Property tax · $1,509/mo 0.81% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Miami-Dade County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $2,398/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Pinecrest is a village in Miami-Dade County, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run far above the county's, poverty is rare, and an unusually large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are warm and nearly snowless, summers are hot, and the year is a wet one.
Work. Residents work mostly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, and in shops. Within the village itself, some of the largest workplaces are grocery stores, among them Publix Super Markets, Milams Market and Trader Joe's. A good number of people work from home, and the commute for the rest is of a typical length.
Things to do. A short drive brings you to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a botanical garden, and to Zoo Miami. Biscayne Bay is also a short drive away for time near the water. Biscayne National Park is a longer drive, for a day out on the coast.
