Townhouse for Sale in Miami Shores, Miami Shores

Miami Shores is a small, primarily residential village in Miami-Dade County with tree-lined streets, historic single-family homes (Mediterranean and Miami Modern styles), and a compact commercial corridor along Biscayne Boulevard. Residents enjoy local parks, a country club, community events, and waterfront access to Biscayne Bay while remaining close to Miami’s employment and cultural centers. Housing and overall cost of living are above the county median; crime rates are generally lower than in many nearby urban neighborhoods and public education is provided by Miami-Dade County Public Schools with private options available. The climate is tropical—hot, humid summers and mild winters—and the area faces hurricane and flood risk, so preparedness and flood insurance are common considerations.

Housing and living costs in Miami Shores are higher than Miami‑Dade County and U.S. averages, driven by a predominance of single‑family historic homes and proximity to central Miami.

Specific median sale and rental figures change frequently; consult current MLS listings or Miami‑Dade market reports for up-to-date numbers.
