Live in Sun-Tan Village

This is the Hialeah of 1950, still standing. The City's parcel records give a year for 1,518 of the residential lots here, and 1,260 of them, 83%, were built in the 1940s or 1950s; the median is 1950. 1,286 parcels are single-family houses and 239 hold two to nine units. A local photo history dates an advertisement for Sun Deck homes in the Sun-Tan Village section to 1948 to 1950, sold by the Vellanti family's company, which built many houses in Hialeah.

The name is a plat's, and the line is the City's plan. Hialeah keeps no map of neighborhoods; its 2050 Master Plan draws numbered districts on streets, and this guide is Downtown and Southeast District 2, 499 acres from East 4th Avenue to the city line between East 9th and East 21st Streets. The census counted 6,446 residents in 1,933 homes there in 2020, and the Sun-Tan Village plats hold 2,478 of them, fewer than half. The local history's own description runs south to Hialeah Drive, into Essex Village, where 815 more people live on Sun-Tan Village plats. No source says where residents think the name ends.

The east edge is industrial. The City's zoning gives 18% of parcel acres here to industry, 68 of 378, all of it east of about East 10th Avenue: acres of parcels by designation, not jobs. In 2015 those warehouse blocks became the Leah Arts District, after a City councilman proposed an Artist Live/Work overlay; street artists painted murals on warehouse walls around East 15th Street and East 10th Avenue, and a block party unveiled it that summer. Eight people lived inside the overlay in 2020. Whether anyone still organizes it was not found in a source read for this guide.

Most of it is off the flood map. On the City's copy of FEMA's map, 39% of the area and 2,010 residents, 31%, are in zone AH, the shallow-ponding zone; the rest, including the reference point, are in zone X. The maps took effect in 2009 and state elevations in the older NGVD29 datum, so a Hialeah base flood elevation is not comparable with another city's. The City's Community Rating System class 7 takes 15% off a flood policy in the zone and 5% outside it, and flood cover is separate from a homeowners policy. Only 79 residents are in a hurricane evacuation zone. No record read here says how any street fared in a particular storm.

No price index follows the line. The point is in ZIP code 33010, whose Zillow value was $532,048 in August 2026, up 1.7% on the year; 1,959 residents are in 33013, at $566,422. Every address in the city pays 18.6468 mills for 2025, with no County fire or library levy because the City runs both, so a homestead at the 33010 figure owes about $9,151 a year and a landlord about $9,921. Save Our Homes caps a homestead's assessed value at 3% a year and resets on a sale, so the seller's bill understates yours; portability can carry your own benefit from a previous Florida homestead. Garbage is $36.50 a month 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.
