A pick of options in Miramar Park
This neighborhood offers not just seclusion, thanks to its gated communities, but also variety. “Just depending on budget and what you’re looking for,” says local Realtor James Rhodes of United Realty Group, who has over a dozen years of experience. Local Realtor James Rhodes of United Realty Group notes that buyers here can get into this area for around $235,000, for a condo. Then, on the other side of the spectrum, Miramar Park offers traditional single-family homes topping out at over $600,000. Most of the options in this area, across the board, were built in the late 20th century. However, there are some newer developments here as well, with homes built well after the turn of the century — the “Waterview” subdivision is an example. “That’s definitely a popular one,” says Carbonell, who has lived in South Florida for almost two decades. “And you can still get in there in the $500,000s. Which is not easy.”In general, listings in Miramar Park tend to get swiped up quickly, sometimes in just a week depending on the price, Carbonell says. “Newer construction communities that are gated that are still affordable for the middle- and upper-middle class,” Carbonell says, describing part of Miramar Park’s appeal. “It’s so hard to find something like that if you get too far east. I feel like Miramar has a perfect suburban feel.”

Commuting convenience among the benefits
Though Miramar Park is mainly residential, much of the neighborhood is bounded by the thoroughfares of Miramar Parkway, Florida’s Turnpike and Ronald Reagan Turnpike. The stretches ease commutes to some of the other cities in the region. “For work commutes, you can get anywhere from there,” Carbonell says. Florida’s Turnpike, for example, can take drivers up toward Hollywood, just under 10 miles away. Hialeah is roughly 20 miles south, when using Ronald Reagan Turnpike to connect with Interstate 75. And Florida’s Turnpike links with I-95 for commutes to Miami, also just under 20 miles away. Also, Miramar Parkway is lined with several stops in the Broward County Transit bus system.Broward County schools boast flexibility
The Broward County Public Schools system serves kids in the Miramar Park area, a district that carries a B-plus overall grade on Niche. BCPS, one of the country's biggest school districts, allows students and their families to apply for the schools of their choice. But options in the Miramar Park zone include the B-minus-rated Sea Castle Elementary, which offers both before- and afterschool care. Students can then move on to the C-rated New Renaissance Middle, where elective options include a computer applications and robotics course and another in speech and debate. Miramar High, a school with a B-minus grade, is next and offers dedicated programs on aviation and culinary arts.

Neighborhood comes with a packed plaza
Locals can head to the neighborhood’s Miramar Parkway Plaza here to take care of some of the retail and dining needs. The shopping complex features a couple of grocers in Presidente Supermarket and Sam’s West Indian Store, plus eateries like La Belle Jacmelienne Cafe. The cafe is a hit for Haitian food, including its griot. People can also head a bit farther up University Drive to stop in Walmart or Sam’s Club.

Local events come full of culture
Some of Miramar’s annual traditions double as a celebration of culture. The Afro Carib Festival is a February concert with multiple acts held at the Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater, just under 10 miles from Miramar Park, described by the city as a blend of Black History Month and Reggae Month. Rhythms of Africa is a two-day music festival with even more performers, that takes place in March at Miramar Cultural Center, about 5 miles from the neighborhood. Latin Music Festival, in September at Miramar Amphitheater, includes multiple performers as well. And sports fans can head down to Hard Rock Stadium, just a couple of miles away, for both Dolphins and University of Miami football games throughout the fall.Green space abounds in this area
Rhodes believes one of the draws to Miramar Park is that people enjoy the family atmosphere here. The neighborhood’s crime score is just slightly above the national average, according to the CAP Index. And the atmosphere is boosted by the outdoor attractions locals can get out and take advantage of. The neighborhood is dotted with multiple parks, anchored by the almost 157-acre Miramar Pineland Park — a spot where area kids can cool off at the splash pad and where people of all ages can peruse the nature trail through the wetlands. Or anglers can go enjoy the 8-acre River Run Park to the north, where there’s a pier along a pond. Hoopers have spots like Sheraton Park at their disposal, which includes a full-size basketball court.
