homes have small piers or boat docks set up to make the most of the scenery.

Magnet programs available at Miami Carol City Senior High

During the week, blue-shirt and khaki-clad children make their way into Myrtle Grove K-8 Center, a neighborhood school that scores a grade of C-plus on Niche. While some students in the area may attend sixth through eighth grade at C-plus-rated Carol City Middle, most will move on to C-plus-rated Miami Carol City Senior High. Here, interested students can enroll in magnet programs for electric vehicle and automotive repair, criminal justice or law. Although sections of the neighborhood are zoned for Miami Northland Senior High or Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High, students have the option to attend any district school as part of Miami-Dade County’s School Choice program. Nearby private options include Beacon Hill Preparatory School or faith-based institutions such as the Catholic Monsignor Edward Pace High. At the Miami Job Corps Center, young adults can gain hands-on experience in technical jobs like welding. “They partner with a lot of different businesses and colleges, too, like Opa Locka Airport or Florida Memorial University,” Davis-Slagle says.

Ranch-style homes and rising prices are common

Besides a few apartments to the east of Northwest 27th Avenue and some townhouses near the Gardens Promenade shopping center, Myrtle Grove’s residential landscape is dominated by single-family ranch-style homes. Styles range from traditional Mediterranean to refreshing contemporary, and although most homes were built between 1940 and 1970, a few have received recent upgrades that can raise prices. Overall, though, buyers can expect three-bedroom homes to vary between $400,000 and $700,000, a range that’s increased by about 16% over the last few years.

Catch the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium

Hard Rock Stadium is the ultimate destination for sports fans. The complex hosts Miami Dolphins games, the Formula One Grand Prix and the Miami Open, along with a handful of concerts from big-name artists like Taylor Swift. But the event that really draws locals is the annual Jazz in the Garden music festival, an annual tradition since 2006 that Davis-Slagle says gets “bigger and bigger every year.”

Dine on anything from Denny’s to Donna’s Caribbean

Most of the area’s shopping and dining options are concentrated along Northwest 27th Avenue, giving residents direct access to clothing and department stores like Marshalls, Five Below and Burlington. Walmart, Aldi and Winn Dixie are all within a few minutes of the neighborhood, and “there’s even a local meat market there, giving you that small-town feel and look,” Davis-Slagle says. But it’s the dining scene that she says really makes this stretch of the city stand out. “You can go from eating a meal at Denny’s to walking across the street for a Caribbean Island experience.” She recommends local favorite Donna’s Caribbean Restaurant, which is so close that some residents may even be able to walk there.

The Golden Glades interchange is a game-changer for commuters

Following the Palmetto Expressway east to the Golden Glades interchange — the local moniker for the junction of Palmetto, Florida’s Turnpike, Interstate 95, U.S. Route 441 and the Metrorail tracks — gives commuters access to nearly all of South Florida’s eastern shore. To the west, the Palmetto links up with Interstate 75, which spans the Everglades to reach Naples. In addition to local Metrobus and Metrorail stations, Miami Gardens provides commuters with a free trolley service.
