A revitalizing sought-after Miami Gardens community

While it's one of the oldest neighborhoods in Miami Gardens, Norwood is changing. With dozens of charming single-family homes, some needing updates and renovations, the area is attracting investors who are putting in their time and money—and the results have been transformative. “These homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, and investors are getting them where they need to be for today’s homebuyer; this is a remarkable transformation,” says Leopold Manuel, a Realtor with Lifestyle International Realty who has 8 years of selling experience in the Miami area. The expansive flavors of local eateries and quick access to nearby amenities pair with these renovations to make it an ideal up-and-coming suburban community.

Home improvements in Norwood

The residential streets of Norwood are home to neat, modest sidewalks that lead to the warm cream and yellow exteriors of its ranch-style homes. These homes feature manicured yards and a sprinkling of palm trees synonymous with Southern Florida. Now that the community is sought after thanks to improvements and investment opportunities, homebuyers need to act fast if they want to find what they’re looking for, Manuel says. “When homes go on the market in Norwood, they’re often snatched up quickly.” Those looking to purchase a home in the community can expect a price range from $130,000 for a condo to $579,000 for a single-family home, depending on size and condition.

Jamaican eats and fresh Caribbean pastries

Weekly shopping runs are easy in Norwood, thanks to a local Publix to the north on Northwest 199th Street and a Walmart Supercenter off Northwest 177th Street to the south. When it’s time for food, jerk chicken or curry goat can be found at Jamaica House, while fresh Caribbean baked goods can be picked up at Taste Rite Bakery, known for its flaky, flavorful jerk chicken patties. Meanwhile, food and fun converge nearby at the newly constructed Topgolf on the neighborhood’s south end—a fun excursion for amateur golfers.

Commuting from Norwood

Commutes from Norwood are convenient, thanks to nearby roadways. Those commuting into downtown Miami for work can reach the city’s center in 13 miles along I-95, while flights at Miami International Airport sit just 3 miles farther along the same route. Closer to home is Jackson North Medical Center, less than 3 miles southeast.

Flights overhead

Miami Opa Locka Executive Airport is toward the southwest of Norwood, and North Perry Airport is to the north. Though these facilities are used for executive purposes and flight school, those living nearby can expect periodic noise from overhead flights. Those sensitive to noise should consider this before moving into the community.
