Pinecrest

Throughout the 20th century, Pinecrest real estate has evolved from tropical wilderness to tourist stop to idyllic suburban village incorporated in 1996. The majority of its 8.5 square miles bordered by US-1, Red Road, SW 136th Street, and the C-2 Canal is high-end residential.

 

Unlike denser municipalities in Miami-Dade County, Pinecrest is all about breathing room. Large, leafy lots provide privacy and space for every amenity such as lush landscaping, edible gardens, pools, and entertaining areas without cramping living quarters or vice versa. Ample home styles range from midcentury modern masterpieces by Miami’s notable architects and classic ranches to brand-new construction with all the latest trends and conveniences.

 

A major reason its properties are so popular and retain their value is the outstanding public school system that continues through Palmetto Senior High. The private Gulliver Academy is another strong option. Combined with an equally solid public library branch, community center with gorgeous fitness center, and several parks and bike trails, Pinecrest real estate has become one of the region’s most coveted locations.

 

Known for its progressive mindset, the village initiated a Green Action Plan for infrastructure and schools. Miamians already can’t get enough of its Green Market on Sundays at Pinecrest Gardens, a beloved sanctuary and event space on the national historic register.
