City
of North Miami Community Profile
A Place in which to Live and have Fun
North Miami offers a wide variety of housing
options, from affordable single-family homes and apartment condominiums
-- both rental and owner-occupied, to multi-million dollar estates
looking over the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Affordability with quality
is the main thrust and one of the greatest advantages of North Miami,
where housing values have kept strong and steady over time.
North Miami is also a place where people enjoy life! With a subtropical
climate, North Miami is a haven for outdoor recreational
activities like running, bicycling, tennis, and boating, along
with miles of sandy beaches close by. In addition, the local City's
Parks and Recreation Department offers a number of programs which
include athletics, aquatic 5, ceramics, senior activities, and special
seasonal and holiday programs. The City also organizes and supports
a number of community
events including the Winternational Parade, the Miss North Miami
Scholarship Pageant, and Independence Day celebrations.
Parks, Recreation and Entertainment
The City's Parks and Recreation
Department manages 11 public parks, 2 swimming pools, one of
which is the site of a Wet-Tot-Lot, 8 Tot-lots, and 3 tennis court
facilities. North Miami also offers a multitude of programs and
classes for young children, teens, adults, and seniors in the areas
of art, music, health, gymnastics, sports, and special social activities.
North Miami residents and visitors enjoy a variety of leisure and
recreational activities such as taking a walk along the bay, spending
an afternoon at the Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park (a 22-acre
natural oak hammock), visiting the Oleta River State Recreation
Area, dining in style at one of the many home-style or gourmet restaurants,
or simply relaxing at one of its charming and cozy downtown coffee
houses.
A Friendly & Diverse Community, A Bright Future...
North Miami is a multi-ethnic community. It shares South Florida's
joy and excitement, and exemplifies the vibrant diversity upon which
the region thrives. In that sense, North Miami is unique -- a micro-cosmos
of a complex and rich palate of languages, cultures, ages, and races.
North-Miamians are friendly, respectful, and appreciative towards
each other and to visitors. Deeply immersed in their day-to-day
city life, they are open-minded, cultivate a deep sense of awareness,
and share a bright vision of the future.
