Pinecrest Neighborhoods: Where to Live and What Each Area Is Like

Pinecrest is relatively uniform in character but has distinct areas with different price points and feels. Here is how the city breaks down.

North Pinecrest - Premium Location

The northern part of Pinecrest closest to Coral Gables and US-1 is the most sought-after. Proximity to Coral Gables amenities, the best access to the main commuter corridors, and some of the most beautiful tree-canopied streets in the city. Properties here command a premium - expect $1.5M-$4M+ for single-family. The streets in this section have some of the oldest and largest canopy trees.

Central Pinecrest

The heart of the city with a mix of original Florida ranches, rebuilt custom homes, and transitional properties being renovated. Good school zones throughout. Price range $1.2M-$2.5M. The most active part of the resale market because there is more inventory here.

South Pinecrest - Larger Lots

As you move south, lot sizes tend to increase and the neighborhood feels more spread out. Some of Pinecrest’s largest estate lots are in the southern section. Prices can be lower than north Pinecrest for the same square footage because the location is slightly less prime, but the lot sizes compensate. Range $1.1M-$3M+.

Adjacent to Palmetto Bay

The southern edge of Pinecrest blends with Palmetto Bay, which is a similar family-oriented suburb at slightly lower prices. Buyers who want Pinecrest character without Pinecrest prices sometimes find what they are looking for in the Palmetto Bay area just south.
