About location

Miami Lakes has served as a planned community in northwest Miami-Dade County since the 1960s. Developed on former dairy farmland owned by the Graham family, it was laid out with residential neighbourhoods, green spaces and a network of lakes rather than a traditional downtown grid. The town incorporated in 2000, while Main Street Miami Lakes remains its commercial and social centre. Set on South Florida's low Atlantic coastal plain, inland from the Atlantic Ocean, Miami Lakes forms part of the metropolitan area around Miami but retains a distinctly suburban scale. Its lake-based plan reflects the region's post-war growth and the longstanding influence of the Graham Companies.

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.

Country 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.
