The original Miami Lakes development, east of the Palmetto Expressway, was master planned by Lester Collins with curving tree-shaded roadways and numerous curving lakes which are unusual compared to most surrounding areas with treeless streets on a square grid and rectangular lakes.

A significant portion of Miami Lakes is still owned by the developers, mostly apartment buildings, shopping centers, office buildings and still undeveloped land.
