The Roads Miami Real
Estate is an area of
single family homes located in the heart of Miami, about
a mile west of Downtown. Originally a neighborhood full
of longtime residents that came after World War II, The
Roads, also known as Brickell Roads, has been
increasingly attracting young professionals that work in
the nearby financial district. The Roads is virtually
built out with very few lots remaining, which has caused
prices to go up in the last decade. Thanks to a very
proactive Neighborhood Civic Association, which has
protected the area from commercial over-development,
this part of the city’s original core has maintained its
integrity and can be described as an inner city oasis.
Real estate prices in The Roads
Miami vary greatly depending on size, location and
structure. This highly sophisticated, upscale community
offers a wide range of housing options from grand estates
and manors to luxurious townhouses and quaint condominiums.
Townhouses and condominiums range in price from under
$400,000 to $1 million and more for those possessing
outstanding amenities, prime location to regional shopping
centers or spectacular views.
About
the Roads Miami Real Estate Homes for Sale or Rent
The Roads is a
neighborhood within the
City of Miami in
Miami-Dade County,
Florida, United States.
It is a triangular area
located south of SW 11th
Street, between SW 12th
Avenue and Broadway,
just west of Brickell.
The Roads is known for
its old homes, historic
public schools, and its
tree-covered streets.
The Roads is very close
to Downtown and Brickell,
but is a surprisingly
quiet neighborhood. It
is also a unique
neighborhood because it
is off the Miami grid,
and thus all the streets
in The Roads are named
roads, instead of
streets and avenues, as
is the case in the rest
of Miami.

The Roads Miami home prices and sizes range from moderately priced 2
bedroom homes to luxurious mansions with many amenities. There are newer
projects being developed with “green building design” while maintaining the
beautiful aesthetic of the Roads Miami. There is a variety to suit any need in and
around the area. During the recent downturn in the real estate market, many
areas of The Roads Miami have maintained their value, or have not been hit as hard
as surrounding areas. They say real estate is all about location, and The Roads
Miami has it. It is located
at 25°45′22″N 80°12′18″W / 25.756°N 80.205°W / 25.756;
-80.205, with an elevation 13 feet (4.0 m), making it one of the
higher areas in the city.
The Roads Miami is also
an entire off-grid plan section of the city of Miami. The
streets and avenues in Miami-Dade County are aligned to a grid,
where streets run east-west and avenues run north-south. The
Roads Miami run from Broadway to SW 32nd Road are roughly 45
degrees out of alignment with the grid-plan. The avenues running
perpendicular to these roads are also 45 degrees out of
alignment with their respective avenues coming from the north.
The avenues in this section run northeast-southwest rather than
the standard north-south that the ones in the rest of the county
follow. This causes an abrupt change in numerical designation as
they cross SW 12th Avenue (SW 5th Avenue turns west and becomes
SW 18th Street, SW 4th Avenue turns west and becomes SW 20th
Street, SW 2nd Avenue turns west and becomes SW 22nd Street,
etc.) The most well known example of this confusion is when
historic Coral Way being SW 3rd Avenue, makes a 45 degree turn
onto SW 22nd Street as it crosses over SW 12th Avenue.

Miami Transportation

Real Estate has two
Metrorail stations nearby, the Brickell Station, and the Vizcaya

two blocks in Downtown and Brickell. Many bus routes run through
