young families looking to live in close proximity to an urban environment less the
aggravation of city living. 5220 Biscayne Boulevard will provide these
individuals with an opportunity to leave behind countless hours of commuting.
Aside from possessing a formidable location from a marketing standpoint, this
development is also part of the exciting transformation of one of Miami's most
important thoroughfares.
