Where is Opa-locka, Florida?

Opa-locka is a small city in north central Miami-Dade County, about a dozen miles north of downtown Miami, with Miami Gardens to the north, Hialeah to the west and Opa-locka Executive Airport beside its western streets. NW 27th Avenue and Opa-locka Boulevard run through it, Tri-Rail stops at the Opa-locka station, and the Palmetto Expressway and Interstate 95 are a few minutes away. The city keeps its legal name with a hyphen, while the MLS files it as Opa-Locka.

Is every Opa-locka address inside the City of Opa-locka?

No. The Opa-locka mailing address and the 33054 ZIP code reach past the city line, so some listings filed as Opa-locka sit in Miami Gardens or in unincorporated Miami-Dade; recent sales under the Opa-locka name include houses in Carol City and Bunche Park plats, which are Miami Gardens neighborhoods. Taxes, permits, code enforcement and the rules on rentals follow the municipality on the tax record, not the mailing address, so we confirm it for every home before we compare prices.

How much does a home in Opa-locka cost?

Prices in Opa-locka follow condition and income more than location, so start with the live market table on this page. Original postwar houses that need work sit at the low end, renovated three and four bedroom houses with new roofs and impact windows fill the middle, and duplexes, fourplexes and small apartment buildings are priced on their rents. The table shows median list and sold prices refreshed daily from the MLS, and the price reduced, new listings and income property pages show what is moving.

What should I check before buying an older house in Opa-locka?

Start with the permits and the roof. Most Opa-locka houses date from the late forties and fifties, so ask for the roof age and permit, the window and shutter type, the electrical panel and the plumbing, and compare the bedroom count in the listing with the county record, because converted garages and added rooms are common. Order a municipal lien search for open permits and code cases, confirm the flood zone, which reads X on most listings but AE on some streets, and if the house is one of the early ones, ask whether it is a designated historic site.

Can I buy a duplex or a small apartment building in Opa-locka?

Yes, income property is a large share of what is listed here: duplexes and fourplexes on the east side and in Curtiss Park, a boarding house, and apartment buildings of six units and more. Many come with tenants on month to month terms or with housing assistance contracts. Before you offer, read the leases and the rent roll, confirm that each unit is permitted and separately metered where the listing says so, and check the zoning, because a listing that describes room to add units still needs the city's approval.

What is my Opa-locka home worth?

Your home is worth what buyers pay for the sales that truly match it, so we start from closed sales on your street and in your plat, adjusted for the roof, the windows, the renovation, the lot and the permitted bedroom count, and for an income property from the rents in place and the condition of each unit. Request Your Property Valuation for that first number, ask for a full comparative market analysis when you are ready to list, and ask about a cash offer if a fast sale as is suits you better. You can also see if we already have your buyer before you list.

Do you already have buyers looking for homes in Opa-locka?

BreakThru Realty works with hundreds of prequalified buyers searching for properties. We keep each buyer's requirements on file: the neighborhoods, the price range, the property type and the features they are waiting for. Whether one of them fits your home is something a licensed broker checks for your property specifically, before the call. Your home may be the one a buyer is waiting to find; we confirm it before we call it a match, and a potential match is a conversation, not an offer.

Living in Opa-locka

Opa-locka sits in north central Miami-Dade County, with Miami Gardens to the north, Hialeah to the west and unincorporated Miami-Dade on its other sides. Glenn Curtiss, who also developed Hialeah and Miami Springs, founded it during the land boom of the twenties, and it remains a small city with its own government, police department and permits. Opa-locka Executive Airport, a county airport for business and private aviation that is also home to a Coast Guard air station, lies to the west of the residential streets, and an industrial district of warehouses and workshops spreads around it. Tri-Rail stops at the Opa-locka station, NW 27th Avenue and Opa-locka Boulevard carry most local traffic, and the Palmetto Expressway, Interstate 95 and Hard Rock Stadium are a short drive away; downtown Miami and Miami International Airport are each about twenty five minutes off in ordinary traffic. Recent listings name Nathan B. Young, Dr. Robert B. Ingram and Rainbow Park elementary schools, North Dade Middle and Miami Central Senior High among others; assignments change, so confirm the school for the exact address.

