Top 5 Shopping Spots near North Miami

1) Village Place - Miami Shores Downtown

94th to 101st Street, NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Shores, FL 33138

Fancy pairing your quick shopping run with a delicious spread?

Drive by 94th to 101st on northeast 2nd Avenue and find Miami Shores'  revitalized downtown area, the Village Place, an all-in-one destination only 7 minutes away from North Miami!

Here, you'll find a series of pocket parks, specialty shops, and several restaurants and cafes to explore, including Tinta y Cafe, Starbucks, and Sins Gastrobar!

And let me tell you, that's just the tip of the iceberg — aside from the three food spots, you'll have 14 more shops in your midst!

Support local as you enjoy relaxing sights, unique finds, and delicious food — albeit the Village Place is more of a dining destination, it's the perfect spot for gift-hunting, shopping for homewares, and a quick grocery run from local business owners and the artisan community!

And best of all, it's only a quick commute from NoMi!

2) Biscayne Commons 

14681 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Beach, FL 33181

Up for more of Miami's shopping highlights?

For a quick shopping run near North Miami, drop by North Miami Beach's Biscayne Commons, a 120,00 square feet shopping center adjacent to a mixed-use development and a university campus, only a 9-minute drive from NoMi!

Despite having fewer retail options compared to most malls, Biscayne Commons has earned a spot in the hearts of Miami shoppers for its familiar collection of national retailers and services, including key tenants like ULTA, Publix, and Petco!

The perfect merchandising mix, if I say so myself!

Biscayne Commons also boasts a delicious lineup of sit-down and quick-serve restaurants in the likes of Playa Bowls, Zuru Ramen Bar, Oishi Thai, and Talkin' Tacos, so if you need to grab a bite in between shopping, you won't have to go elsewhere!

3) Mall at 163rd Street 

1205 NE 163rd St, Miami, FL 33162

Welcome to the Mall at 163rd Street, formerly an open-air shopping center converted into an enclosed mall with an outdoor retail strip, a well-loved shopping destination that's 9 minutes away from North Miami.

Despite being mostly vacant save for a few boutiques and dining options, Mall at 163rd Street remains a favorite on our list, thanks to brand-name retailers like Home Depot, Marshalls, Ross, and Wal-Mart Supercenter that anchor the scene. 

There also seems to be a $150 million makeover for the Mall at 163rd Street in the pipeline since it recently sold for $46 million, and the new owners plan to boost business with new tenants, retail stores, sports courts, housing, offices, and a brand-new food court!

 So, don't count out this North Miami Beach mall just yet!

In the meantime, enjoy shopping all the essentials you need at this household name until the Mall at 163rd Street transforms into a rejuvenated mixed-use destination in the near(est) future!

Stay tuned!
