key features
Biscayne Park
A horticulturist named Arthur Mertlow Griffing developed Biscayne Park in the 1920s, uprooting his tomato crop to create the so-called “Gateway to Miami” — and offering a free strawberry shortcake to potential buyers. All of Biscayne Park seems like, well, a park with its wide median strips and green space everywhere you look. In a nod of sorts to America’s then-recent frontier past, the village constructed a log cabin in town during the 1930s. Despite the ongoing Great Depression, village residents covered costs for the building, a community-focused mindset that carries through to today, where the historic cabin houses the local municipal government. Because of the unique layout of Biscayne Park, it doesn’t suffer from the traffic woes often found in the rest of Miami. This residential area, mostly comprised of single-family homes, is adjacent to Miami Shores and is an easy jet out to Bal Harbour and Surfside.
