Westchester & University Park Homes for Sale
I live here. This is the market I know street by street.
What it's really like
Westchester and University Park sit in the middle of Miami-Dade, bordering West Miami, Coral Gables, Fontainebleau, and Kendall. Drive through and you'll notice a mix of homes built in the 1950s and '60s alongside the occasional new build. It's a largely Hispanic, family-oriented community with great county parks, bowling alleys, and no shortage of places to eat.
What only a local knows
Ask anyone who grew up here and they'll point you to Historic Bird Road, Frankie's Pizza for a late-night slice, Charlie's Ice Cream, and Arbetter's Hot Dogs — yes, it's a greasy spoon, and yes, it's worth it.
Who it's right for
Families and anyone who wants a suburban feel while staying close to Coral Gables, Kendall, and Pinecrest. It's not the neighborhood for nightlife — if you're looking for bars and a late scene, I'll point you toward Brickell or Coconut Grove instead. This is a family neighborhood, plain and simple.

Buying or selling a home in Westchester
If you're searching for homes for sale in Westchester, Miami, or nearby University Park, you're looking at the neighborhood I live in. It's known for 3–4 bedroom single-family homes, established streets, and easy access to the Palmetto Expressway, the Turnpike, FIU, and the airport.
Buying in Westchester means knowing which blocks hold value and which homes need work. I check roof age, additions and permits, and insurance costs before you commit, and I help you write offers that compete without overpaying.

FAQ
Questions I get asked here most
A real story from this market
I recently worked with a seller whose parent had passed away, leaving behind a Westchester home. He handed me the keys and told me to handle everything — clear out the contents, prepare the home for sale, and sell it. It was a fixer-upper, but we priced it right and sold it within 30 days for $600,000 to a financed buyer.
That's the kind of transaction I take real pride in — being trusted to handle the whole thing, start to finish, during a hard time for the family.
