Our Neighborhood
Click here to see our house on an interactive map. Our house is in the city of South Miami, across from a park. From us it is about a 10 minute walk to shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and public transit (the Metrorail). We have friendly neighbors who have travelled abroad and can help you with anything you need.
The Metro can take you to historic Coconut Grove, downtown Miami, the University of Miami and its Hospitals.
In 10 minutes you can drive to the beach and marina at Mattheson Hammock park or to the beautiful Fairchild Tropical and Botanic Garden. (You could also get here on a bike, but there aren't many bike paths and Florida drivers aren't used to cars.) You can also go to the lovely Venetian Pool. There are also a number of golfing opportunities at varying distances from our house
In 20 minutes you can drive to beaches and the Art Deco area of Miami Beach or to beaches on Key Biscayne. You can also go to Miami Seaquariam where Flipper was filmed, to Parrot Jungle and to the Miami Children's Museum.
The Florida Everglades where you can see all kinds of wildlife, go hiking, canoeing, or biking, is a 40 minute drive away, as is Biscayne National Park and John Pennekamp Park where you can go snorkeling, scuba diving or on a boating. The Miami Metro Zoo, Monkey Jungle, Coral Castle, and the Fruit and Spice Park are also about 40 minutes away.
Key West and the other Florida Keys are a day trip from our house. Many cruise lines offer short cruises to the Bahamas leaving Miami as well.
