Miami-Dade County is home to many satellite communities. Miami Lakes is one such community. It is a quiet, unassuming place outside of Miami that people raise families in. The Graham family, well known in Florida politics, resides in Miami Lakes. It was founded on the model of New Urbanism where local businesses, dining, and shopping are all within walking distance of the residences. This unique design gives Miami Lakes the small town feel that families are looking for. It is a great place for your children to grow up in with fine schools and small town values.