Moorish Revival Landmarks and the Arabian Nights Streets

Curtiss gave Opa-locka a story to build on. Its first public buildings were designed in the Moorish Revival style, with domes, minarets, horseshoe arches and tiled details, and the domed city hall on Sharazad Boulevard is the one most visitors know. The street names keep the theme: Ali Baba Avenue, Sharazad Boulevard, Harem Avenue, Kasim Street, Sharar Avenue and Jann Avenue in the residential grid, and Cairo Lane, Alexandria Drive and Port Said Road among the industrial blocks. A group of the original buildings is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Most of the city was built later, after the Second World War, so a Moorish house is the exception on a typical street rather than the rule. A buyer who wants one of the early houses, or plans exterior changes to an old building, should ask the city whether the property is a designated historic site before planning any work, and budget for the care an old roof, old plaster and original windows need.

Block Houses, Duplexes and Small Apartment Buildings

Most homes for sale in Opa-locka are single story concrete block houses built from the late forties through the fifties, with a few that survive from the twenties and thirties and an occasional new house on an infill lot. They are compact two to five bedroom homes on modest lots, usually fenced, with no homeowners association, and nearly all connect to public sewer. That age decides what a buyer checks first: the roof and its permit, impact windows or shutters, the electrical panel, the plumbing, and whether an added bedroom, an enclosed garage or a room with its own entrance was permitted. The rest of the market is income property: duplexes and fourplexes on streets such as Ali Baba Avenue, Washington Avenue, Lincoln Avenue and Burlington Street, many with separate electric and water meters, and small apartment buildings of six units and more. Several listings offer seller financing, and bank owned homes and short sales appear among them, each with its own terms and timeline. Order a municipal lien search early on any older Opa-locka property, because open permits and code cases stay with the parcel.

Neighborhoods

Opa-locka is small enough that buyers search by street and plat more than by named neighborhood. In the middle of the city, the Original Opa-locka Plat, filed as Plat No 1, holds the streets around Sharazad Boulevard: Jann Avenue, Sharar Avenue, Kasim Street and Seaman Avenue, with houses from the twenties through the fifties. Just south, the Plat No 3 blocks on Burlington, Rutland and Superior Streets hold more postwar houses and a new home that its listing places in the downtown. On the east side, Magnolia Gardens and the Magnolia subdivision beside it mix small houses from around 1950 on Rutland Street and Service Road with duplexes and fourplexes on Ali Baba, Washington and Lincoln Avenues. On the west side toward the airport, Curtiss Park holds fifties houses on Harem and Jann Avenues and duplexes on Curtiss Drive. The Original Opa-locka Plat, Magnolia Gardens and Curtiss Park each have a page with live listings and recent sales; the house, income property and price pages below cover the whole city.

Selling a Home in Opa-locka

Your Opa-locka buyer may already be looking. BreakThru Realty works with hundreds of prequalified buyers searching for properties. Each one tells us the areas, the price range, the property type and the features they want, and we keep that on file. Before you list, a broker checks your home against those requests and prices it from recent MLS sales near it, and if no buyer on file fits, the plan reaches the rest of the market. Your Opa-locka buyer may already be looking. BreakThru Realty works with hundreds of prequalified buyers searching for properties, and before you list, a broker checks your property against the requirements of the buyers already working with us: the bedrooms, a fenced yard, room for parking, a second unit with its own entrance, the rent a duplex or fourplex brings in, and the budget, then reaches out to the buyers it fits. Your home may be the one a buyer is waiting to find. If no buyer on file fits, the plan that reaches the rest of the market starts with the MLS listing that reaches cooperating agents, priced from the closed sales that match your street, your updates and your permitted bedroom count, or for an income property from the rents in place and the leases that convey. Then the strategy follows your objectives: the price you need, the date you need to move and whether the tenants stay. Request Your Property Valuation for a first number from matched sales, ask for a full comparative market analysis when you are ready to list, or ask about a cash offer if a fast sale as is suits you better.

Investing in Opa-locka

Investors in Opa-locka usually buy one of three things. The first is a duplex, fourplex or small apartment building with tenants in place, where the listings themselves show what to check: tenants on month to month terms, rents the sellers describe as below the market, and leases paid in part through a housing assistance contract, which carries its own inspection and rent approval by the housing agency. Ask for the rent roll, the leases, the meter setup and the last year of expenses, and confirm every unit is permitted. The second is a postwar house to renovate and lease by the year or resell, where the roof, the windows and the permit history decide the budget. The third is land and industrial property around the airport, which is priced on zoning and access rather than on rent and is analyzed separately from homes. Property taxes reset after a sale and insurance turns on the roof and the windows, so model both before you rely on a return. Get Your Investment Property Analysis and we model the rent from current Opa-locka leases and the resale from matched closed sales before you offer.
