Explore Virginia Gardens
Between the energetic flow of Miami International Airport and the tree-lined charm of Miami Springs lies Virginia Gardens, a quaint village with a strong sense of identity guided by mid-century homes, shaded streets, and a tranquil pace amid the city's busiest corridors.
Experience the understated charm of Virginia Gardens, a compact, walkable grid of long-time neighbors, classic ranch-style homes, well-kept front yards, and a local culture rooted in consistency, familiarity, and genuine warmth — complete with its own mayor, police department, and municipal services.
Positioned just minutes from the airport and bordered entirely by Miami Springs, this incorporated village enjoys effortless access to Doral's commercial energy, Hialeah's busy thoroughfares, and the major highways that encircle Miami, while maintaining the peaceful, insulated atmosphere of a small-town retreat in the heart of it all.
Virginia Gardens is home to approximately 2,364 residents as of the latest US Census.
Unlike its larger neighbors offering sweeping commercial corridors and landmark districts, Virginia Gardens stands out for an entirely different reason — its village-scale simplicity, long-standing roots, and constancy that have defined it since its early days as a tiny settlement of farms and horse stables.
Over the decades, while Miami Springs, Doral, and the surrounding Airport District evolved into bustling urban corners, Virginia Gardens held onto its identity as a peaceful, self-contained enclave with its own mayor, police department, and unmistakable neighborhood pride.
Of course, longtime residents know the village's charm isn't just about its cute size or history.
It's Virginia Gardens' welcoming vibe, countryside atmosphere, and steady presence of long-term neighbors that make it a highly regarded incorporated village — a refuge surrounded by some of Miami-Dade's busiest corridors.
Here, you'll find properties that mirror its grounded character, with mid-century single-family homes, tidy duplexes, and small multifamily buildings forming the backbone of the village.
These modest yet well-kept blocks create a walkable residential landscape that favors daily routines, evening strolls, and a sense of community that comes naturally when the entire village spans just a few quiet streets.
For residents craving greenery or a breath of fresh air, Virginia Gardens offers Virginia Gardens Park, the local gathering spot for outdoor play, casual recreation, and neighborhood events.
Beyond its borders, there's Stafford Park and its open lawns and shaded corners for laid-back afternoons, and the Miami Springs Dog Park for your furry companions to have their own place to run, socialize, and stretch their legs — all within minutes of home.
You can say that recreation is an area where Virginia Gardens benefits from its close-knit ties with Miami Springs, so much so that these communities even have a collaborative community program called MSVG Soccer Club, which brings families together on and off the field.
Residents are also just moments from the Miami Springs Golf & Country Club and its scenic fairways, alongside the Miami Springs Aquatic Center, which features pools, splash areas, and seasonal programming for all ages.
For shopping, you have a trio of nearby destinations covering daily errands and full-day splurges, led by CityPlace Doral, a dose of retail, dining, and entertainment in a walkable setting, Westland Promenade for streamlined shopping essentials, and Westland Mall, to expand the mix with department stores, fashion brands, and casual eateries.
Did you know that Virginia Gardens boasts proximity to several historical and cultural landmarks, as well?
First on the list is the Curtiss Mansion, a beautifully restored architectural landmark known as one of the area's most notable heritage sites.
Nearby, the G. Carl Adams House and the Miami Springs Historical Society Museum add depth and local storytelling for those who enjoy tracing Miami's early development.
Even the Hialeah Entrance Plaza, a recognizable local feature just minutes away, provides a colorful nod to the region's historic urban gateways.
Yet, if you ask us what we love most about Virginia Gardens, it would be its immediate access to the Airport District, Le Jeune Road, NW 36th Street, and major expressways linking Doral, Hialeah, Downtown, and beyond.
With its easily accessible location, you're always just a quick drive from wherever the next part of your Miami adventure begins — a sign that living in Virginia Gardens means you'll never lose sight of new routes and opportunities.

Virginia Gardens may be a short stretch on the map, but its lifestyle features comfort and consistency that many residents in central Miami-Dade seemingly gravitate toward.
Surrounded by larger, better-known communities like Miami Springs, Doral, and Hialeah, this incorporated village is on par with its grounded character developed in the 1940s, when farms and horse stables shaped the land long before the surrounding airport district rose.
You can say that it's also a factor in why life in Virginia Gardens revolves around simplicity and routines.
Here, you're only a short drive to nearby recreation hubs, major job centers, and thoroughfares, such as the NW 36th Street, Le Jeune Road, and the Airport Expressway that keep Downtown, Doral, Coral Gables, and Hialeah within reach.
Then, after an exhausting day at work, you can come home to a selection of mid-century single-family properties, duplexes, and small garden-style apartment buildings, with most homes built between the 1940s and 1960s.
These retreats feature classic ranch-style layouts with one-story designs, stucco exteriors, tile or terrazzo floors, and modest lots that make upkeep easy.
As for the prices, well, they stay realistic for central Miami-Dade.
In Virginia Gardens, single-family homes fall within the moderate to mid-range levels, reflecting the village's size and its desirable location near major job hubs.
Duplexes often sit a bit higher due to their rental flexibility, and small multifamily buildings begin in moderate rental price brackets, offering an affordable alternative to those in Doral or Downtown Miami.
You'll also appreciate Virginia Gardens' proximity to premium Miami schools, including Miami Springs Elementary, Miami Springs Middle, and Miami Springs Senior High, along with nearby private options, such as Blessed Trinity Catholic School.
Healthcare is equally accessible, with Hialeah Hospital, Palmetto General Hospital, and Jackson West Medical Center all within a short driving radius, plus multiple clinics and urgent care centers along NW 36th Street and Le Jeune Road.
Stable, comfortable, and reliable — these three words are the true definition of life in Virginia Gardens.
And we bet its loyal residents wouldn't have it any other way.
Find comfort and familiarity in the warm embrace of Virginia Gardens, a slice of stability in the center of it all.
It's an incorporated village that brings small-town calm to the heart of Miami-Dade, offering a rewarding pause from the surrounding rush of the Airport District, Doral, and Hialeah; one shaped by long-time residents, generations of families, and a neighborly spirit that comes naturally in a compact, steady, and family-focused community.
A retreat with deep roots dating back to the 1940s, known for its tidy streets, well-kept homes, and a quality of life grounded in simplicity, safety, and daily ease.
Yes, folks — this is Virginia Gardens, a residential pocket that feels like home from the moment you arrive.
