Waterfront suburban living close to Miami
Locals enjoy everything from relaxed suburban living to waterfront properties in Palm Springs North, a census-designated community in Southern Florida. Living near these small lakes shapes the culture here. “A lot of people invite their kids or neighbors over to barbeques in their backyards and watch football by the water,” says Victor Cruz, a broker with Miami Home Brokers Realty, who has sold homes in the area. Some homes feature docks, and many residents here can take a short walk from their backyards to the lake to jet ski without ever having to hop into their cars. Cruz says, “People here take great pride in home ownership. Lawns here are well-manicured, and many love to decorate for the holidays.” The neighborhood park Norman and Jean Reach Park offers local kids a place to practice their sports, and the nearby Country Club of Miami makes Palm Springs North golfers just a short drive away from celebrity-visited greens. Right off Interstate 75 and home to small mom-and-pop shops like Costa Peruana and a couple of shopping centers, this community offers locals here well-connected suburban living near Miami.
Ranch-style dwellings and Spanish-style homes
Ranch-style dwellings and Spanish-style properties line streets that often spread into cul-de-sacs. These Spanish-inspired homes commonly have tall, vaulted ceilings, tiled roofs and arched doorways, which are common in Florida neighborhoods. Prices here typically range from around $450,000 for some ranch-style dwellings to $1.4 million for a larger property. Palm Springs North is filled with subdivisions, and while some have HOA requirements, many do not. Some houses sit around one of the three lakes in the community, offering residents waterfront views and docks so people here can spend a day boating without ever having to leave their yards. Boat and RV parking is common in the area, and many properties here feature circular driveways. Front yards are often small, and while some locals here choose grassy lawns, many others opt for mainly brick or stone front yards. Some residents enjoy pools in their backyards. Palm trees and sidewalks often line the streets here, creating a walkable feel to the area. The community is known for being safe, as it receives a CAP index score of 2.
