Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High

It's a solid choice for families who want to be inside a known school attendance zone with campuses like Hialeah Senior High School nearby. The area is a dense, established residential community in northwest Hialeah, and 389 homes changed hands here in the past year, so it's an active, lived-in neighborhood rather than a quiet backwater.

By Miami-Dade standards it's moderate — the median list price is $380,000 and the median sold price over the last year was $445,000. Listings start as low as $175,000, though a small luxury tier of eight homes runs past $1 million, so there's range depending on what you're after.

Expect around $365 per square foot with a median home size near 1,100 square feet, which puts a typical home in the high-$300,000s to mid-$400,000s. There are currently 179 active listings on the live map, spanning everything from starter houses to properties above $3 million.

It's balanced and steady, with a median of 38 days on market and sellers getting about 96% of asking on average. That combination means motivated sellers and room to negotiate, without the bidding wars you'd see in a red-hot market.

The median HOA fee here is about $456 per month, though many single-family homes carry no HOA at all — that figure reflects the condo and townhome side of the market. Median annual property tax runs around $3,470, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is about $2,100 per month.
