Home of the Panthers
University Park owes its name to Florida International University, home of the Panthers. This college community is not only a hub for student activity but a self-contained suburb, complete with side-walk-lined streets, parks, schools, shopping and dining. “It’s a really friendly, welcoming, family-oriented area,” says Cesar Villarreal, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Capital Realty. “Home values are increasing rapidly there. Miami’s got two main universities. FIU is the newer, public one. A lot of it was built out in the 2000s, and it’s still developing. So, you have this modern campus to explore and all these businesses popping up around it. Everything is only a few minutes away. It’s super central.”
The Stadium at FIU hosts post FIU athletic games and Miami United USL Soccer games as well.

Spanish eclectic homes
Single-family homes in University Park range from around $500,000 for ranch-style homes and bungalows to $1.9 million for estate-style residences. While some properties date back to the 1950s, most homes in the community were built between the 1960s and ‘90s. Most are also free of HOAs. “Believe it or not, a house built in the ‘70s is pretty new compared to, like, Coral Gables, where most homes are from the ‘20s and ‘50s,” Villarreal says. “So, these houses have features that weren’t really in style in earlier decades, like garages and master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.” Spanish eclectic architecture — characterized by barrel roof tiles, stucco siding and arches — is the neighborhood’s predominant style. Two-story homes are available, but most of the housing stock is ranch-style. Remodels and renovations blend Spanish eclectic and contemporary styles in some properties, while others are wholly transformed by streamlined, modern architecture. Lot sizes are typically small, less than a quarter acre. Driveways are standard; garages are common. Multifamily properties, such as townhouses and condos, are in the neighborhood, too, ranging in price from $240,000 to the low $400,000s.
