The Village of El Portal is a small village tucked away in a small forest. The neighborhood is roughly bounded by West Little River to the south, Miami Shores to the north and east, and Miami to the west. Mediterranean inspired architecture hidden by the thick greenery and tall oak and poinsettia trees, making it one of Miami’s most undetectable – but beautiful – neighborhoods. A tiny bit isolated from from the hustle and bustle, it’s a quick 2-minute ride to food and entertainment you will find in Miami Shores and West Little River. If you like being incognito, and want to be surrounded by nature, El Portal awaits.

Walking in the neighborhood is safe and enjoyable. It is a few minutes walk to Miami Shores with its cafes and restaurants to the north and the Citadel Food Hall to the south. Parking is not an issue and most restaurants have parking available in the alleys behind them. We always recommend renting a car. UBER and LYFT are always just 5 minutes away.
