Why Doral Estates stands out
Much of Doral’s newer housing is built tight: townhomes, condos and single-family homes on small lots. The Doral Estates community goes the other way. Homes sit on larger lots with room for pools, gardens and outdoor living, and the streets are quiet and residential. Because the neighborhood is established, the landscaping is mature and the community has a settled feel that newer developments take years to build.
Security and privacy
Doral Estates is a private community with controlled access and 24-hour security. For families, for owners who travel and for anyone who values privacy, that matters, and it is one of the main reasons buyers choose this community over open neighborhoods nearby.

If you play golf, the location is hard to beat. Doral Estates is minutes from the Doral golf courses, with the restaurants and amenities around Trump National Doral close by. At the same time, you are near CityPlace Doral and Downtown Doral, major roads like the Palmetto Expressway and the Florida Turnpike, and Miami International Airport.

What to check before you buy
Ask for the HOA documents and what the fee covers, confirm the flood zone and insurance costs, and check the age of the roof and systems on older homes. Estimate property taxes on the purchase price, and if it will be your primary residence, apply for the homestead exemption in Miami-Dade.
