About South Miami
South Miami, Florida
South Miami is a charming, village-scale city in Miami-Dade County that has managed to preserve its small-town character, walkable downtown, and tight-knit community identity while sitting at the nexus of some of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods. Often overlooked by buyers focused on better-known areas, South Miami offers a quality of life that rivals its prestigious neighbors—Coral Gables, Pinecrest, and Coconut Grove—at price points that frequently represent better relative value.
Incorporated in 1927, the City of South Miami covers approximately 2.3 square miles and is served by ZIP code 33143. The city is bounded by Coral Gables to the north, Pinecrest to the south, and Kendall to the west, positioning it as a hub connecting several of South Florida’s most desirable residential areas. The University of Miami is just across the border in Coral Gables.
Sunset Drive—the city’s main commercial street and a Florida Scenic Highway—hosts independent restaurants, specialty shops, a weekly farmers market, a movie theater, and community gathering spaces that give South Miami its authentic village character. Explore all Miami communities →
