Windward offers suburban comfort and city convenience near Miami
Windward is a residential neighborhood in North Miami Beach that allows homeowners to be near the attractions of South Florida, without paying Miami prices. “It’s very affordable considering other parts of Miami. It’s not far from Interstate 95, so it’s not inconvenient. It’s very easy to get around there,” says Brian Rokicki, a Realtor Associate at Compass with over 15 years of experience. The community is about 15 miles from downtown Miami and just 4 miles from the closest beach. Shopping centers on the neighborhood’s south side make it easy to find the daily essentials without going too far from home.
