Discover a fantastic opportunity to own a generously sized 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom single-family home at 16521 NW 17th Ct, Miami Gardens, FL 33054. Built in 1953, this property boasts an impressive 2,398 sqft of living space, making it one of the largest homes you’ll find for this price point in the area. With an estimated refinance payment of $3,383/mo, this home offers significant value in a dynamic Miami-Dade County community.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Space: At 2,398 sqft, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers a remarkably large footprint, providing ample room for creative renovation, additional bathrooms, or an open-concept design. This square footage is significantly higher than many comparable homes in the area, offering great potential for value addition.
• Built in 1953: This classic concrete block home provides a solid foundation, characteristic of its era.
• Prime Miami Gardens Location: Situated in the 33054 zip code, which is primarily associated with Opa-locka but also encompasses parts of Miami Gardens, this home benefits from:
  • Community Vibe: The neighborhood (often referred to as Bunche Park) is described by residents as quiet and safe, with friendly neighbors. It was initially built for WWII veterans, giving it a strong community feel.
  • Convenient Access: Enjoy easy commutes throughout Miami-Dade County and proximity to major attractions and amenities.
  • Local Amenities: There are nearby schools and businesses, and a community center is being built in the neighborhood.
• Strong Market Performance (for larger homes): While the 33054 zip code is currently a Seller’s Market, with median home prices in Opa-locka generally increasing, it’s essential to look at specifics. The median sold price for 3-bedroom homes in Miami Gardens (city-wide) increased by +8.6% year-over-year in May 2025. For 4-bedroom homes, the increase was an impressive +10.6%. While this property currently has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, its large square footage (2,398 sqft) suggests ample opportunity to add another bathroom or even a fourth bedroom, potentially capitalizing on these strong market trends for larger homes. The median home value for the 33054 zip code is around $291,700 (ACS data), making this property, at $415,000, well-positioned for its size.
• Nearby Schools: The home is assigned to Miami-Dade County Public Schools, including:
  • Bunche Park Elementary School (PK-5, 7/10 GreatSchools Rating)
  • North Dade Middle School (6-8, 3/10 GreatSchools Rating)
  • Miami Norland Senior High School (9-12, 4/10 GreatSchools Rating)
• Investment Potential: The generous square footage relative to the current bedroom/bathroom count offers significant upside for an investor or a homeowner willing to renovate and reconfigure the interior space. Recent comparable sales in the immediate vicinity (e.g., 16440 NW 17th Ct, a 3 bed/1 bath at 840 sqft, sold for $450,000 in Sep 2024; 16401 NW 18th Ave, a 3 bed/1 bath at 840 sqft, sold for $430,000 in Dec 2024) suggest strong demand and value in this area, especially for larger or updated properties.
• Demographics: The 33054 zip code has a diverse population, with a significant Black or African American presence. There’s a high concentration of young to middle-aged adults and single parents.

Important Note: Given the home’s age and the significant square footage with only one bathroom, it is highly likely that renovations will be needed, particularly to the bathroom(s) and potentially to add another. Buyers should factor this into their budget and conduct thorough inspections.

This property offers a unique blend of size, location, and potential, making it an excellent opportunity to create a truly personalized home in Miami Gardens.
