Wedged between Zoo Miami and Biscayne Bay, West Perrine is a terrific South Florida location. Roughly 15 miles southwest of Downtown Miami and 10 miles southwest of the University of Miami, the Ronald Reagan Turnpike provides easy access to the entire Miami metro area. You'll find the turnpike on the east side of the neighborhood, with South Dixie Highway along the west side.

Along the bay, the historic Deering Estate covers 444 acres. Visitors can tour the historic homes, go hiking, and view fossils and tools dating back 50,000 years. The Richmond Cottage and the three-story stone mansion were built by Charles Deering in 1900. In 1979, a sinkhole revealed artifacts of early humans and bones of animals from the Pleistocene era.

Perhaps the best thing about renting an apartment in West Perrine is your proximity to the fantastic Biscayne Bay and Biscayne National Park. The park contains dazzling coral reefs, islands, and a fantastic history dating back 10,000 years. Visitors enjoy boating, snorkeling, camping, and more.

I love west Perrine. I have lived here for 5 years and had no incidents. This neighborhood is nice to live in but it has it's problems like any other neighborhood. What I would like to change about West Perrine, is for the neighborhood to come together and sweep out the bad people and trouble makers.

Living in this area has way more advantages than disadvantages. This area is one of the biggest cities, the weather is great all year round and this makes the area very popular for the young & the old. To top it off it has so many attractions for vacations or otherwise. Each and everyday there is more businesses moving into this area so for the future I see positive things happening in the job industries.

There are some popular chains in this area though there aren't enough mom-and-pop shops to truly stand out in this community.
