Pinecrest is a village of about 18,000 residents, incorporated in 1996, about 11 miles southwest of downtown Miami. It sits between South Miami to the north, Palmetto Bay to the south and Coral Gables to the east, with US 1 along its western edge.

Pinecrest is known for larger lots than most of Miami. Ranch homes built on lots of about an acre in the 1950s and 1960s shaped its landscaped, low density character, and today those streets mix original homes with new construction estates.
