South Miami is a small city on the south side of Coral Gables, organized around Sunset Drive and the South Miami Metrorail station. The commercial core — shops and restaurants along Sunset Drive and the downtown blocks — is walkable in a way the interior of Pinecrest is not. Housing around that core mixes single-family homes on the side streets with some townhomes and smaller condominiums nearer the station and the shopping streets. It suits buyers who want a village-scale downtown and a Metrorail stop without giving up a house nearby. It is not the Brickell tower district, and it is not the larger-lot streets of Pinecrest a little farther south.
