Your Resident Specialist

Where I Live. What I Know.

Glenvar Heights isn't on every buyer's radar, and its residents prefer it that way. This 4.3-square-mile census-designated place (CDP) sits in the heart of Southwest Miami-Dade, bordered by the Don Shula Expressway to the west, SW 67th Avenue to the east, Bird Road to the north, and SW 84th Street to the south. Spanning zip codes 33143, 33155, and 33173, the neighborhood is largely unincorporated Miami-Dade County, though it includes sections of South Miami.

As a Glenvar Heights resident, I know this community at a level no outside agent can match. I've raised my family here, watched the market evolve block by block, and helped dozens of buyers and sellers navigate transactions on these specific streets. When I tell you the character of a particular block, it's because I've walked it thousands of times.

What makes Glenvar Heights stand apart is the combination of generous lot sizes (ranging from 10,000 square feet to over an acre), a beautiful mature tree canopy throughout the neighborhood, and easy access to the rest of the city via the Don Shula/Palmetto Expressway and US-1. The University of Miami is just minutes away, and Downtown, Brickell, the airport, and the Beaches are all within a 15 to 25-minute drive.

I own, live, and work in Glenvar Heights. That intimate familiarity with the neighborhood, its streets, its homes, and its people is something no amount of MLS research can replace.
