Explore Glenvar Heights

Marked by the ultimate blend of tropical ease, backyard living, and urban accessibility with a hint of old-school Florida charm, Glenvar Heights is a leafy, well-connected pocket of South Miami serenity in the heart of it all.

Trace a path through the canopies of coconut palms, mimosas, and live oaks to find yourself in Glenvar Heights, a predominantly residential suburb with an enviable location in the Miami metropolitan area.

Home to remodeled midcentury houses, low-and mid-rise condos, and luxurious waterfront properties bordered by lakes and canals, this sun-kissed suburban jewel covers 4.7 square miles, surrounded by Coral Terrace to the north, the vibrant, collegiate energy of South Miami to the east, sophisticated Village of Pinecrest to the southeast, the bustling Kendall to the south, the communities of Sunset and Olympia Heights to the west, and the quiet enclave of Westchester in the northwest.

It has approximately 20,786 residents as of the latest US Census.

Framed by streets colored by tropical foliage, lake-dotted corners, and a selection of remodeled homes and cozy condos, Glenvar Heights blends suburban comfort with urban reach, as it fills its 4.7-square-mile pocket with a calm, residential rhythm, minutes from some of Miami's most famous locales that keep leisure and convenience close at hand.

But if you're looking for parks, well, there's no shortage of options in Glenvar Heights, thanks to its verdant lineup of green escapes!

A local go-to for outdoor games and casual meetups under the sun, Brewer Park features tennis, basketball, and handball courts within a compact and friendly setting. 

All-America Park, on the other hand, lives up to its name with wide-open playfields, shaded walking paths, and space for picnics, perfect for an unhurried afternoon, while Palmer Park adds its baseball diamonds and athletic courts to the mix, offering locals a gathering point for league games and community sports events.

Of course, that's only the tip of the iceberg — with Glenvar Heights' central Miami metropolitan location comes easy access to sprawling landmarks and tourist spots, with Tropical Park, a 275-acre nature wonderland where four lakes, shaded jogging paths, sports facilities, and seasonal events keep it alive and buzzing year-round, first on the list!

Not far away, A.D. (Doug) Barnes Park offers a slice of the outdoors, pairing an expansive aquatic center with nature trails, playgrounds, and pavilions for family get-togethers, and Kendall Indian Hammocks Park boasts over 200 acres of native forest trails, disc golf courses, and shaded picnic spots tucked far from the main roads.

For art lovers, the Lowe Art Museum on the nearby University of Miami campus has a world-class collection of Caribbean, Latin American, Asian, and European masterpieces for your afternoon itinerary. 

End your day with some retail therapy at Dadeland Mall, a retail giant anchoring just east of Glenvar Heights, which presents a collection of luxury brands, department stores, and casual dining in a bright, modern setting. 

You can also head west to The Palms at Town & Country, and pair national retailers with lakeside dining, for a change of pace! 

Or, maybe do something out of the ordinary and branch out towards a new adventure in one of Glenvar Heights' neighboring cities!

It could be a stroll along Coral Terrace's peaceful residential streets, a late-night cup of Joe from South Miami's trendy café culture, a no-nonsense Cuban spread at Westchester's classic Cuban bakeries and restaurants, or even more galivanting around Kendall's vibrant commercial strips!
