Miami Lakes is a suburb of Miami, Florida. Centered around a quaint Main Street full of shops and cafes, it's a picturesque town that's close to all the amenities of Miami, but quiet and cozy.
Miami Lakes is an early example of the New Urbanism movement of urban design, which focuses on creating towns that are pedestrian-friendly, with green spaces, shopping and other services located within walking distance of homes. Wherever you live in Miami Lakes, you won't be far from its shopping centers, office buildings and playgrounds.
Renting in Miami Lakes gives you easy access to Miami, as well as to Palm Springs, Hialeah and Gladeview. Commuters make use of the Dolphin Expressway and the Palmetto Expressway. Residents that prefer not to drive choose between Miami's major transit systems: the Metrorail, the elevated Metromover, and trains run by the South Florida Regional Transport Authority (SFRTA).
Apartments for rent in Miami Lakes are priced on the high side compared to other Miami suburbs. Residents pay a little more for the ease of access to Miami-area attractions. If you want to live in an area that's quiet, well-maintained and offers a real sense of community, it might be worth the extra cost.
