Neighborhood
Under the oak canopy: a quiet block in a loud city
How Glenvar Heights has stayed leafy, low, and unmistakably itself while Miami sprawled around it.
Glenvar Heights · Miami-Dade · Florida
A small neighborhood
with a long memory.
Stories, events, and everyday wisdom from the people who live between the oaks of Glenvar Heights.
Letter from the editors
We started Our Glenvar Heights as a quiet way to keep track of the place we call home — the new bakery on Bird Road, the kids' baseball season, the storm that took the old gumbo limbo on 80th. If you live here, this is your paper too.
Maria & Daniel — neighbors, since 2014
