Florida City consistently records some of the highest per-capita violent and property crime rates in the state of Florida, and this residential-commercial sector experiences elevated safety concerns after dark. Visitors are advised to stay alert, secure vehicles, and avoid wandering residential backstreets on foot.”

About the area

Car-DependentSemi-Rural FringeHigh-Poverty Hub

Northwest Gateway West is a mixed residential and light commercial sector located in the northwestern portion of Florida City, just south of Homestead. It features older modest single-family homes, newer residential subdivisions, and strip retail that serves as a transitional zone between urban Miami-Dade and agricultural rural lands. Visitors mostly pass through en route to the Florida Keys or Everglades National Park.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
