When it incorporated in December 2000, the Town of Miami Lakes became the 31st municipality in Miami-Dade County. Known as one of the youngest cities in Miami-Dade County, Miami Lakes is home to approximately 30,000 residents and more than 1,700 businesses. The Town of Miami Lakes is located in Northwest Miami-Dade County. Conveniently located just 16 miles north of Downtown Miami and 10 miles from Miami International Airport, the Town encompasses approximately 6.8 square miles.
Miami Lakes is best known for being a Master Plan community that was developed by the Graham family over 50 years. Unlike many cities and towns created during the early 1960s, the Grahams decided to create a master plan for the city that would allow for decades of growth, construction, and changing market conditions. Miami Lakes is known as one of the most beautiful residential areas in South Florida for its tree lined streets, large estate lots, and extremely low crime rate.
Our number one goal is to continue with the enhancement of Miami Lakes’ quality of life and unique community feel through visionary land use planning, efficient provision of public facilities and services, protection of neighborhoods, and conservation of those built and natural assets, which define the Town.
As the Town of Miami Lakes looks to the future, it will continue to strive for innovation, while remaining true to its original founders’ vision of providing the highest quality of life for its residents and visitors.
