Hialeah Gardens Homes for Sale & Neighborhood Guide

The city began as the Walter C. Ohlerts Tourist Camp and incorporated in December 1948 with 26 unanimous votes. In February 1949 it adopted its first building code, traffic ordinance and hunting laws, and for two decades it stayed rural, with horse raising as a main occupation, until a 1968 land-use and zoning master plan set the pattern of growth. The current comprehensive plan dates to 2007.

Boundaries run from NW 170th Street on the north to West 35th Street on the south, with the Turnpike and West Okeechobee Road (US 27) on the west and the Palmetto Expressway on the southeast; Hialeah wraps the east and north and Medley sits to the southwest. The 2020 census counted 23,068 residents, up from 21,744 in 2010, in 3.67 square miles, 3.22 of them land. City Hall is at 10001 NW 87th Avenue, and the city runs a mayor-council government with five council members.

The city's zoning map tells the housing story. The north district is low-to-moderate-density single-family and estate lots; the central district mixes moderate- and medium-density residential with commercial; the south district has high-density residential beside commercial and industrial uses; and the northwest district is almost entirely industrial. So townhouses and condos concentrate in the south and center, and the larger lots sit north toward NW 170th Street.

Homeownership was 65.6 percent in 2020, per Data USA figures cited in the county TPO's background report. Redfin reported a median sale price of $357,321 in July 2026, down 14.5 percent year over year on only 16 sales that month, at about $434 per square foot, so the mix of what sold moves the median more than the market does. Redfin splits listings into North, Central and South Hialeah Gardens, which matches the zoning districts.

West Okeechobee Road (US 27) is the main artery and forms most of the western boundary, with a Turnpike interchange to the northwest and the Palmetto meeting Okeechobee at the southeast corner; NW 103rd Street (SR 932) crosses the south district east to west. A state project to widen Okeechobee Road and its frontage road was scheduled to start in July 2023, in segments from the Broward line to the Turnpike and from NW 107th Avenue to NW 116th Way.

Transit is limited: Metrobus routes 33 and 54 and Hialeah's free Marlin route run along NW 103rd Street. By road, City Hall is about 11 miles from Miami International Airport, about 16 miles from Downtown Miami and under 4 miles from Main Street in Miami Lakes. The TPO report notes that most residents drive alone, with an average commute of about 30 minutes on 2020 Data USA figures.

Westland Gardens Park at 13501 NW 107th Avenue is the recreation hub, with tennis and basketball courts, a heated pool, a full-size baseball field, a playground and wet zone, and two banquet halls, the larger for up to 130 people. The Hialeah Gardens Botanical Garden, at the east end of the same complex, opened after a $1.4 million investment: five acres with more than 500 native species and over 45,000 plants, free to enter and passive-use only.

Smaller parks include Golden Eagle Park at 9784 NW 130th Street, Joe Sherron Park at 8889 NW 116th Street and Bernie Wilson Park, each with gazebos and playgrounds. Most commerce lines the east side of West Okeechobee Road, with big-box stores scattered through the other districts. Hospitals are in neighboring Hialeah, including Palmetto General at 2001 West 68th Street, and Amelia Earhart Park's 515 acres of trails and lakes sit on Hialeah's north side.

The city lists six schools on its site. Miami-Dade County Public Schools runs Hialeah Gardens Elementary at 9702 NW 130th Street, West Hialeah Gardens Elementary at 11990 NW 92nd Avenue (opened 2007-08), Hialeah Gardens Middle at 11690 NW 92nd Avenue (opened 2008-09) and Hialeah Gardens High at 11700 Hialeah Gardens Boulevard, which opened in August 2009 as a reliever for Barbara Goleman High and enrolled about 3,046 students in 2023-24.

Two charters round it out: Mater Academy Charter Middle/High at 7901 NW 103rd Street, founded in 2002, and Mater Academy Elementary at 7700 NW 98th Street. Because three of the district schools opened within three years of each other, the west side has some of the newest public school buildings in the county. Confirm the assignment for the exact address with the district before you buy.

Start with the flood zone. The city sits inland between the Miami Canal and the Turnpike, and Miami-Dade maps this side of the county in FEMA zones AE, AH and X; an AE or AH home with a federally backed loan requires flood insurance. Use the county lookup or our flood tool, and ask for an elevation certificate.

Townhouse and condo buyers should read the association budget, reserves and rental rules and, for buildings three stories and taller, the county recertification status. Walk the block at 7 a.m.: parts of the south and northwest districts sit beside warehouses, and truck routes to Okeechobee Road matter more here than in most suburbs. On single-family lots in the north, pull the permit history for any addition and confirm the water and sewer connection.

With only a few dozen sales a month, pricing is about the right comparables rather than the city median. Redfin rated the market somewhat competitive in July 2026, with homes going pending in about 51 days and selling around 4 percent below list; the best-prepared homes moved in about 26 days.

Townhouse sellers compete with near-identical units in the same association, so a clean estoppel, a low or paid assessment and impact windows are what move a buyer. Estate-lot sellers in the north should photograph the lot and the quiet street; that inventory is scarce and draws its own buyers.
