South Miami has so many great neighborhoods, each with its own character, and one that I think has a great location and value is the area south of SW 80 Street down to Dante Fascell Park, bordered by Red Road on the east and US 1 on the West. The average listing price per square foot is $271, selling price per square foot is $232, and time on the market from listing to sale is 92 days. The average sale price during 2010 has been $536,000.
