Northeast 181st St, Pickwick

Miami Gardens Drive is in the middle of Miami-Dade County. It is close to highways, malls and businesses. It can be a bit noisy due to the popularity of the area. The people seem to be friendly enough and there is a sense of community. This street allows easy access to I-95 so you can head quickly down to the keys or north to Ft. Lauderdale. This area is not as expensive as other parts of Miami-Dade.

West of I-95, Miami Gardens Dr (or 183rd St), is a busy stretch lined by heavy industrial zoning. A large Publix warehouse and distribution center for South Florida is located there, as well as many other large warehouses. Traffic can be busy at times, and the street itself is very noisy all the way west to 441 (or State Rd 7). The rest of Miami Gardens Dr is a mixture of affordable residential zones combined with light retail all the way to I-75. Raccoons and possums can be seen crossing the street at night. A large exotic nightclub (Tootsies Cabaret) is located at the corner of 441 and 183rd St.
