Community near the city of Homestead and rural Redland area
Located on the cusp of the agricultural Redland area, the residential community of Naranja blends suburban living with a rural atmosphere. “You’re really able to catch your breath out here, it’s very peaceful,” says Maria Knapp, a local real estate agent with LPT Realty. Housing options in this neighborhood offer a mix of modern single-family homes that line quiet streets and gated communities full of townhouses, apartments and condos. Many of the properties in this area were rebuilt following the devastation of Hurricane Andrew, which tore through South Florida in 1992. Because of the ensuing damage, most of Naranja’s homes have been renovated as the community is revitalized. “It’s really hit a growing spurt; there’s lots of new activity and new construction,” Knapp says. Bordering the neighborhood to the south and the west is Redland, a historic community characterized by sprawling farmlands dotted with scenic event venues. Just south of Naranja is the small city of Homestead, which is home to the Homestead-Miami Speedway and Baptist Health Homestead Hospital.
Naranja, FL, is a beautiful neighborhood to live in.

Berry picking at local farms
Many of the farms in the Redland area are periodically open to the public: “There’s The Berry Farms, where you can pick strawberries and get milkshakes, which are known to be some of the best milkshakes around. They’ve also got a huge play area, and they do hayrides that are pulled by a tractor; kids really love it,” Knapp says. She also adds that it isn’t unusual to see locals riding around the community on horseback and that equestrian recreation is common in the area. Residents here can also spend time relaxing at Naranja Park, which features sports fields, basketball courts, a playground and a public pool with an aquatic recreation area. Also in the neighborhood is Naranja Lakes Legacy Park, where locals can stroll along lakefront walking paths lined with benches.

Newer homes with hints of Mediterranean architecture
There’s a mix of single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses in this neighborhood. Newer homes here are “typically two-story with a little bit of Mediterranean flavor. Inside, it’s very crisp, light colors and high ceilings,” Knapp says, adding that many of the older properties in the area are ranch styles that have been through renovations. Several private communities can be found throughout Naranja, including Malibu Gardens, Riverside Villas and Mandarin Lakes, which all offer resident-only amenities. Residences here also tend to include paved driveways and garages; some homes feature Spanish-influenced architecture, such as stucco facades and clay tile finishings. Residential property prices start at around $350,000 and can climb up to approximately $600,000.

Locals line up for famous Knaus Berry Farm cinnamon rolls
The nearby family owned Knaus Berry Farm is the site of a unique community tradition during the Redland farming seasons: “Knaus Berry Farm makes literally the best cinnamon rolls in the world. Whenever they’re made, people line up for these cinnamon rolls the way people used to camp out at the Apple store for iPhones,” Knapp says. In fact, the rolls have become so popular that Knaus Berry Farm now offers shipping options across the nation.

Travel throughout Naranja, FL, on US-1.
Route 1 travels north to Miami and south to Key Largo
Downtown Miami is an approximately 25-mile drive north using Route 1. “Some people commute into the Miami area or to Kendall, where the nearest mass transit train is. But we’ve built a lot of city centers around here, so not everyone commutes,” Knapp says, adding that the local Homestead Hospital is a major employer in the area. “Something that really draws people to this area is access to the Keys; you can hop on the road, and in 30 minutes, you’re in Key Largo.” Approximately 4 miles away from Naranja is the Homestead Air Reserve Base and training center. The Miami-Dade County transit system operates a handful of Metrobus lines in the area, including the Florida City-Cutler Bay route with stops in Naranja.
