Regarded as the “City of Pleasant Living,” what exactly makes the city of South Miami so pleasant to live in? Its expansive residential neighborhoods and parks, abundance of dining options and shopping centers, and small town feeling in the midst of the large Miami metropolitan area could all be the correct answer. Neighboring the cities of Coral Gables and Pinecrest, South Miami has created a name for itself with its prime location that offers residents a small town atmosphere, complete with its own nightlife, entertainment venues and array of shopping options, as well as easy access to all that a big city such as Miami has to offer. The city also features some of Miami’s finest public schools as well as is the home to two major hospitals whose service spans the entire Miami-Dade County.

The City of South Miami, approximately 3 miles south of the City of Miami, encompasses 2.5 square miles within Miami-Dade County. It borders the University of Miami’s main campus and the cities of Coral Gables and Pinecrest. U.S. Highway 1 (South Dixie Highway) carries tens of thousands of vehicles through the city on a daily basis. South Miami, incorporated in 1927, is one of the County’s oldest municipalities with a permanent residential, tri- ethnic population of approximately 11,000.
