About Miami Lakes:

Created in the early 1960's, the original Miami Lakes was the idea and vision of the Graham family and the result of a Master Plan for urban development designed by L. Collins, Dean of the Harvard School of Architecture. Houses were built on a curving network of streets narrow enough to avoid fast driving, with children parks every 25-30 houses.

In 1984 a town center was constructed, a mixed-use boulevard of restaurants, a hotel, shops on the ground level with apartments and offices above, all of this a short walk from the residential areas.

Miami Lakes was incorporated in December, 2000, becoming one of 34 municipalities in Miami-Dade County. The Graham Company still manages and develops real estate in the area. The community is today one of the most desirable areas of South Florida, real estate in Miami Lakes have increased value faster than all surrounding areas.
