From a sleepy locale to a busy suburb

Little River is a resilient city suburb that survived its fragmentation after the construction of Interstate 95. This commercialization inevitably transformed Little River from a sleepy locale into a busy suburb. Single-family homes line residential streets, while large industrial art deco buildings stand near the railroad tracks—echoes of a time past, but not forgotten. With the support of Miami’s Urban Development Review Board, a project to rebrand the Little River and Little Haiti areas as “The Innovation District” is underway. Longtime locals are well aware of these changes, while newcomers are often eager for opportunities to invest.

A changing atmosphere in Little River

Little River’s homes are reflective of its growth as a suburb from the 1920s through the 60s. Spanish Revival ranch-style homes and bungalows often flaunt colorful, stucco exteriors. Meanwhile, condos and senior communities are scattered throughout the neighborhood in co-op subdivisions. Property sizes, however, vary drastically depending on the block. Homes average out to around 1,400 square feet and range in price from $400,000 to $600,000. But large, vacant lots for sale promise new development and, with it, a higher cost of living. Whether investing or relocating, potential homebuyers should note the changing atmosphere in Little River and the rising opportunity for revitalization.

Vegan eats and sustainable retailers

Efforts to bring traffic back to Little River can be seen in the unique businesses tied to Miami’s art scene. Photo studios and galleries beckon a new age, while plant nurseries and flower shops bring attention to nearby agriculture. The Plantisserie is a plant-based deli and market with a bohemian, farmhouse vibe. Blooming flowers complement the eatery’s fresh atmosphere, which serves everything from jackfruit empanadas to vegan dulce de leche. A mile up the road, The Citadel is a modern food court and rooftop bar. Residents can peruse sustainable retailers, grab an eclectic cocktail or catch a live performance. Presidente Supermarket, a Latin chain, is the only grocery store immediately within Little River. However, Publix, Walmart and Winn-Dixie are less than 5 miles away.

Lowkey, artsy happenings

Beyond the food court and rooftop bar, The Citadel also features an art gallery showcasing emerging Floridian artists. Exhibitions range from ceramics to visual works discussing the supernatural and abstract thought. Earth ‘n Us Farm is a similar kind of learning space for people of all ages, inviting guests to join in on potlucks, volleyball games and drum circles facilitating environmentalism and peaceful coexistence. For a more laid-back evening, residents of age can hit up Magic 13 Brewery, where colorful murals and patio string lights decorate events like Paint and Brew, karaoke and annual Carnaval celebrations.

Morningside Academy’s international language magnet program

Students in Little River can begin at Jesse J. McCrary Jr. Elementary School. With a C on Niche, the school requires uniforms and supplies free breakfast each morning. Horace Mann Middle has a C-plus, though middle-grade students can also attend Morningside K-8 Academy with a B-minus on Niche. The academy’s vision of diversity and inclusivity is visible through its International Education Language Magnet Program, teaching French, Haitian Creole and Spanish. Both Morningside Academy and Horace Mann Middle feed into Miami Edison Senior High. Earning a B-minus on Niche, the school offers an abundance of clubs, including student government, robots and a variety of cultural groups.

The farmer’s market on Biscayne Bay

Even before new-wave revitalization efforts, Soar Park and Athalie Range Park were considered central green spaces for residents of surrounding neighborhoods. Athalie Range is the largest park in the neighborhood, situated in the southwest corner of Little River. The amenities there include an outdoor swimming pool, ball courts and fields. Kids can even take free swimming lessons and join seasonal youth programs. Soar Park feels more like a pocket green space, nestled into the neighborhood’s residential streets. But less than 3 miles east, Legion Park plays host to a fall farmer’s market stacked with unique eats and handcrafted goods each Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There, folks can peruse mangoes and kombucha with a view of Biscayne Bay.

Legion Park Farmer's Market is a weekly event that brings locals from all South Florida.

Reaching Little River’s surrounding hubs

Folks in Little River are conveniently positioned to access Interstate 95, a central thoroughfare with a toll heading 15 miles north into Hollywood and 6 miles south to Downtown Miami. 79th Street takes locals 6 miles east to Miami Beach, and it’s about the same distance west to reach Hialeah. Extending parallel to the interstate is Biscayne Boulevard, which joins I-195 to reach Miami International Airport, 8 miles southeast. Miami-Dade Transit’s Metrobus line offers stops along Biscayne Boulevard, 79th Street and several residential streets within the greater Little River neighborhood. While those dwelling close to central routes like Northeast 2nd Avenue and North Miami Avenue may find walkable eateries and markets, most of Little River’s residents are car-dependent.

Soar Park in Little River is a well-known community park equipt with a sandy playground.
