Miami Shores

A leafy enclave of canals and Mediterranean homes.

Neighborhood overview

What it's like to live in Miami Shores

Miami Shores is an established village between Biscayne Boulevard and the bay, known for its canal-front streets, Mediterranean and ranch homes, and the kind of neighborly density that makes it one of Miami-Dade's classic addresses.

Barry University anchors the community, and the bayfront is minutes from the door. Miami Shores attracts buyers who want a real neighborhood with sidewalks, shade, and water, without the price tag of the Grove or the Beach.

The daily rhythm

Established and unhurried. Canal homes with backyard docks, tree-lined blocks, village parks, and a long history of families staying for generations.

Lifestyle: what day to day feels like

Waterfront & outdoor access

Canal living is the headline: many homes have private docks, with the bay a short ride away. The village's parks and the nearby bayfront promenades complete the outdoor picture.

Getting around South Florida

Biscayne Boulevard (US-1) runs the village's western edge and I-95 is minutes west, putting downtown Miami, Miami Beach, and the airport within easy reach.
