I’m looking forward to hearing from more residents of Biscayne Park – why? because I want know what it is like to live there.
But here is what two of the residents had to say:
1) “I am a 7-year resident of BP (my husband has lived here 40+ years) and mother of three, I can’t agree more about our village’s uniqueness and charm. After having owned homes in both Miami Shores and Keystone Point, living here I actually know MANY of my neighbors and several other residents. We see each other on the street, know each other’s names, wave hello, go to each other’s parties and we notice if there is strange activity at someone’s home. We visit and cook for each other when babies are born and family falls ill. Residents email each other and get involved to maintain this community’s charm and strive to improve whatever possible. Many residents communicate frequently with our police and commission, and we are HEARD. This is all very common here — not just unique to my personal experience but unique to the Biscayne Park experience. Add to that the foliage and wildlife you mention (beautiful birds, lizards, turtles, iguanas) and the result is a small o asis in the midst of Miami’s chaos. It’s great, we love living here. Thank you for recognizing BP!”
2) “We have actually had some really amazing sales lately- one house just closed for $850,000 on the canal- this is even more than peak of the market… but the house was beautiful and special. We have really affordable homes as well- and many have beamed ceilings, fireplaces etc.” One real estate agent, “has a listing here- a super cool house- too cool as it is not moving at the price point- but all it takes is one person! In these days of bad press- we welcome the good mentions- Biscayne park has a lot of quiet money hidden behind average homes- so they want to keep the area secure and quaint-we do have our less affluent folks as well- and we all work together! The premiere street here is Griffing Boulevard- with many hidden cul de sacs all over the park- some of the cul de sacs are 2 acres big! Call me if you need any info on the Park.”
