Miami Lakes Private, Gated Communities

Miami Lakes is a family oriented community designed so that many homes enjoy either lakefront living on more than 23 lakes or golf views of Don Shula’s golf course from their backyards. The history of Miami Lakes began in 1962, when Florida State Senator Ernest “Cap” Graham and his family owned the land and planned to develop what was their dairy farm. Graham along with Lester Collins created the master plan of Miami Lakes that would eventually become what it is today including residential, industrial and commercial use. One of the last large parcels of land on the west side of Miami Lakes is currently being developed by Lennar into a new community with a large lake in the middle. Miami Lakes is known as one of the most charming suburban areas in South Florida for its tree lined streets, estate lots and low rate of crime. Residents can enjoy the natural scenery, diverse cultural environment, assortment of community activities, and animated nightlife.
