Miami-Dade County · Village of Large Estates
Pinecrest
Big lots, deep shade, and one of Florida's most sought-after addresses.
Neighborhood overview
What it's like to live in Pinecrest
Pinecrest is an unincorporated village southeast of Coral Gables known for its quarter-acre-plus lots, mature oaks, and deep, quiet streets. It is consistently one of the most desirable family addresses in Miami-Dade, with a blend of original Mediterranean homes, custom estates, and modern rebuilds.
People move to Pinecrest for space and community: room for a pool and a playset, neighbors who know each other, and an environment that still feels like residential Florida rather than a condo skyline.
The daily rhythm
Suburban in the best sense. Weekend soccer games, block parties, and long bike rides on shaded streets. The pace is slow, the lawns are big, and the schools are a driving reason for many moves.
