Fulford Highlands
Neighborhood in Biscayne Gardens, Florida
Miami/Dade County 33162
As a Captain in the United States Coast Guard, William Fulford became enamored with Florida’s southern coastline, and when the federal government began offering free land in the area under the Homestead Act, he jumped at his chance. Fulford acquired 160 acres of land in what is today the North Miami Beach area and established his own township. Fulford’s legacy lives on in many facets of the area, including the North Miami Beach that bears his name, Fulford Highlands. Conveniently situated close to I-95, less than 10 minutes’ drive from North Miami Beach and 15 minutes to the beach, Fulford Highlands offers residents the combination of well-built, comfortable homes and easy access to world-class amenities. “The neighborhood is close to shopping, restaurants, parks and the beach. It’s all easy to get to,” says Miami-based Realtor Andres Maldonado.
You’ll find a variety of architectural styles in the neighborhood, with homes ranging from Mediterranean-inspired ranch-styles to sleek contemporary. The median price of real estate in Fulford Highlands hovers around $479,000, and the average price-per-square-foot is $479. A cozy two-bedroom/one-bathroom ranch-style home can sell for around $370,000, and prices can go up to $700,000 for a spacious four-bedroom/three-bathroom Mediterranean-style. “The prices in the area are competitive for the area,” says Moldonado. “And if you’re patient, you can find some real bargains, too.”
Students in the neighborhood can attend Oak Grove Elementary, John F. Kennedy Middle and North Miami Beach Senior High School. Oak Grove earns a C+ rating on Niche.com, John F. Kennedy Middle earns a B and North Miami Beach Senior High earns a B-. In addition to the rigorous academic curriculum offered at the high school, students at North Miami Beach Senior High have the option to participate in the school’s dual-enrollment program, allowing them to earn college credit while still in high school.
Two nearby parks provide Fulford Highlands residents with plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities. Oak Grove Park features both tennis courts and soccer fields for the sports enthusiast, along with fitness zones and a walking path. You’ll also find a lake at the park, where you can spot turtles and various species of wading birds. Adjacent to Oak Grove Park is the Father Gerard Jean-Juste Community Center, which offers visitors a pool and splash pad. To the west of the neighborhood is the smaller Biscayne Gardens Park, with a walking path and plenty of open space to stretch out and relax. And don’t forget that the neighborhood is only a 15-minute drive from the beach, so it’s easy to take advantage of those beautiful Florida days by sitting oceanside.
Because we humans can’t exist on just having fun, it’s good that Fulford Heights is so conveniently located to so many amazing restaurants. Start your day right with some fried dough and coffee from Krispy Kreme. Chinese dumplings are the star of the show for lunch or dinner at Dumpling King. Or feast on authentic Peruvian cuisine at La Peruanita. And when it’s time to stock up the kitchen, Publix Supermarket is conveniently located nearby, so grocery shopping is a breeze for neighborhood residents. For those times when you feel the need to shop, head over to the Mall at 163rd Street, where you’ll find Home Depot, Walmart, Ross and other retail stores.
If you’re on the hunt for a home in the greater Miami area, be sure to check out Fulford Heights. With comfortable homes and nearby amenities, great schools and easy highway access, it might just be the neighborhood you’ve been searching for.
