From an equestrian enclave to Miami suburb
Formerly part of Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens was created in 1947 when an ordinance outlawing horses in town prompted a group of citizens to break away and form their community. The residents in this group were transplants from Virginia, a state known for its love of equestrian pursuits. Since then, Virginia Gardens has grown from a collection of farms, barns and horse stables just north of Miami International Airport into a modern Miami suburb that’s retained its charm as commerce areas have popped up since the airport’s arrival. “What’s unique about this community is that it feels like a small town – everyone knows each other,” says Giselle Munoz Perez, a resident and broker associate with Century 21 Edge.

Affordable Spanish-influenced ranch-style homes
A walk along one of Virginia Gardens’ modest sidewalks showcases grid-like residential streets filled with landscaping found in medians and around the edges of front yards – each of which is kept neat. Ranch-style homes built in the mid to late 20th century sit atop the square-shaped lots. Most are seen with orange clay-tile roofs and stucco exteriors synonymous with Spanish styles, while a handful have a typical ranch-style appearance. “There are no gated communities here or homeowners associations, which means we’re more affordable than some of the surrounding neighborhoods, explains Munoz Perez.” These prices range from $500,000 to $850,000 depending on size and condition, while newer, larger homes can reach just over $1 million.
