What is the Best Neighborhood in Miami for your Kids (Updated for 2023)

The Best Miami Neighborhoods to Raise Kids

When thinking of moving to Miami with a family, the first thing that comes to mind is the well-being of your kids.  While most buyers want their kids to be comfortable and attend the best schools they also want to live in a desired and safe neighborhood close to all the action.

As a father of two little girls this topic hits close to home. When I decided on where to move to next, my main concerns were also related to Miami’s best schools, the safest neighborhoods and the most family-friendly areas.  While the links below explore Miami safest areas and those with great schools, this blog will focus more on your children’s quality of life

Safety and Great Schools first

Needless to say parents want the safest area for their kids. As we mentioned in our blog on the safest Miami neighborhoods, areas such as Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, Fisher Island, and Key Biscayne are extremely safe. Many of these areas offer gated communities or 24/7 police control and neighborhood watches. More importantly they are close to Miami’s best schools. So once we know we have safety and good schools around, what is the next step to our children’s happiness? Thats right, playgrounds, beaches, parks and kids’ activities.

Children’s Quality of Life

For your children it is important to live around other children. For this reason you want to live in a family friendly area that doesn’t require driving your kids around for half an hour before you reach their friend’s home.

Desired areas like Brickell, Edgewater, Downtown and the Design District attract a lot of young professionals and to a lesser extent families with young children. Condo life however is often well adapted to young children with playgrounds, kid’s pools and 24/7 security. If you like to live on the Beach with your children you might want to avoid South Beach. The more touristic part of Miami Beach attracts a younger crowd, snowbirds as well as families who own second homes on the beach. Miami Beach with kids is better in the area around La Gorce, North Bay Road, Alton Road and Pine Tree Drive. Many of the homes here are located in gated communities and there are more families in this area. The best areas to live, where you find most families, are the areas of Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, South Miami and Key Biscayne.
