Working on Richmond Heights' Housing Stock
Richmond Heights was founded in 1949, when the first 26 families bought lots in the newly developed community, which makes it some of the oldest housing stock in any area we serve, older than the 1970s-and-newer construction common in cities like Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, or South Miami Heights. Homes from that era often have original plaster or early drywall, electrical that may need updating during a remodel, and in a lot of cases original terrazzo floors underneath later flooring. We treat a Richmond Heights job differently from the start rather than assuming newer-home construction.
Areas We Work In and Around Richmond Heights
The historic core of Richmond Heights sits along Monroe Street, bounded by Carver Drive to the north and Graham Drive to the south, where the neighborhood's original 1949 and 1950 homes still stand near the Richmond Heights Pioneers Monument honoring the first 26 families. We regularly work throughout that core and the surrounding streets, which sit near:
- Sgt. Joseph Delancy Park
- South Miami Heights
- West Perrine
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve Richmond Heights, FL?
Yes. Richmond Heights is one of the areas we work in regularly, in unincorporated Miami-Dade County near South Miami Heights and West Perrine.
What makes Richmond Heights historically significant?
Richmond Heights was built in 1949 and 1950 as one of the first private developments in Miami-Dade County built for Black World War II veterans and their families, at a time when housing options were severely limited by segregation. The first 26 pioneering families bought lots in 1949, and the neighborhood was designated a Miami-Dade historic district in 2016.
How old are most of the homes in Richmond Heights?
Many of the original homes date to the neighborhood's founding in 1949 and 1950, which makes them some of the oldest housing stock in any area we serve. That age means more original electrical, plumbing, and terrazzo flooring than in the newer construction we see in cities like Cutler Bay or Palmetto Bay.
Do older homes in Richmond Heights need different painting or remodeling approaches?
Often, yes. A home built in 1949 or 1950 usually has original plaster or early drywall, older electrical that may need updating during a remodel, and in many cases original terrazzo floors under later flooring. We factor that in before quoting rather than assuming it's built like a 1980s or 1990s home.
Are there any historic district guidelines to be aware of for exterior work?
Richmond Heights was designated a Miami-Dade County historic district in 2016. Depending on your specific property and the scope of exterior work, that designation can affect what's allowed. We can help you figure out whether your project needs anything beyond a standard permit.
