Neighborhoods to know in your next visit to Miami
Florida Time Share Rental and Little Havana.
If you've never been to Cuba, just visit this small section of Miami and you'll come pretty close. The
sounds, tastes, and rhythms are very reminiscent of Cuba's capital city, and some even jokingly say you
don't have to speak a word of English to live an independent life here -- even street signs are in Spanish
and English.
Cuban coffee shops, tailor and furniture stores and inexpensive restaurants line "Calle Ocho"
(pronounced Ka-yey O-choh), SW 8th Street, the region's main thoroughfare. In Little Havana, salsa and
merengue beats ring loudly from old record stores while old men in guayaberas (loose-fitting cotton or
gauzy shirts, short sleeved, used to keep cool in Cuba and now a fashion statement in Miami) smoke cigars
over their daily game of dominoes. The spotlight focused on the neighborhood during the Elián González
situation in 2000, but the area was previously noted for the groups of artists and nocturnal types who have
moved their galleries and performance spaces here, sparking a culturally charged neobohemian nightlife.
Florida Time Share Rental in Coral Gables.
"The City Beautiful," created by George
Merrick in the early 1920s, is one of Miami's first planned developments. This is not Levittown: The houses
here were built in a Mediterranean style along lush, tree-lined streets that open onto beautifully carved
plazas, many with centerpiece fountains. The best architectural examples of the era have Spanish-style
tiled roofs and are built from Miami oolite, native limestone commonly called "coral rock." The Gables's
European-flaired shopping and commerce center is home to many thriving corporations. Coral Gables also has
landmark hotels, Florida time share rental properties, great golfing, upscale shopping to rival Bal
Harbour, and some of the city's best restaurants, headed by world-renowned chefs.
Florida Time Share Rental and Coconut Grove.
An arty, hippie hangout in the
psychedelic '60s, Coconut Grove has given way from swirls of tie-dyes to the uniform color schemes of the
Gap. Chain stores, theme restaurants, a megaplex, and bars galore make Coconut Grove a commercial success,
but this gentrification has pushed most alternative types out. Ritzier types have now resurfaced here,
thanks, in part, to the anti-boho Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove. The intersection of Grand Avenue, Main
Highway, and McFarlane Road pierces the area's Florida time share rental heart. Right in the center of it
all is CocoWalk and the Shops at Mayfair, filled with boutiques, eateries, and bars. Sidewalks here are
often crowded, especially at night, when University of Miami students (who frequent this adopted college
town) come out to play.
Florida Time Share Rental in Southern Miami-Dade County.
To locals, South Miami is
both a specific area, southwest of Coral Gables, and a general region that encompasses all of southern
Dade County, including Kendall, Perrine, Cutler Ridge, and Homestead. For the purposes of clarity, this
book has grouped all these southern suburbs under the rubric "Southern Miami-Dade County." Similar
attributes unite the communities: They are heavily residential and packed with strip malls amid a few
remaining plots of farmland. Tourists don't usually stay in these parts, unless they are on their way to
the Everglades or the Keys. However, Southern Miami-Dade County contains many of the city's top attractions
and Florida time share rental, meaning that you're likely to spend at least some of your time in Miami
here.
