Mar-Len Gardens is a low-rise, mid-1960s cooperative community of three-story buildings clustered around landscaped courtyards and garden paths. Constructed in 1965, the complex offers primarily one- and two-bedroom floor plans arranged for easy single-floor living, with many units featuring screened patios or balconies that open onto communal green space. Interiors typically include tile or wood-look floors, built-in storage and pantry areas, walk-in closets in some homes, and accessible design elements such as first- and second-floor entries and elevator access in select buildings. Common facilities are extensive for a garden-style development: two swimming pools (one heated), a clubhouse with auditorium and TV room, a fitness center, shuffleboard/bocce courts, solarium terrace, and community library. Outdoors, residents find barbecue areas, fenced courtyards, patios and a canal-front park adjacent to the property, plus on-site covered or designated parking. The association operates as a HOPA/55+ community with gated entry, application and land-lease cooperative governance; rules include limitations on rentals, cash-only sales in many listings, and age-restricted activity programming. Located in North Miami Beach, the property is minutes from beaches, major retailers, dining, and Aventura Mall, offering a suburban-urban blend of walkable shopping and quiet garden living.
