About location

Miami Lakes is best known within Florida for its master-planned residential community, created around a network of lakes and landscaped streets. Incorporated as a town in 2000, it occupies low, level ground in northwestern Miami-Dade County, on the Atlantic coastal plain and east of the Everglades. Interstate 75 crosses its western side near Northwest 138th Street, an important arterial corridor for the wider Miami metropolitan area. The town developed from land assembled by the Graham Companies in the 1960s and retains a deliberately suburban pattern: homes, schools, parks, shopping areas and offices are set among water features and mature planting. Main Street forms its compact civic and commercial center, with Mediterranean Revival-inspired buildings giving the community a recognizable local identity.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
