A peaceful Miami suburb in a desirable locale

Peaceful • Suburban • Convenient • Diverse • Tropical •

Olympia Heights is located just 16 miles from Downtown Miami. This suburban community provides all of the action of Miami but with a quieter atmosphere. Enjoy the warm, ocean breeze as well as gorgeous views of nearby Lake Catalina. Commuters have easy access to Florida State Road 874, which is lined with a wide variety of diverse restaurants sure to suit every taste.

Rental options in Olympia Heights range from single-family houses to apartments and townhomes. Many area homes sit within walking distance of Tropical Park, a spacious recreational destination with an equestrian center, batting cages, nature trails, a dog park, and a man-made lake for fishing.

Once a year, the park hosts the Miami International Agriculture, Horse, and Cattle Show, where locals dine on food truck fare, visit the petting zoo, and check out livestock. Tropical Park also hosts the popular Santa’s Enchanted Forest, a holiday celebration brimming with bright lights, rides, and games that takes place every year between October and January.

Good sense of community, most of the neighbors have lived here for 20+ years. We don't tend to have community events, but mt family and I do go to birthday parties/other occasions in the neighborhood.

Job employment in this area seems to be fairly good. My family and I have all been able to find great jobs and it seems that since my area has many stores and shops there should be no problem find work.

Transportation in my area is great. There are sidewalks on every street and bus stops on almost every corner. Since there are so many different stores and shops there is a lot of parking availability.
