Miami Springs, Florida

Miami Springs is a small, residential city with a village character and quick access to Miami International Airport and major highways. It's dominated by single-family homes and assigned schools include John I. Smith K-8 Center and Miami Springs Middle School, making it a practical pick for buyers who want a calmer setting inside the metro.

It sits on the higher end for the area, with a median list price of $975,000 and an average of $563 per square foot. There's real range, though — active listings run from $280,000 up to nearly $4M, and you can browse by price to find the entry points.

Over the past 12 months, 89 homes sold at a median price of $750,000, while current active listings carry a higher $975,000 median list price. The median home is about 1,593 square feet, and luxury homes ($1m+) make up 11 of the 27 active listings.

It's a steady, compact market — 27 homes are active and they're selling in a median of 49 days. Sellers are averaging about 95% of their asking price, so there's some negotiating room; watching just reduced listings can surface the best opportunities.

There's no meaningful median HOA figure here, which fits a market built largely on detached single-family homes. The median annual property tax runs about $9,787, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is around $3,000 per month among homes for rent.
