Miami Shores

Request information

Miami Shores is a village on Biscayne Bay, just north of the City of Miami, planned in the 1920s by the Shoreland Company as “America's Mediterranean”. Incorporated in 1932, it keeps a quiet, small-town pace, with tree-lined streets, historic Mediterranean Revival homes and Village-owned golf, tennis and aquatic facilities.

Who is Miami Shores for?

Miami Shores suits buyers who want a residential village with its own civic life: a country club, an aquatic center, a recreation center and an independent library, all within village limits. It appeals to those who value historic architecture and a slower pace while staying close to the city.

What kind of homes will you find?

During its 1920s development, the Shoreland Company required homes in the Mediterranean Revival style, and 118 of those early Italian-inspired residences were built; several are now designated historic. Later decades added a variety of architectural styles, so many streets combine 1920s Mediterranean homes with residences from later eras.

What is daily life like?

Everyday errands center on the two small commercial areas along Northeast 2nd Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard, which form the village's downtown. Residents play golf and tennis at the Miami Shores Country Club, swim at the Aquatic Center on Biscayne Boulevard and use Brockway Memorial Library, founded in 1949. Barry University's main campus is also within the village.

Common questions.

Is Miami Shores part of the City of Miami?
No. Miami Shores Village has been its own incorporated municipality since January 2, 1932, and it borders the City of Miami to the south.
Is Miami Shores on the water?
Yes. The village sits on Biscayne Bay, which forms its eastern edge, with Miami Beach across the water.
What architectural style is Miami Shores known for?
Mediterranean Revival. The Shoreland Company required the style for its 1920s homes as part of its “America's Mediterranean” theme, and several of those houses are now designated historic.
