Mar-Len Gardens is a low-rise cooperative complex in North Miami Beach built in 1964, consisting of three-story garden-style buildings arranged around landscaped courtyards. The community primarily offers one-bedroom units and occasional two-bedroom layouts with tiled floors, walk-in closets, pantry space, and first- or second-floor entry options; several residences feature screened balconies, patios, or private outdoor living areas. Interiors typically include modest, updated kitchens with cabinetry and granite or tile surfaces, central air in many units, and accessible features such as elevators and laundry on each floor. Exterior amenities emphasize communal outdoor life: fenced grounds, gated entry with card access, landscaped courtyards, awnings, and covered porches. Shared facilities focus on active adult programming and recreation—multiple swimming pools, a clubhouse, fitness room, shuffleboard and social rooms—supported by on-site management and surveillance. Parking is private to the complex and units often include assigned spaces. The property operates under co-op rules with a land lease, HOPA verification for 55+ residency, restrictions on initial financing (cash sales common), and limited short-term leasing allowed after the first year. Located near shopping corridors, restaurants, and only a few miles from the beach, the complex targets a community-oriented, low-maintenance lifestyle for older adults.
