Essential comforts for everyday living
The Lake Condominium provides residents with a selection of amenities designed to enhance daily life. The building's elevator ensures easy access to all floors, a particularly valuable feature for residents with mobility concerns or those moving in bulky items. The complex's waterfront location adds a touch of natural beauty to the surroundings, offering pleasant views and a serene atmosphere.
For added convenience, the building houses shared laundry facilities, eliminating the need for residents to leave the premises for this essential chore. Each unit comes equipped with a functional kitchen and tub/shower combination in the bathrooms, covering the basics of comfortable living. The building's heating system complements the air conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort regardless of outside temperatures.
Parking is available for residents, with some units allocated designated spaces. This feature is particularly valuable in an area where personal transportation is often necessary for daily commutes and errands.
A blend of suburban calm and urban accessibility
Hialeah Gardens, home to the Lake Condominium, offers a unique mix of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. This community, located about 20 miles northwest of downtown Miami, provides residents with a more relaxed pace of life while keeping the excitement of the city within reach.
The neighborhood offers a variety of amenities for residents of all ages. Bucky Dent Park, a local favorite, is just a mile away and offers an impressive array of recreational facilities. This 25-acre park features swimming pools, 30-foot waterslides, sports fields, a recreation center, and a gymnasium, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities and family fun.
For everyday needs, residents have several options within easy reach. Aries Supermarket, less than a mile away, offers a broad selection of Latin-American perishables and dry goods, catering to the area's diverse community. Sedano's Supermarkets, a chain with Cuban roots, is even closer, just a 10-minute walk from the condominium. These markets ensure that residents have convenient access to fresh produce and groceries.
Dining options in the vicinity cater to various tastes. Mangu Cafe Restaurant, about a mile and a half away, serves Dominican specialties such as pernil and goat stew in a casual setting. For those craving classic American fast food, a McDonald's is located less than a mile from the condominium.
The area also offers several discount shopping options. Yossle Dollar Discount Inc and M G Store & Discount are both within a mile and a half of the condominium, providing budget-friendly shopping alternatives for residents.
For those seeking outdoor recreation beyond the local parks, the community's location provides relatively easy access to beaches. Sunny Isles Beach, known for its beautiful shoreline, is about 20 miles east of Hialeah Gardens, making it feasible for occasional beach outings.
Education is well-served in the area, with several schools nearby. West Hialeah Gardens Elementary School, rated 8 out of 10 by GreatSchools and given a B rating by Niche, is just a mile and a half away. For older students, Hialeah Gardens Senior High School, about two miles from the condominium, offers a solid educational foundation with its B+ Niche rating.
Strategic location with diverse transit options
The Lake Condominium's location in Hialeah Gardens offers residents access to various transportation options, balancing the need for personal vehicles with public transit alternatives. The area's somewhat walkable nature, coupled with its proximity to public transportation, provides flexibility for commuters and those running daily errands.
For those relying on public transportation, several bus stops are conveniently located near the condominium. The closest, NW 103 St & Oke. Frontage Rd, is just a five-minute walk away and serves the City of Hialeah Transit (Marlin) and the Hia Grdns-Bisc Blvd Via 49/103 St lines. Additional stops within a 10-minute walk offer access to other routes, including the Hialeah Grdns-Bisc Blvd Via 54 St line, enhancing connectivity to different parts of the city.
For longer commutes or trips to downtown Miami, the Palmetto Metrorail station is approximately two and a half miles away, or about a 5-minute drive. This station, part of the Metrorail Green Line, provides a direct link to Miami's broader public transportation network, facilitating access to key areas of the city without the need for a car.
For air travel, the Lake Condominium enjoys a strategic position. Miami International Airport is just a 15-minute drive away, making it convenient for both business travelers and vacationers. For those needing to access destinations further north, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is about a 40-minute drive.
While the area's bike score suggests it's somewhat bikeable, the climate and infrastructure may not always be conducive to cycling as a primary mode of transportation. However, for recreational cycling or short trips, the option remains available to residents who prefer this mode of transport.
The condominium's provision of parking spaces for residents acknowledges the area's reliance on personal vehicles. This feature is particularly valuable for those who commute to work or frequently travel to areas not well-served by public transportation.
