Explore Three Lakes

Lined by shimmering freshwater lakes, looping culs-de-sac, and rows of contemporary retreats reflecting softly against the shoreline, Three Lakes is a master-planned suburban pocket designed around calm, scenic residential living.

Created as part of South Miami-Dade's newer suburban expansion and known for its trio of intentionally arranged communities, Deerwood, Bonita Lakes, and the namesake Three Lakes, Three Lakes stands as a modern lakeside haven shaped by a family-oriented atmosphere, nature's beauty, and clean-cut subdivisions.

It is located between SW 128th Street and SW 136th Street, bordered by the Florida Turnpike to the west and SW 122nd Avenue to the east, offering proximity to Richmond Heights, Country Walk, The Crossings, and Richmond West.

Three Lakes is home to approximately 16,540 residents as of the latest US Census.

Nestled along calm lakes and carefully arranged neighborhoods, is Three Lakes, a suburban enclave that has grown into one of South Miami-Dade's neatest, most structured communities, with curved streets that follow the water's edge, tidy landscaping year-round, and newer development roots that show in every detail, from the organized layout and its homes' matching color palettes to the quiet, predictable grind that residents live in.

At its heart, you'll find Three Lakes Park, a local favorite for families who want open space, shaded paths, or a quick moment outdoors, along with yet another green pocket, Deerwood Bonita Lakes Park, which is a top pick for dog owners who enjoy its pet-friendly trails and small lakeside corners.

Nearby, Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground offers expansive fields, bike routes, picnic spots, and a full campground for those who prefer a more expansive and open-ended nature spot with plenty of activities.

Outside its boundaries, Three Lakes shares common historical touchpoints and cultural stops with other South Dade communities, which include the Bay of Pigs Air Memorial and its deeply rooted significance in Miami's Cuban-American story, along with the Miami-Dade Military Museum, which encourages visitors to take a closer look at the region's wartime history, community contributions, and preserved military artifacts.

Three Lakes also provides proximity to some of the county's most popular tourist attractions, such as the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, which brings vintage locomotives and hands-on exhibits to life for kids and collectors alike, and Zoo Miami—one of the top zoological parks in the country—which sits close enough for spontaneous weekend visits, school outings, or leisurely days spent exploring its massive wildlife habitats.

For your errands, you have a local shopping center in your midst, Deerwood Town Center, to do your groceries, quick meals, and everyday basics, the Country Walk Plaza, a few minutes up the road, and the London Square to expand your options with major retailers, restaurants, and entertainment spots.

Here, recreation, convenience, and suburban calm build an environment shaped by the water, designed with intention, and lived in with ease.

You know that one classmate who always keeps their bags neatly organized and never comes to class without an extra pen and paper?

They're the human form of Three Lakes.

Offering expertly landscaped lawns, picturesque streets, shimmering lakes, and the quiet order that comes naturally to well-planned suburbs, this master-planned enclave features a lifestyle that revolves around ease, structure, and new era charm. 

Its neighborhoods, Deerwood, Bonita Lakes, and Three Lakes, were formed during Miami-Dade's later waves of suburban expansion, giving it a fresher, more intentional feel, where homes line the water in steady rows and mornings begin in the calmness of nature.

Architecturally, Three Lakes has a contemporary suburban design, softened by light Mediterranean touches, seen in its stucco walls, warm-toned roofs, and consistent façades. 

That said, this community, surprisingly, isn't as expensive as you'd think.

In Three Lakes, home prices generally range between the mid-$400Ks and high-$600Ks, with renovated or lake-facing properties being on the higher price point, and townhomes offering more approachable entry points for new buyers— a varied selection of homes that draws in professionals, families looking for stability, and long-term residents who value the predictability that HOA-guided neighborhoods provide.

Much of the community's cohesiveness comes from active associations across all three neighborhoods. 

Their shared oversight allows neat landscaping, well-maintained waterways, and visually uniform culs-de-sac, creating a polished and dependable environment that residents often cite as one of Three Lakes' strengths.

And while it doesn't have a dedicated set of schools, families in Three Lakes benefit from having several well-regarded schools within close reach, including Frank C. Martin K–8, a standout magnet known for its strong academic programs; Jack David Gordon Elementary School, for young learners; and Richmond Heights Middle School, the zoned middle school for many nearby communities. 

For parents exploring charter options, BridgePrep Academy of Village Green offers an additional pathway just a short drive away.

As for healthcare, you'll find urgent care centers and clinics along Kendall Drive and SW 137th Avenue, with larger facilities available through Baptist Health's extensive network in Kendall. 

The Florida Turnpike's proximity makes commuting north or south surprisingly simple, even without a robust network of public transit options.

With its lakefront rhythm, tidy streets, and thoughtfully arranged neighborhoods, Three Lakes offers a prime suburban lifestyle intended for those who want modern convenience, visual order, and a peaceful environment to come home to.

Ready to embrace a suburban pocket that's tidy, well-planned, and refreshingly uncomplicated?

While Three Lakes doesn't offer 24/7 access to Miami's beaches or nightlife, it provides something far more grounding — a tidy, lake-wrapped suburban rhythm shaped by water views, planned communities, and everyday ease.

It's a part of Miami where you can feel pleasantly shielded from the city's noise—yet never too distant from the shops, dining, and major roads that Miamians enjoy daily.

For many, this unique mix of calm living and premium access is what makes Three Lakes a dream.

If that sounds like the lifestyle you've been searching for, it's time to wake up to a life in Three Lakes.
