Mar-Len Gardens (Bldg 12)

Mar-Len Gardens (Building 12) is a low-rise, three-story cooperative community completed in 1965 and configured primarily with one-bedroom residences. The complex is part of a larger 55+ gated development in North Miami Beach and emphasizes communal outdoor living with gardened courtyards, screened patios and balconies that often face pool and game areas. Interiors typically include tile flooring, modestly sized kitchens (many remodeled), one bathroom layouts, walk-in closets or abundant built-ins, and accessibility features such as first-floor entries and elevator access in portions of the campus. Shared facilities across the community include two pools (one heated), sun decks, a clubhouse with library and billiard room, a gym, sauna/steam room and laundry. Exterior assets include tennis courts, barbecue areas, enclosed porches and fenced grounds with lighting. The cooperative structure uses a land-lease model with monthly maintenance that commonly covers taxes and some utilities; sales are typically cash-only with age-restrictions and limited short-term rental allowances. The property’s location is near shopping, dining, public transportation and is about three miles from the beach, offering a quiet, activity-focused lifestyle for active older adults.
