South Miami is a small municipality of approximately two square miles in Miami-Dade County, Florida, tucked between the vastness of Kendall and the confines of Coral Gables. Once known as “Larkins,” one of the earliest settlements in the county, the community generates a feeling of permanence. The city of South Miami has grown from a small farming community to a vibrant suburb with quiet neighborhoods and a popular shopping and restaurant district.

Although South Miami is primarily a residential area with a population of some 12,000 people, its commercial hub at the intersection of Sunset Drive and Red Road, anchored by a beautiful shopping mall, is always alive with activity . The city of South Miami is experiencing tremendous growth and redevelopment, as people have recognized the unique “small-town” atmosphere of the “City of Pleasant Living”.
