ShulMap maps 5 Orthodox neighborhoods in Miami: Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Surfside, Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach. Together they have 26 shuls on the map, plus 29 kosher stores and restaurants, 11 day schools and 5 mikvaos. Each has its own page with a walkable shul map.
Miami Beach has the most on ShulMap, with 7 mapped, followed by North Miami Beach (6) and Surfside (6). Shul count is a rough guide to community size, not to fit — a smaller community with a daily minyan near housing you can afford may suit a family better than a bigger one.
By the US Census median home value for each community's ZIP (2020–2024), North Miami Beach ($286,200) is the most affordable in Miami, followed by Sunny Isles Beach ($397,500) and Aventura ($501,000), and Surfside ($961,800) the most expensive. These are ZIP-wide figures as valued by owners — asking prices usually run higher, and each relocation guide says which sections cost what.
ShulMap has mikvaos mapped in Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Surfside, Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach. Day schools are mapped in Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach. A community without one on the map may still have one we have not added yet, and families commonly use institutions in a neighboring community.
It differs community by community, and ShulMap never infers one. Each community page carries its own eruv detail with the source and the date it was last checked. Always confirm with your local rav or the eruv hotline before carrying on Shabbos.
