Pinecrest

Request information

Pinecrest is a village southwest of downtown Miami, incorporated in 1996 and known for its lushly landscaped residential character. Its roots trace to the ranch-style homes built on acre lots in the 1950s and 1960s, and to the original Parrot Jungle, now the village's botanical garden, Pinecrest Gardens.

Pinecrest, Miami

Who is Pinecrest for?

Pinecrest suits buyers who want space, privacy and mature landscaping, with single-family homes on generous lots rather than towers. It appeals to those who value a green residential setting with gardens and parks close at hand and South Miami and Coral Gables as neighbors.

What kind of homes will you find?

The village grew in the 1950s and 1960s with ranch-style homes on acre lots, which set its rural residential character. That large-lot pattern still defines many of its streets, alongside newer residences built on the same generous parcels.

What is daily life like?

Pinecrest Gardens, at Red Road and Killian Drive, anchors village life with more than 1,000 varieties of tropical plants and palms and the Banyan Bowl, a 530-seat theater under a geodesic dome. Coral Pine Park, Evelyn Greer Park, Suniland Park and the Pinecrest Branch Library add to the routine, and US 1 (Pinecrest Parkway) runs along the western edge.

Common questions.

Are lots in Pinecrest really one acre?
Many are. Ranch-style homes were built on acre lots in the 1950s and 1960s, but lot sizes vary by zoning district, so confirm each property individually.
