Established cultural neighborhood undergoing modern changes
The culturally focused Miami enclave of Little Haiti is a community dedicated to preserving its history in the face of revitalization efforts. Filled with colorful murals, several dedicated to important Haitian historical figures, the neighborhood wears its roots on its sleeve. Residents, many of whom relocated from the Caribbean island for which the neighborhood is named, enjoy an array of attractions dedicated to the Haitian culture. At the same time, Miami’s expansion inland has begun encroaching on Little Haiti, slowly but surely changing the face of an established neighborhood and making it popular among investors. “It’s an up-and-coming community,” says Renee M. Grossman, a real estate advisor with Pellego, LLC, who has been a Miami area resident since 1976 and currently lives in Hollywood Lakes. “It’s going to become a live, work, play environment like Midtown Miami.”
Artwork found throughout Little Haiti display the current and past cultures of the neighborhood.

Modern development alongside Little Haiti Cultural Complex, Caribbean Marketplace
The Little Haiti Cultural Complex is the focal point of the community. The complex, which features colorful buildings designed in the distinctive Gingerbread architectural style, opened in 2006 as a way for residents to immerse themselves in Afro-Caribbean culture. The main building features the Laundromat Art Space, an artist-run studio and exhibition gallery that focuses on developing local artists. The 9,000-square-foot Caribbean Marketplace was designed as a modern replica of Port Au Prince’s Iron Market, and it is a popular commercial hub. Amid the comforting sounds of Caribbean music, visitors can shop for authentic Haitian arts and crafts, fresh produce and street food. “The cultural mood is omnipresent,” Grossman says. The neighborhood has managed to maintain its Old World character, but a changing landscape is on the horizon with the presence of the Magic City Innovation District. Upon completion of the 18-acre complex, the neighborhood’s northeast corner will be home to 340,000 square feet of contemporary retail space and more than 2,600 residential units. In addition, Oolite Arts, one of Miami’s oldest art organizations, plans to build its new $30 million headquarters just blocks away in the Little River neighborhood. “The Haitian community has been part of Miami for many years,” says Iliana Abella of Compass, LLC, who has worked in the Miami market for more than three decades. “It’s a hard-working community, and it is not totally happy with gentrification. But that’s the inevitable growing pains as the city expands.” Relatively affordable prices for commercial space have sped up the expansion. “The area has never really been a destination until recently, but it’s become a cheaper alternative to downtown, Brickell or Midtown,” says Steven Kupchan, real estate advisor for One Sotheby’s International who sells property throughout the Miami area.
Little Haiti Cultural Complex was constructed in 2006 and now has over 100,000 visitors a year.

Investment has resulted in rising prices
It's not culture, but housing where the changing landscape of the neighborhood is most apparent. While there are still homes in the $300,000 to $500,000 range, most of the neighborhood’s property is either being renovated or torn down and replaced with new housing. “Investors are going in at a time when there is interest in gentrification, and they want a deal,” Grossman says. “In this day and age, everyone is looking for a deal.” That includes current residents, who are incentivized to sell as prices rise. “We had an open house the other day and a neighbor stopped by who was interested in buying the property,” Grossman adds. “Residents know what’s happening. They’re inviting the gentrification.” The majority of properties are now priced from the low $800,000s to as much as $1.5 million. And new construction continues to pop up, highlighted by contemporary townhouses starting at $1.2 million and large modern-style homes priced in the mid-$2,000,000s.
Chef Creole is a popular Bahamian and Creole Restaurant in Little Haiti.
Clive's Cafe, Piman Bouk Haitian Restaurant highlight several dining options
When it comes to food, the Haitian influence remains strong. The neighborhood is full of Caribbean shopping destinations such as Bawa Food Market and Zubi Supermarket. Next to Zubi is Clive’s Café, a Miami staple for decades. The original location in nearby Wynwood closed in 2013, but the second location has been serving Little Haiti residents since 2004. Other featured neighborhood eateries include Chef Creole Seasoned Restaurant and Piman Bouk Haitian Restaurant, which is nationally known for its homemade hot sauce.
