Live in Mango Hill

The name belongs to a plat, and the plat is a minority. The City of Hialeah keeps no map of neighborhoods. Its Hialeah 2050 Master Plan divides the city into areas and numbered districts, and this guide is the west half of District 4 in the area the plan calls North of Okeechobee, split on W 8th Avenue where the plan splits it: 317 acres between W 12th and W 8th Avenues, from W 29th Street, the José Martí Boulevard, north to W 44th Place. The 2020 census counted 9,366 residents in 3,097 homes inside that line. The Mango Hill plat and its replat hold 4,099 of them, the largest share and the reason for the name; West Hialeah Heights holds 1,447 and Villas de las Palmas 633. Nothing read here says where residents think Mango Hill ends, and this guide does not claim to know.

Two waves of building, thirty years apart. Hialeah grew from 3,958 people in 1940 to 66,972 in 1960, and the older half of the grid dates from then: on the City's zoning layer the West Hialeah Heights parcels have a median year built of 1960, Sel-Clar Manors 1957 and Kraftlawn 1961, mostly detached houses on lots of about 7,100 square feet. The other half came later. The Mango Hill plat's homes date from 1977 to 1997, with a median of 1979, its replat's from 1982 to 1991, and Treelane and Natalie Estates from 1986 and 1987. Those 497 parcels are coded as single-family cluster homes, on lots with a median of about 3,100 square feet. The newest large building is Villas de las Palmas, 226 units finished in 2018, and none of the land is designated industrial. Whether a cluster plat has an association, and what it charges, was not looked up for this guide.

More than half the residents live in a mapped flood zone. On the City's flood layer, which matches FEMA's effective map, 5,106 residents, 54.5%, live in zone AH, FEMA's designation for shallow flooding, which covers 61.6% of the area; the rest is zone X, and so is the reference point. Those maps took effect on 11 September 2009 and give elevations on the older NGVD29 datum, so compare a base flood elevation here only with another Hialeah figure. The water here is rain: the City names Irene in 1999 and the No-Name Storm of 2000 as floods that left many areas under water for extended periods, and no record read says how any street in Mango Hill fared. A homeowners policy does not cover flood; the City's Class 7 rating takes 15% off a flood policy in zone AH and 5% outside it, and the City's substantial improvement rule is 50% of a building's value over five years.

Schools and buses. Miami-Dade County Public Schools assigns by address. The point is zoned for Meadowlane Elementary, inside the line on W 8th Avenue and graded A for three years running, then Palm Springs Middle and Hialeah Senior High; but 3,452 residents are zoned for Mae M. Walters Elementary, also A, and 4,178 for Henry H. Filer Middle, whose boundary the School Board redrew for 2026-27. The stop at W 12th Avenue and W 37th Street has Metrobus 183 and the City's Flamingo circulator; the only service every 15 minutes is Metrorail at Okeechobee Station, 1.75 km south in a straight line.

No price index follows the line. Every resident is in ZIP code 33012, whose Zillow value was $384,711 in August 2026, down 0.8% on the year, a figure for 70,260 people. Every City of Hialeah address paid 18.6468 mills for 2025, with no County fire or library levy because the City runs both, so a homestead at the ZIP figure owes about $6,404 a year on the base exemptions and a landlord about $7,174. Save Our Homes holds a homestead's assessed value to 3% a year or inflation and ends with a sale, so the seller's bill understates yours. Garbage is a $36.50 monthly charge on the City utility account; whether any City assessment also sits on the tax bill was not checked. The arithmetic is on the Hialeah page.
