Get to know Hialeah

They don’t call Hialeah the “City of Progress” for nothing. From its earliest days with a population under 2000, Hialeah has grown into one of Florida’s largest cities. Hialeah’s most significant cultural imprint is undoubtedly the historic Hialeah Park Race Track, with its Renaissance Revival-style clubhouse. The track’s 1925 opening was big South Florida news in the days before major sports franchises arrived in the area. This so-called “Jewel of Hialeah” attracted notable guests like Winston Churchill while featuring highly-regarded racehorses such as Seabiscuit. It also doubles today as a designated bird sanctuary for the American flamingo. Culinary hidden gems abound across this vibrant city, which also claims craft breweries and a burgeoning art district. To the north, Amelia Earhart Park boasts five lakes, a fishing pier, sand volleyball courts, disc golf, and more across 515 acres.

Living in Miami-Dade

In Florida, “going south” is hardly a bad thing. Miami-Dade includes and surrounds the southernmost metropolis in the entire continental United States — and as the most populous county in the state, it’s home to a confluence of culture, cuisine, and recreation like no other. Its most dense stretch lies clustered in a strip roughly 20 miles wide, with a high rise-studded coastline balanced by more spread-out suburban neighborhoods that become increasingly prevalent heading inland. Miami-Dade also includes the upper Florida Keys and, lesser-known at large, a $2 billion agricultural industry operating predominantly in the lower half of the county, where farm fields operate in symbiosis with wildlife conservation and water recharge habitats. Residents commuting to the commercial districts of Miami benefit from the extensive Metrorail system, serving 23 stations along a 24-mile route between Palmetto and Kendall with a connection to Miami International Airport.
