Neighborhood
Located just west of Downtown Miami, Little Havana is the epicenter of Cuban culture in Miami. Little Havana, named after Cuba’s capital city, is best known for Calle Ocho, the neighborhood’s main commercial thoroughfare brimming with restaurants, specialty shops, art galleries, and dance halls in colorful buildings in addition to a Latin Walk of Fame.
The Little Havana community comes together for an array of annual events, including the popular Calle Ocho Festival, Viernes Culturales/Cultural Fridays, Salsero Sundays, and the Miami Beer Festival at Marlins Park. Marlins Park, home of the MLB Miami Marlins, is also located in the eastern portion of the neighborhood.
Outside of Calle Ocho and Marlins Park, Little Havana is largely residential, boasting a variety of apartments and houses available for rent. The neighborhood is an attractive option for many commuters, offering close proximity to Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Wynwood, and Miami Beach.
