Important highway that links extreme parts of south Miami. Despite the fact it's busy, has lots of big stores, a big mall, intersects with important north-south highways, one can still find nice but affordable apartment complexes to live in.

The area around 77th has apartments for rent as well as houses. It's near the University, South Miami commercial area, right beside US1 (Dixie hwy), so it's great for a student or for a couple starting up. Grocery store is just a few block away. You can catch the "people mover" (above ground metro that goes to downtown Miami and beyond) and buses right on US1.

The title says it all: "Very affordable housing near Coral Gables and South Miami" , it's near gas stations, mall, shops, post office, nice restaurants, hair dressers... You cross Sunset Dr and you're in a beautifully landscaped area, great for walking or riding a bike. Safe area.

Alhambra is a road following a salt water canal, each house has its own dock. Lush gardens, trees and flowers everywhere, big and small houses enjoy the tropical airs alike. It's near a grocery story and near South Miami, a commercial area with charming shops and restaurants as well as an open mall.

SW 72nd St, or Sunset Dr, is all residential (Coral Gables) til about SW 54th St. After that and til US1 is full of nice shops, nice restaurants and that area is called South Miami.

Old Cutler Rd is a major road in that area but the space between the road and the houses is huge, there's plaenty of room there for a 6 lane highway but they dont want that beautiful 2 lane road to change (and it cant be changed, since it's a historical highway). So even though it's a busy road, living there is still very very pleasant and quiet. Expensive though.

Cocoplum Road is all residential with awesome houses and beautiful landscaping - and if that wasnt enough it also takes you to the most beautiful gated communities of Coconut Grove, where most houses have their own dock (but there's also a marina). It's an area with many salt water canals, it's a tropical Venice.

The south side of Battersea Rd (on both sides of S Douglas Rd) is all residential with very organized lots, smaller lots than the rest of Coconut Grove since this is an area that developed in the last 20 years. Many houses have a garage for the car AND a dock for the boat. Big houses, expensive area

Nice houses with tile roofs, lush landscaping, great for walking and running, great area for families, in between 2 important commercial areas: Coconut Grove (lots of cool shops, book store, Myfair mall) and South Miami (restaurants, shops, cool open mall)

Eye sore in the middle of Coconut Grove. Multiple family housing everywhere, as well as police.

As you go south on it, from US1, Coral Gables is on your right (names of the streets are on cool white stones on the ground) and Coconut Grove is on your left. It's a busy street, but that south part is very residential (the north part, north of US1 is very commercial).

Narrow pretty street, trees and flowers everywhere. But it links 2 important hiways in Coconut Grove and it's used as back street route by the locals between Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. But still a nice and expensive place to live.

It links 2 important Coconut Grove streets (Main Hwy and Douglas) but it still is a very nice and expensive area.

This goes south all the way to the Florida Keys. It's busy with commercial stuff - you can find anything there.

This street was made a "historical highway" by the citizens living there so that it would remain quaint, small, pleasant, beautiful. Even though it has lots of traffic, it's one of the post card spots of Coconut Grove. Expensive area with mansions.

Quiet and pleasant street, lots of trees, flowers, beautiful landscaping. Gorgeous stone church with a wonderful community. Very nice area of Coconut Grove to live in, expensive too

This street is used by the people who live there as the back way between 2 important neighborhoods: Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Even though it has that traffic, it's calm and quaint, full of beautiful houses, flowers, trees, and lots of bouganvillea. The part closer to the water is a lot more expensive. This area is creme de la creme in Miami.

Quiet, pleasant, beautiful gardens, secure (lots of police around). You can have your boat there too. Nice neighborhood.
