Mar-Len Gardens is a low-rise, three-story cooperative complex built in 1964 in North Miami Beach that primarily serves an adult (55+) community. The property comprises one- and two-bedroom units arranged around landscaped courtyards and gardened paths; many residences have screened or open balconies overlooking interior green space. Building exteriors show midcentury massing with awnings, shutters for storm protection, and ground-level patios and decks. Interiors typically feature tile floors, modest foyers, walk-in or built-in closets, and a mix of bathtub and separate-shower bathrooms; several units include updated kitchens and central air while others retain original finishes and may need renovation. Common areas focus on social and recreational life: two swimming pools (one heated seasonally), a clubhouse with ballroom/convention space, a library, billiards room, gym/sauna, and additional activity programming. The complex is gated with maintained landscaping, on-site laundry, assigned parking, and elevator access in select sections; maintenance fees commonly cover taxes, land lease, water and basic services. The co-op enforces age and resale rules (cash purchases typical, limited short-term leasing, restrictions on mortgages and pets), and its location places residents within a short drive of beaches, shopping centers, and restaurants, supporting a relaxed, community-oriented lifestyle for older adults.
