City overview
North Miami-Dade stretches from the Biscayne Boulevard shops and waterfront parks of North Miami and Miami Shores up through North Miami Beach, Skylake, Highland Lakes, Ives Estates and Ojus to the oceanfront Town of Golden Beach at the Broward County line. It is a practical, lived-in base for a South Florida trip: Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airports are both within easy reach, Brightline trains stop in Ojus, and the beaches, Oleta River State Park and Aventura's shopping are minutes away. The area is also one of Miami-Dade County's largest Orthodox Jewish and kosher hubs, with shuls, kosher restaurants, bakeries and markets concentrated along the NE 163rd and 167th Street corridors and in the neighbourhoods to the north, and a community eruv in North Miami Beach since 1977. Visitors can daven, shop and eat kosher every day of the week without heading to Miami Beach.
