Miami Shores:
Set on Biscayne Bay and running West to US One, this historic neighborhood is beautiful, convenient to downtown and filled with amenities which attract couples, families and singles alike. Many homes are historical in either the old Spanish or 50s modern style. Wide boulevards, elegant homes, a sense of community and top public and private schools are the hallmarks of life in Miami Shores. Home to the Miami Shores Golf Club and quaint village shops, people who live in this south Florida community are passionate about the outstanding quality of life. This is a quintessential residential community and a great place to raise children. The website Great Schools, which ranks schools according to parental comments, gives the public schools in Miami Shores a nine out of a possible ten, the highest ranking in all of south Florida. The lot size is larger than in many other communities, with the houses set back from the street, giving residents and guests the impression of open spaces and luxurious living. Many of the homes were built in the decades following the second world war and are one story ranch style. However, there are home styles to suit all tastes, including historic Spanish design and two-story colonials.
