Get to know Miami Springs

When aviation pioneer Glenn Hammond Curtiss helped found Miami Springs during Florida’s 1920s land boom, the city was called Country Club Estates. It was one of the state’s first planned communities, along with Coral Gables, laid out with a general theme of Pueblo Revival-style architecture. Present-day Miami Springs embodies the “Main Street, USA” ethos, and everything has a parklike atmosphere. Locals enjoy biking, running, or walking their dogs on shade-covered streets. Miami Springs is less than 10 miles from Downtown Miami’s wonder and sits due north of Miami International Airport, putting global experiences at its doorstep. Even though the city’s original name faded away, Miami Springs does have a beautiful golf course and country club — verdant grounds shared by Curtiss’ historic Pueblo Revival mansion.

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.
