Live in Palm Springs

This is Hialeah's Palm Springs, not the California city and not Palm Springs North, north of Miami Lakes. The City's 2050 Master Plan draws the line, as Districts 3, 5 and 6 of its Palm Springs and Amelia area, and numbers its districts without naming them. The name is this site's, from the place OpenStreetMap marks just north of W 53rd Street and from the Palm Springs plats, which with Palm Springs Villas hold 7,973 of the 17,858 residents the 2020 census counted, fewer than half. Another 1,053 live on a plat called Westhaven Heights, which is not the Westhaven Heights guide. No record says where residents think Palm Springs ends.

Most of it was built in one decade. The City's zoning layer dates 3,214 of the 3,617 single-family parcels to the 1950s, when Hialeah grew from 19,676 people to 66,972, and all 556 townhouse parcels to the 1970s. Only 3.6% of the parcel acres are industrial. The new building is at the northern tip: three apartment buildings with 464 units, finished from 2020 to 2022 on W 4th Avenue below the Gratigny Parkway, where the master plan credits "the development at the Amelia District" with a new gateway. Two came after 2020, so the census misses their tenants.

Check which government the house is in. Between about W 4th and W 10th Avenue and W 56th and W 64th Street, roughly 141 acres of District 5 are unincorporated Miami-Dade County, labeled so on the plan's map and drawn so on the City's municipal boundary layer. Its 1,864 residents in 2020 are not in Hialeah or in this guide, and a parcel there pays the County's unincorporated, fire and library levies in place of the City's 6.3018 mills.

The map is mostly dry, and the reference point is not. On the City's flood layer 2,980 residents, 16.7%, live in a FEMA special flood hazard area, all in zone AH, shallow ponding, which covers 28.2% of the area. The point itself is AH, base flood elevation 8 feet on the 2009 maps' older NGVD29 datum, not comparable with a newer map. Flood here is rain: no part is in a storm surge evacuation zone, and no record says how any street fared in Irma or the June 2024 rains. The City's CRS class 7 takes 15% off a flood premium in the zone and 5% outside, and its 50% rule brings a house up to new-construction standards, elevation included, once work within five years reaches half its market value. Flood cover is a separate policy, and from 1 January 2027 every Citizens policy with wind cover must carry one.

No price follows the line. The point and 10,156 residents are in ZIP code 33012, whose Zillow value was $384,711 in August 2026, down 0.8% on the year; 4,711 are in 33013, at $566,422. Every City of Hialeah address pays 18.6468 mills for 2025, with no County fire or library levy because the City runs both, so a homestead at the 33012 figure owes about $6,404 a year on the base exemptions and a landlord about $7,174. Save Our Homes caps a homestead's assessed value at 3% a year and resets on sale, so the seller's bill understates yours; portability can carry an earlier Florida homestead's benefit. Garbage is $36.50 a month on the City utility account; whether a City assessment also sits on the tax bill was not checked. The arithmetic is on the Hialeah page.
