About Westchester

Directly west of Greater Miami you’ll find the community of Westchester, Florida. This southern Floridian area is designed to provide its residents with a safe and clean living environment, and easy access to nearby cities and all of the amenities they have to offer.

When it comes to educational options for families, Westchester has an abundance of choices. With eight public schools, four private schools, and two universities, Westchester is a great place to raise children. Directly to the west in University Park you’ll also find Florida International University. When it comes to higher education, living in this area gives you a lot of options!

Typical of a community in southern Florida, the climate here is tropical. That means that winters are warm and dry, while summers are hot and humid. You’ve probably heard that Florida is a popular state for retirement for this very reason. It’s also a very popular place for “snowbirds” who come here to avoid the cold winters of their home state. Who wouldn’t trade in their heavy winter jacket for a pair of sunglasses? It’s not likely that you’d have to twist anyone’s arm over that.

Of course, when thinking about Florida, one of the first things that pops into your mind is the iconic sandy beaches that run up and down the coast. Even though Westchester has no direct beach access, you’re just a short car ride away from some of the state’s most beautiful spots, including Miami Beach.

Conveniently located for those who need to travel for business or pleasure, Westchester is just southwest of Miami International Airport. Residents like the fact that they have easy access to an airport, as it makes their community more accessible to visitors and tourists alike.

Head further west from Westchester and you’ll find yourself deep in the Florida Everglades. If you’ve never been to the Everglades before, there are a few things you should know. First, it’s swampy! You’re going to need a boat if you expect to be able to really explore. The swampland continues all the way south to the Florida Bay. Second, watch out for wildlife! Some of the animals you may see are native to the Everglades, and may not live anywhere else in the United States. The American Alligator is among those native to the Everglades, so be sure to keep your eyes open and on the lookout for any potential danger as you explore. Third, remember to leave the habitat nicer than when you came. Preservation is important so that the Everglades will be available for future generations to explore.
