Mar-Len Gardens is a low-rise cooperative community of three-story residential buildings constructed in 1964. The complex is composed of multiple garden-style blocks arranged around landscaped courtyards and walking paths, with first- and second-floor entries plus limited third-floor access by elevator. Typical units are one- and two-bedroom co-op layouts featuring tile floors, walk-in closets, modest foyers, and a mix of bath types (tub, shower, garden tub). Many residences offer screened balconies or patios looking onto communal green space and include built-in cabinetry and practical kitchen updates in recent listings. Exterior character is defined by porches, fenced courtyards, outdoor living areas, and storm/security shutters. Shared facilities emphasize social programming and basic recreation: two pools (one heated), a fitness area, billiards, a library, auditorium/games rooms, a solarium and steam rooms. The property is gated with assigned and guest parking, on-site elevators in each three-story building, and a community courtesy bus. The complex operates under land-lease co-op rules with 55+ HOPA verification, cash-only purchase requirements in many listings, rental restrictions, and maintenance fees that commonly include taxes and utilities. Located in North Miami Beach near Haulover Beach, retail corridors and public transit, the setting supports a quiet, activity-driven, amenity-forward senior lifestyle.
