Remember, most of South Florida is still under water restrictions imposed by the South Florida Water Management District. Whether you use municipal water or well water, the water is coming from the same water table - the restrictions apply to everyone! In Pinecrest the first citation costs $75.00, second $250.00 and third $500.00.
The regulations allow even-numberd homes to water from 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays; odd-numbered homes on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The annual Taste of Pinecrest, a fun family day to support our local schools will take place Sunday, March 8th from 11 am to 5 pm at the beautiful Pinecrest Gardens. This is a fun-filled day for the whole family featuring entertainment, tastings from area restaurants and a children's ride area. Parking and admission are free.
In Pinecrest in 2007 there were 150 listed properties sold with an average sale price of $1,454,808. In 2008 there were 136 listed properties sold with an average sale price of $1,116,094. As we all know, real estate is very local. In Miami-Dade County during the same time period there was a decline in sales price of 41%, while here in Pinecrest our decline was approximately 23%. Pinecrest continues to be a very desirable area making it a very good investment.
Effective January 1, 2009, Citizens will not insure any residential structure located within the "Wind-Borne Debris Region" (all of Miami-Dade County)with an insured value of the structure of $750,000.00 or more that does not have shutters or other "opening protectors" on all openings. A property will be in compliance if the shutters or opening protectors comply with the Florida Building Code in effect at the time of installation.
This means that if you buy a single family home where the structure is worth more the $750,000.00 be sure that it has approved window protection or you might have a difficult time finding wind insurance.
From our mayor's office:
"On Friday, January 30th your Council and I marked the official designation of the Village of Pinecrest as an official Tree City USA - installing a sign so designating us on Ludlam road near Old Cutler Road. The event celebrated the Village of Pinecrest's acceptance into the Tree City USA program, sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation This was not an award as much as a commitment the Village is making to continue to value its trees as an important component of residents' quality of life. Since the Village's founding, we have planted more than 12,000 trees in public spaces including swales, parks and the U.S. 1 median. Most of them were planted during an intensive six-year effort in which we invested $250,000 annually in new plantings."
