South of the Miami River
The Miami River runs north of Grapeland Heights, its rapids cascading into the hum of Little Havana and downtown Miami. Marinas and ports are situated along the shoreline, surrounded by tropical flora native to South Florida. With so many young families, Grapeland Heights is something of a hub for folks looking to settle down outside of the city’s fanfare. The various Latin American restaurant and grocery options are an extension of Little Havana’s vibrant cultural scene just two miles south. As nearby suburbs continue to grow, Grapeland Heights is also enjoying its own progressive evolution.

The Grapeland Water Park is the only one of its kind in Miami, open during the summer for family-friendly swimming and “Dive-in Movies” on Friday nights. “There are always weekend festivals and local community events, too,” Morales says. “In Miami, there’s always something to do. But folks are now coming to Grapeland to make it more artsy and give it a trendier feel for a younger crowd. I think it’s great.”
