Green landscape and narrow roads west of Miami

International Gardens shares more than just a name with its namesake park. This west Miami neighborhood is overflowing with tropical green foliage, with streets decorated with palm trees and residential communities surrounding sparkling ponds. “It’s a thorough mix of single-family homes and condos,” says Julio Garabito, principal broker with Leon Realty Group LLC who has been in the real estate industry since 2005. “Although condos sell more often.” Condos don’t tower throughout the neighborhood, usually capping out at three floors, and both single story and two-story homes are a common sight. There are small sections of retail to the north and south of the neighborhood, one of which includes a movie theater and Marshall’s, but residents rarely see an impact. “There’s not a lot of congestion in the area,” Garabito says.

Mediterranean homes and white condos with associations

Mediterranean influences can be found throughout the neighborhood, with terra cotta roofs, round archways and warm color schemes being standard features of the area, as well as some colorful Florida-style homes scattered throughout as well. Home prices in the area range from $500,000 all the way up to $1.05 million, with a median price of $320,000 for all home types. The median price for a single-family home is $757,500. Condos make up a large portion of housing option in the neighborhood, can range from $170,000 and $415,000 with most being part of an association. Associations can have private amenities, such as concierges, lake access and gated access. Homes tend to sit close together, with few palm trees scattered across streets as speedbumps require drivers to move through the winding streets more carefully. “There’s not a lot of walkers in the neighborhood, besides people who walk their dogs,” says Garabito. “There are more drivers.” Most homes can have single- or two-car garages, but some simply have a driveway. Homes in the southwest section often have pools in the backyard as well.
