When it comes to buying a home, there are numerous factors to consider. Location, size, amenities, and neighborhood dynamics all play a crucial role in the decision-making process. However, one often overlooked factor that significantly influences Miami neighborhood's property values is the quality of nearby schools. In certain Miami neighborhoods, this factor can have a profound impact on real estate prices and investment decisions.

Why Schools Matter

For many homebuyers, especially those with families or planning to start one, the quality of schools in the area is a top priority. High-performing schools not only provide quality education but also contribute to a sense of community and overall desirability of a neighborhood. As a result, homes located in areas with top-rated schools tend to command higher prices and experience greater appreciation over time.

The Link Between Schools and Property Values

Numerous studies have shown a clear correlation between the quality of schools and property values. Homes located within the boundaries of top-rated schools often sell at a premium compared to those in areas with lower-performing schools. This premium can range from a few percentage points to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the market and specific circumstances.

Elementary schools in the Dadeland area, such as Kenwood and True North Classical Academy, along with Leewood Elementary in The Falls, a southeast neighborhood in Kendall, are esteemed for their academic excellence. These schools significantly enhance the desirability of their respective neighborhoods.

Kenwood is located at 9300 SW 79th Ave, Miami, FL 33156, and a cornerstone of academic excellence. With its dedicated staff and vibrant learning environment, Kenwood Elementary is committed to nurturing students' growth and success. The school's rigorous curriculum and enriching extracurricular activities contribute to its consistent A-rating, reflecting its unwavering dedication to educational excellence.

True North Classical Academy in Dadeland at 7900 SW 86th St, Miami, FL 33143 is public charter school known for its rigorous classical education and character-building programs. With a focus on academic excellence, critical thinking, and citizenship, the school plays a vital role in shaping the Dadeland community.

Leewood K-8 Center: Situated at 10343 SW 124th St, Miami, FL 33176, Leewood K-8 Center is an A-rated school known for its strong curriculum and dedicated faculty. With a commitment to fostering academic achievement and character development, Leewood provides students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for future success.

These elementary schools exemplify the high standards of education and commitment to excellence that contribute to the desirability of their respective neighborhoods. Families seeking quality education for their children often prioritize living within the boundaries of these top-rated schools, which, in turn, positively impacts property values in the surrounding area.

Navigating School Ratings

When evaluating the impact of schools on property values, it's essential to consider various factors beyond just test scores and rankings. Factors such as school demographics, extracurricular programs, teacher-to-student ratios, and parent involvement can all contribute to the overall quality of education and, consequently, property values.

In Miami's competitive real estate market, schools play a significant role in shaping property values and buyer preferences. By understanding the link between schools and real estate, homebuyers and investors can make more informed decisions and capitalize on opportunities for long-term growth and stability. Whether you're a family searching for the perfect neighborhood or an investor looking to maximize returns, paying attention to schools can make all the difference in your real estate journey.

~ Willy and Gloria P.

Liz was the listing agent for a Miami property I called on and made an appointment to see . That's how it all started.I wasn't working with any agent and I told Liz I didn't want to commit to anyone. She stated she understood, nevertheless, she was relentless in keeping in touch with me. Finally, in one of her phone calls, Liz asked me if she was working hard to get my business ? I said yes, of course. Then she stated, "Imagine, what I am capable of doing in finding and negotiating for you in a tough and competitive Miami market?". That clinched it !

~ Alex Y.

As a business man, one of the things that impressed me about Liz is is her negotiation skills, patience and cool under pressure. She looks for a win-win even though at times we were just being one sided. Liz reminded us it's a sellers' market with properties selling quickly at or little above asking price in the area we wanted to buy.Whatever we weren't familiar with, Liz simplified it so we felt comfortable and understood the transaction.

"...One of her best qualities is her ability to stand back, listen to your needs, present you all the alternatives and let you make the original decisions. She is not assertive with her opinion but when she says you better listen because it will be in your own best interest..."

Ms Liz Keneally was a angel sent. I was going through personal hardship. And having a hard time not only selling The property but with the result of impending foreclosure. Which at the time was a very difficult time in my life. And she came along. And got a contract within a week. And I have nothing but gratitude towards her and her team. That treated me and my children like family.

Liz has been a wonderful real estate agent for us. She is an excellent communicator, and communicates in a very timely manner.

We have been extremely happy with the work that Liz has done for us. We would highly recommend her for anyone who is seeking to sell or buy property.
