Miami Shores Elementary School

It's one of the North Miami area's most established family neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets close to Biscayne Bay and a walkable, village-like feel.

Yes, this is a higher-priced pocket — the median list price is $1,511,500 and 69 of the 88 active listings are above $1 million. That said, the range runs from $195,000 to nearly $9 million, so there are entry points well below the median for buyers willing to hunt.

Homes are averaging about $795 per square foot on a median size of roughly 1,995 square feet, and over the last 12 months 194 homes sold at a median price of $1,175,000. The gap between the $1.51M list median and the $1.18M sold median tells you where negotiation happens.

It's a measured market rather than a frenzy — homes are taking a median 68 days to sell and sellers collect about 94% of asking. With 194 sales in the past year and 88 homes active, buyers have both selection and time to be thoughtful.

Most of the zone is single-family with no reported HOA median, so ongoing dues aren't a major factor for typical homes here. Property taxes are the bigger line item, running a median of $16,178 per year, which reflects the neighborhood's higher home values.
