A densely-packed community 25 miles south of Miami
Home to just over 35,000 residents, South Miami Heights is a densely populated community in Miami-Dade County's southern far reaches, known initially as Eureka. And while South Miami Heights is about 25 miles from Miami's heart, that's the draw. The community comprises thousands of single-family homes with pocket parks and shopping centers around the corner. It's a suburban city with well-regarded schools and slightly lower crime rates than Miami. While South Maimi Heights has developed slowly over the years, that's changing, according to Realtor Roxana Quintana of Equitable Company Realtors. "Older people who have been in the [community] for years are downsizing," Quintana says. Quintana has sold homes across the area for just over 15 years. "So they're taking advantage of the higher home values and selling."

However, South Miami Heights has an extreme wind factor because of hurricanes. And it's hot in South Miami Heights. With "feels like" temperatures on the rise, nearly every home in the community has an extreme Heat Factor. There are a few multijurisdictional initiatives in place to combat environmental risks.
