North Miami is a city in northeastern Miami-Dade County, Florida, situated along Biscayne Boulevard roughly 10 miles north of downtown Miami and just west of North Miami Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. Home to roughly 60,000 residents, it is one of the region's most culturally and ethnically diverse communities, with large Haitian American and Caribbean populations alongside many other communities from Latin America and beyond. The city is a cultural and educational anchor for the northern part of the county. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) North Miami is nationally recognized for its contemporary exhibitions and community programs, and Florida International University's Biscayne Bay campus sits within the city, alongside nearby Barry University and Miami Dade College. This institutional presence gives North Miami a youthful, creative energy distinct from the beachfront resort towns to the east. North Miami's neighborhoods span a wide range. Keystone Point is a guard-gated waterfront enclave of single-family homes and estates near Arch Creek, while other areas offer established mid-century houses, apartments, and condominiums along Biscayne Boulevard and West Dixie Highway. The eastern edge of the city borders Oleta River State Park, Florida's largest urban park, and Arch Creek Park preserves a natural tropical hammock around a creek once crossed by a natural limestone bridge. Public schools fall under Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Transportation is a strength: Biscayne Boulevard carries a 24-hour bus route connecting Aventura to downtown Miami, Interstate 95 runs nearby, and the Golden Glades Transit Center anchors regional connections. That blend of diversity, cultural institutions, and access keeps North Miami a distinctive and practical choice within northeastern Miami-Dade.
