Homebuyers are flocking to the neighborhood of Riverdale for many reasons, says real estate broker Luis Guzman with Continental Realty LLC. “Pricing and proximity to Broward County, Ronald Reagan Turnpike and the Hard Rock Stadium,” he says, are just a few.
Homes in this section of Miami Gardens range from $150,000 for handyman specials to $600,000 for fully restored and upgraded houses. “Everyone is looking for pricing,” Guzman says, “and Riverdale has some of the lowest.” Most single-family houses were built in the 1960s, some with architectural details such as stone facades, wrought-iron fencing and decorative gates. You’ll find lush lawns in this neighborhood and paved drives with enough room for multiple vehicles. Spanish-style roofs are also popular, as are arched porticos and brightly painted stucco walls.
The schools that serve Riverdale include North County K-8 Center, which offers a parent academy to help primary caregivers better understand the expectations placed on their child and the child’s educational options. The academy also hosts a family fest where parents can learn about North County’s music program, magnet and choice programs, local health resources and more. Lake Stevens Middle is offering a brand-new Apple coding magnet program that immerses students in computer science. At Miami Carol City Senior High, students in the school’s law magnet program learn legal terminology, analyze cases, participate in court proceedings and earn dual-enrollment credit with St. Thomas University College of Law. For households with infants, toddlers, preschool and school-age children, the Little Bethelites 2 school is within walking distance of many homes and offers a curriculum that develops fine motor skills and literacy for kindergarten and beyond.
Buccaneer Park, the main recreational area in the neighborhood, provides the opportunity for individuals and families to get out and play sports or just play. Visitors can hustle on two basketball and two tennis courts or get their steps in on the walking paths. For the little ones, the park offers a sun-shielded playground with swings, slides and jungle gyms and a buccaneer-themed splash pad with “spray ’n play” interactive features. A 4,000-square-foot recreation center provides meeting space, and picnic pavilions offer outdoor gathering spots for cookouts and parties. The park underwent a complete makeover in 2018, and it continues to be a place where the community gathers to have fun and spend time together.
Big Boy Market on Northwest 207th Street sells grocery essentials, as well as prepared food for takeout. For a larger selection, you’ll find a Publix at the River Run Shopping Center and another on Miramar Parkway, less than 3 miles away. With Ronald Reagan Turnpike and Northwest 27th Avenue bordering the neighborhood, you’re always a short drive from shopping and attractions, such as Calder Casino; Miramar Square, a Mediterranean-style outdoor shopping center; and Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins.
The neighborhood borders the Broward County line, which means residents who work there can easily take Northwest 27th Avenue, the main business corridor, to get to work.
