More than 200 companies are located in Miami Lakes as well as community shopping centers, office buildings and light industrial and warehouse facilities, which make up the business community of the area. With prices ranging from moderate to expensive, over 23,000 South Floridians call Miami Lakes home. Starting at the southernmost end of Miami Beach, watch from renovated apartments and condominiums as luxury cruise ships begin their sea voyages. The famed Art Deco Historic District features Streamline Modern as well as Art Deco styles in the one-square mile area that contains these architectural treasures. Further north, young professional families are attracted by the Spanish Mediterranean Revival styles that date back to the twenties.
Recreational opportunities abound and cultural opportunities are plentiful and varied.
The population of nearly 100,000 residents enjoy the many parks, community centers, golf courses, tennis facilities and of course, public beaches. Just minutes south of Miami, high-rise condominiums stand like mirrored glass and steel sentinels on Brickell Avenue. The breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay are sought by those who prefer an urban lifestyle. Early mornings and evenings are the perfect hours for jogging, walking, and bicycle riding on the wide Brickell Boulevard. The proximity to downtown and the coveted panorama of gleaming water views make condominium prices relatively expensive.
