Biscayne Gardens

It's an established, primarily residential neighborhood in northern Miami-Dade with a settled low-rise feel and a few waterfront homes among its listings. Families can look to assigned schools such as Ethel F. Beckford/Richmond Primary Learning Center. It suits buyers who want a real community close to the wider Opa Locka area rather than a brand-new development.

It sits in the mid-range for Miami-Dade, with a median list price of $660,000 and homes averaging $437 per square foot. Actual sales over the past year came in at a $545,000 median, so buyers who negotiate often pay less than the headline list prices.

Active listings range from $499,000 to $1,410,000, with a median list of $660,000 on a typical 1,660-square-foot home. Only one home is currently priced above $1 million, so most inventory clusters in the mid-to-high six figures.

There are 19 active listings and homes are taking a median of 63 days to sell, which points to a measured, buyer-friendly pace. Sellers averaged 96% of asking over the last 12 months across 31 closed sales, so well-priced offers are getting accepted.

Most homes here are not tied to an HOA, so there's no typical monthly association fee reported. The median annual property tax runs about $6,422, and rentals in the area carry a median asking rent near $2,800 a month if you're weighing buying against leasing.
