Pinecrest, Fl. Best place to live in south Florida User Rating 5 rating By Anonymous ( Jan 21, 2024) Beautiful parks, homes and super friendly people. Plenty of shops dining and super markets. Low density and lots of green areas, charming homes and estates on acre lots, close to everything! ...Read More Read Less
Pinecrest is good for your soul User Rating 5 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 11, 2022) Pinecrest is conveniently located close to all of Miami’s great amenities. Beaches, shopping, downtown attractions, the Florida Keys, golf courses, parks, supermarkets, dining , and walking trails. The people are super family oriented.

Come For The Sun, Stay For The Community User Rating 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) As a suburb of Miami, which is otherwise littered with a variety of people and questionable happenings, Pinecrest is a welcomed departure. The people are close-knit, and the community is inclusive. Kids can play out in the yard with no orioles, people frequently walk their dogs, ...Read More and can often be seen catching up with a neighbor down the road.

The homes are beautiful, but it comes at a high cost and high taxes. Traffic isn’t terrible, which is an. Ice trade off from the otherwise traffic lattened Miami area. The police here are great, they really care about the community and are quick to respond when called on. Never hesitate to help out locals, which I think adds to the safety of the community overall.

My only concern is outside the community, crime is a BIG issue, which rarely finds us in Pinecrest, but not unheard of. There are also the issues of Hurricanes. The season lasts from about May/June to November/December. Never a guarantee that we’ll be hit, but it’s something to stay aware of. Read Less
