SETTLE · RENTALS · EDITION #17 · NOVEMBER 2026
Oak-lined streets, big lots and schools first — five homes for families landing in the green, quiet side of Miami.
This edition is for relocating families searching for houses for rent in Pinecrest: the leafy village in southwest Miami where the decision starts with schools and continues with the lot, the pool and the quiet. I reviewed the corridor’s 65 rentals between $4,000 and $12,000, screened them for annual leases cleared to advertise, and kept the five below, from $4,500 to $11,000.
Every home below is active as of November 6, 2026, with price and availability verified.

$4,500 — Downtown Dadeland, Pinecrest
3 bd · 3 ba · 1,597 sq ft · $2.82/sq ft · Downtown Dadeland, at the edge of Pinecrest
The walk-in landing — a furnished three-bedroom with two main suites, the Metrorail next door and Dadeland Mall on foot
- Beds / baths: 3 bd · 3 ba
- Living area: 1,597 sq ft · $2.82/sq ft
- Home: Furnished condo in the seven-story Downtown Dadeland building, with three bedrooms including two main suites, a private balcony, and the building’s rooftop pool and fully equipped gym
- Pets: Yes — $250 pet fee; the listing notes one small dog, and I confirm your exact pet before you apply
- Parking: Garage parking — the listing describes up to three spaces for this home; I confirm the assigned count in writing before you sign
- Furnished: Yes — furnished (the listing also offers it unfurnished)
- Laundry: Full-size washer and dryer in the unit
- Dishwasher: Yes
- Lease: Annual rental, renewable; the listing does not state a minimum period beyond the annual term — I confirm the exact terms for you before you apply
- Available: Now (listed as available since October 9, 2026)
- Days on market: 30
- Good to know: The rent includes the association fee, pool, waste, water and yard items per the listing — a simpler monthly bill for a first year
Why I picked it for your landing: Every other home in this edition is a house you drive to. This one is the opposite landing: you arrive with suitcases, the furniture is already there, groceries and the mall are on foot, and the train next door takes you to Brickell without a car payment. For a family that wants a soft first year — or a professional who wants Pinecrest’s schools and trees without buying furniture on day one — this is the gentle start.
Ideal for: A relocating family landing light for the first year, or a health professional who wants the train, the mall and the groceries on foot.

$7,500 — Palmetto Homesites — The Remodel, Pinecrest
3 bd · 3.5 ba · 1,706 sq ft · $4.40/sq ft · Palmetto Homesites, Pinecrest
The done-for-you house — substantially remodeled, with a pool, a two-car garage and a curved driveway under the trees
- Beds / baths: 3 bd · 3.5 ba
- Living area: 1,706 sq ft · $4.40/sq ft
- Home: Single-family house in Palmetto Homesites, substantially remodeled, with a private pool (16×10), a circular driveway and mature Pinecrest trees around it
- Pets: Yes — the listing notes restrictions are possible, so I confirm your exact pet before you apply
- Parking: 2-car garage plus the circular driveway
- Furnished: No — unfurnished
- Laundry: Washer and dryer listed
- Dishwasher: Yes

- Available: November 1, 2026 — the home is currently tenant-occupied, and showings run on 24 hours’ notice
- Days on market: 29
- Listing courtesy of: United Realty Group Inc
Why I picked it for your landing: A remodel is the rarest thing in a rental: you get the new-house feeling — fresh surfaces, a working pool, a real garage — without a purchase. At 1,706 square feet it is the edition’s most manageable house: big enough for a family of four, small enough that the first year does not become a second job.
Ideal for: A family of three or four that wants the Pinecrest house life, finished and ready, without the biggest lot to maintain.

$7,500 — Suniland Estates, Pinecrest
5 bd · 3 ba · 2,670 sq ft · $2.81/sq ft · Suniland Estates, Pinecrest
The five-bedroom value — the edition’s biggest bedroom count at its second-lowest price per foot, already reduced twice
- Beds / baths: 5 bd · 3 ba
- Living area: 2,670 sq ft · $2.81/sq ft
- Home: Single-story house in Suniland Estates under mature oaks, with a 15×30 pool, a circular driveway and a wood-slat fenced yard
- Pets: Yes — $200 refundable pet fee, cats and dogs OK
- Parking: Circular driveway parking
- Furnished: No — unfurnished
- Laundry: The listing’s equipment fields are blank — I confirm the washer, dryer and dishwasher setup for you before you apply
- Dishwasher: Not stated in the listing — I confirm it for you before you apply
- Lease: Annual rental — 365-day minimum, one year with a renewal option
- Available: Now (listed as available since October 20, 2026)
- Days on market: 18
- Good to know: The rent has already come down from $8,600 to $7,500 — the five-bedroom space is priced to move
- Listing courtesy of: EXP Realty LLC
Why I picked it for your landing: Five real bedrooms change the math of a relocation: one room for parents, rooms for the kids, a guest room that doubles as the office — nobody works from the dining table. At $2.81 a foot with a pool, this is the edition’s space bargain, and the two reductions tell me the owner wants it rented, not listed.
Ideal for: A larger family, or a household that needs a real home office plus a guest room from day one.

4 bd · 3 ba · 3,163 sq ft · $2.53/sq ft · Rockdale Estates, Pinecrest

Why I picked it for your landing: This is the Pinecrest of the postcards: brick, porch, lawn, trees — a house with a front-of-house life, in the edition’s largest footprint at its lowest price per foot. The December 1 start is a feature, not a flaw, for a family timing the move to the school calendar: sign now, land once, land right.
Ideal for: A family moving on the school calendar — arrival in December, settled before the new term, porch included.

$11,000 — Palmetto Homesites — The Marble House, Pinecrest

Why I picked it for your landing: Some rentals you choose with a spreadsheet; this one you choose with your eyes. Marble that stays cool underfoot, a living room that opens straight to the pool, and a driveway that arrives like a small estate’s — it is the Pinecrest landing for a household that is done compromising and wants the good house first, questions later.
Ideal for: An executive family that wants the full Pinecrest house — pool, marble, lot and calm — from the first month.

Landing in Pinecrest
- The neighborhood (zone level): Pinecrest is a residential village of large lots and streets under mature oaks in southwest Miami: single-family homes, gardens, neighborhood parks like Pinecrest Gardens, and an everyday life of short drives and bicycles — the direct contrast to the towers and traffic of the east
- Schools (zone level): The zone is served by sought-after Miami-Dade public schools, including Pinecrest Elementary and Miami Palmetto Senior High, with private options in Pinecrest, South Miami and Coral Gables — I confirm the exact assignment for your address before you sign, because the assignment changes by street
- Commute: Dadeland and Dadeland Mall ±5–10 min · Metrorail at Dadeland toward Brickell and Downtown · University of Miami ±15 min · Coral Gables ±15 min · South Miami hospitals ±10 min · Miami International Airport (MIA) ±25 min
