What is Pinecrest, Florida known for?

Pinecrest is a residential village in Miami-Dade known for one-acre minimum lots, mature tree canopy, A-rated public schools, and proximity to both downtown Miami and the Coral Gables business district. It attracts professional families seeking estate-scale privacy without the formality of Coral Gables or the density of Coconut Grove.

How much does a Pinecrest home cost?

Most family homes trade between $2 million and $5 million for renovated four- to five-bedroom builds on one-acre lots. New-construction modern estates and tennis-court compounds reach $8-15 million. Older ranch-style homes still appear under $2 million but typically sell for land value to be rebuilt.

Are Pinecrest schools good?

Yes. Pinecrest is anchored by Pinecrest Elementary, Palmetto Middle, and Miami Palmetto Senior High — all A-rated public schools — and several of Miami's top private schools sit within a 10-minute drive, including Gulliver Preparatory and Palmer Trinity. School quality is the dominant pricing driver across the village.
