Townhouse for Sale in Miami Shores, Miami Shores

Miami Shores is a small, primarily residential village north of central Miami characterized by tree-lined streets, single-family homes, and a compact village commercial district with cafes and shops. Residents have access to local parks, municipal services, and public schools in the Miami-Dade County system, with convenient highway access (I‑95 and Biscayne Boulevard) and bus connections to central Miami. Housing is largely single-family and tends to be more expensive than much of Miami-Dade County, while crime rates are generally lower than many parts of the broader Miami area. The climate is tropical—hot, humid summers and mild winters—and the area faces hurricane season and long-term sea-level rise and flooding risks common to Miami-Dade County.

Miami Shores is generally more expensive than Miami-Dade County and the U.S. average, primarily because of higher housing costs. Housing is dominated by single-family homes and upscale condos, with typical sale prices commonly in the high six-figures and reaching into the millions for waterfront or extensively renovated properties. Median household income and property values in the village are above county averages, resulting in a higher local cost of living than much of the surrounding region.

Miami Shores has a tropical monsoon climate with hot, humid summers and warm, relatively dry winters. The wet season runs roughly May–October with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and most of the area’s ~60–65 inches (1,500–1,650 mm) of annual rainfall; November–April is drier and sunnier. Average summer highs are about 88–91°F (31–33°C) and winter highs about 74–77°F (23–25°C), with winter lows typically 60–64°F (15–18°C). Hurricane season is June 1–November 30 (peak August–October), and coastal humidity plus sea breezes strongly influence daily conditions.

Miami Shores has generally lower violent-crime rates than the Miami-Dade County average and is served by its own municipal police department. Property crime (burglaries and vehicle theft/break-ins) is the most commonly reported issue, reflecting broader South Florida trends.
