Pinecrest Real Estate Lavish landscaping, tree lined streets and diverse architectural styles make Pinecrest real estate a popular choice for many South Floridians

 

Pinecrest homes and condominiums are widely known as choice real estate

One of Miami's newer municipalities, the Village of Pinecrest was incorporated on March 12, 1996. Once full with nothing more than mangroves, today, Pinecrest lays claim to some of the finest real estate in South Florida. The family-friendly eight-square mile neighborhood is home to top-rated public schools, numerous parks, community events, and a variety of restaurants and boutiques.

Although recently incorporated, Pinecrest has played some noteworthy roles in South Florida's history. In the 1900's Henry Flagler used a portion of the area as a staging area during the construction of the Overseas Railroad to the Florida Keys. In the 1930's one of Miami's first premier attractions was built in Pinecrest?Parrot Jungle and Gardens. (In 2003 Parrot Jungle moved to Watson Island and is now called Jungle Island.)

The construction boom of Pinecrest took place in the 1950's and 1960's when Pinecrest real estate grew with the development of ranch-style homes on acre lots. As the popularity of Pinecrest grew throughout the 1980's and 1990's, residents Evelyn Langlieb Greer and Gary Matzner pursued the incorporation of the area.

This incorporation united the neighborhood through the development of community empowerment with the addition of a police force and regular community meetings. The development of Pinecrest real estate continues today with new luxury Pinecrest homes being built and with the recent construction of such public buildings as the Pinecrest Branch Library.

Approximately 19,454 residents live in Pinecrest real estate. Pinecrest homes and condominiums are the residences of choice for everyone from families to professionals to celebrities seeking luxury homes in a secluded environment.

Pinecrest residents enjoy such fantastic amenities as:

• Eight parks
• Pinecrest Gardens with a Splash 'N Play, Petting Zoo and Botanical Gardens
• Baseball, football and soccer leagues
• Village of Pinecrest police
• Pinecrest Branch Library
• Community events such as the Taste of Pinecrest and Pinecrest Gardens Fine Arts Festival
