Discover Gladeview: Miami's Hidden Waterfront Community

Where quiet canals wind past modest homes and neighbors still gather for weekend barbecues, Gladeview offers one of Miami's most surprising affordable waterfront lifestyles—an unpretentious boating community hidden between I-95 and Biscayne Bay. This working-class neighborhood attracts teachers, first responders, and young families drawn to its small-town vibe with big-city access.

Old Florida Waterfront Living

Gladeview features:

  • 1950s-60s canal-front cottages with original details

  • Expanded ranch homes on deep-water lots

  • Fixer-uppers with private docks

  • Occasional architectural gems by Andrew Capitman

Neighborhood Perks:

Direct canal access to Biscayne Bay
Gladeview Park - Waterfront green space with marina
10-minute drive to Design District and Wynwood
No HOA fees but strong community pride

The Gladeview Rhythm

Living here means:

Morning: Fishing off your backyard dock before work
Afternoon: Kayaking through mangrove-lined canals
Evening: Sunset drinks on your screened porch
Weekends: Boating to the sandbar or biking to Morningside

Why Gladeview Shines

  • Miami's most affordable deep-water access

  • Old Florida charm increasingly rare in central Miami

  • 15-minute commute to downtown and beaches

  • Active boating community with regular flotillas

For those who dream of waterfront living without the glitz—where your biggest expense is boat fuel, not HOA fees—Gladeview delivers authentic Miami marine life with neighborhood soul.
