A low-rise cooperative complex built in 1964, Mar-Len Gardens is a three-story, garden-style development oriented to older adults. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom floorplans with features such as eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, multiple entry levels, and a mix of shower and tub-shower baths; many residences include screened or enclosed patios and balconies. The property presents mid-century construction with landscaped courtyards, awnings, fruit trees and outdoor living areas stitched between blocks. Shared facilities emphasize active senior living: two swimming pools (one heated), tennis courts, interior pickleball/bocce/ shuffleboard space, a clubhouse with library and auditorium, a game room, and a fitness room. The community is gated with a security fence and entry-card access, and parking is assigned near building entrances. Unit-level conveniences include central vacuum connections, pantry and cabinetry, and sizeable storage and closet capacity. Pet policies and rental restrictions follow cooperative association rules; the complex is HOPA/55+ focused and commonly enforces cash-only purchases or limited financing per HOA covenants. Located in North Miami Beach, the campus places shoppers, restaurants, highways and beaches within short driving distance and runs organized social programming such as bingo, dances and movie nights that shape daily resident life.
