Miami suburb has a taste of old Florida with modern amenities
Goulds, Florida was settled in 1900 by homesteaders as a stop on the Florida East Coast Railway. Situated 22 miles south of downtown Miami, it’s a destination for a taste of old South Florida combined with modern amenities. It has a dense, suburban feel, with new homes popping up throughout the community and a population of nearly 11,000. With Spanish Colonial-style buildings wrapped in lush Florida foliage, Cauley Square Historic Village is a place to step back in time while enjoying upscale shopping and dining experiences. After a weekend spent outdoors at Goulds’s plentiful parks, many locals commute to Miami for work. “Goulds is a bedroom community that is convenient for a lot of people who work in the Miami area,” says Diego E. Ramos, Realtor with Modern World Realty.

Homes from 1960 through today have a Spanish Colonial flair
Goulds has a mix of midcentury homes and new construction. Spanish Colonial Revival-style homes built around 1960 are common, and some more recent properties maintain Spanish accents, such as red tile roofing. Many have modest, fenced-in front yards big enough for a garden and the occasional palm tree. Most residential streets have sidewalks sufficient for two. Prices range from $450,000 to around $900,000 for three- and four-bedroom properties. Houses with five and six bedrooms sitting on less than half an acre cost upwards of $1 million and may come with a swimming pool. Goulds’s location allows residents to live near Miami without paying Miami prices. “It’s a better value than being in a central location in downtown,” Ramos says.
