According to their residents, the neighborhoods are two of the most peaceful suburban communities in West Miami, and that's saying a lot!

You see, while both are in a centric area, they're still a few minutes away from the downtown area, so you won't usually find a lot of ruckus within the vicinity. 

That's, of course, excluding traffic at Flagler Street, which is rampant at certain times of the day.

Another thing is that they're both surrounded by lush, small, and huge parks, so if you're looking to have a quick nature walk, go on a picnic with the family, or just read a novel under a tree, just walk a few minutes to the nearest park!
