West Miami, FL

West Miami is a tiny Miami-Dade County city tucked between Tamiami Trail and Coral Way. At less than three-quarters of a square mile, it is compact even by inner-suburban standards, but it has its own parks and municipal identity. The city sits beside Miami, Coral Gables, and Westchester, so daily life is intensely urban and bilingual. West Miami feels dense, practical, and local, with small houses, Cuban and Latin American influence, traffic, and neighborhood parks packed into a very small footprint.
