Pinecrest is one of Miami’s most desirable residential villages, known for tree-lined streets, large lots, and top-tier schools. Located just south of Coral Gables, it offers a quiet, family-oriented lifestyle with easy access to Dadeland, Coconut Grove, and Downtown Miami.
Pinecrest’s character was shaped by a few key moments: early railroad activity under Henry Flagler, the opening of Parrot Jungle in 1936, postwar development of ranch-style homes on acre-sized lots, and incorporation as an independent village in 1996 following Hurricane Andrew. Today, Pinecrest is prized for its leafy landscape, preserved green spaces like Pinecrest Gardens, and long-term real estate stability.
