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.

Olympia Heights welcoming neighborhood close to tropical park.. people are very into their lives so there is not a lot of interaction with neighbors but once you go to the park is a different ballgame. as well when natural disasters occur I try to help as much I as can my elderly neighbors with chores they can not perform. overall this community is recommended to live in.

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.

While this area has many things to see and do, the traffic is horrible and the streets are always crowded. The residents of this city do not obey the traffic laws, causing several accidents. There are stores conveniently located nearby. This city is over populated and I see that problem becoming worse in the future. The humidity levels are extremely high, making this city worse to live in than other areas where one can experience all the seasons.
