Which Doral communities have the largest lots?
Vanderbilt Park and Doral Estates. In my Miami-Dade MLS sample of 198 single-family homes in Doral (June 26 to October 9, 2026), Vanderbilt Park had a median lot of 10,396 sq ft and Doral Estates 10,000 sq ft, about twice the Doral median of 5,000 sq ft. Only 9 homes in the sample sat on 10,000 sq ft or more, and 7 of them were in these two communities.

Top 5 Doral Communities by Lot Size

  1. Vanderbilt Park: median lot 10,396 sq ft. 5 of 8 homes on 10,000 sq ft or more, the most in Doral, at the lowest price per lot square foot ($129). None of the 8 listings showed an HOA fee.
  2. Doral Estates: median lot 10,000 sq ft. Two lots of 10,000 sq ft or more (14,251 and 10,000) in a 1982-era community. Small sample: 3 homes, including one in Doral Estates Villas.
  3. Oasis Park Square: median lot 6,352 sq ft. Newer single-family homes (built around 2015) in ZIP 33122 with the largest living area in this list (median 3,947 sq ft).
  4. Doral Sands: median lot 5,981 sq ft. Mid-1990s homes, with one lot of 12,670 sq ft.
  5. Doral Dunes: median lot 5,804 sq ft. Early-1990s homes, with lots up to 9,040 sq ft.

Ranking criterion: median MLS lot size of single-family homes, among communities with at least 3 homes with lot data. Closings June 26 to October 1, 2026, plus active and pending listings at export (September 24 and October 9, 2026). Source: Miami-Dade MLS.

A bigger lot means room for a pool, a summer kitchen, a larger addition, or parking for a boat or trailer where the rules allow it. In Doral, most single-family homes sit on lots of about 4,000 to 6,000 sq ft, so the communities with larger lots stand out.

I am Elizabeth Costa, a Realtor with The Keyes Company. I grouped every Doral single-family home in my Miami-Dade MLS exports by community and ranked them by median lot size. For all Doral listings, see my Doral homes for sale page.

Note: samples are small in several communities, so treat this as a snapshot of recent inventory. The MLS single-family category also includes some attached villas and zero-lot-line homes, which lowers the median in communities such as Doral Isles and Islands at Doral.

Where the 10,000 Sq Ft Lots Are

Only 9 of the 186 homes with lot data had 10,000 sq ft or more:

  • Vanderbilt Park: 5 lots, the largest at 15,372 sq ft.
  • Doral Estates: 2 lots, 14,251 and 10,000 sq ft.
  • Doral Sands: 1 lot of 12,670 sq ft.
  • Doral Isles (Mediterranea): 1 lot of 11,558 sq ft. See the Doral Isles homes page.

If 10,000 sq ft is a must, the search in Doral is short. For lots of that size in other markets, compare my guide to which Coral Gables sections have larger lots.

Most Lot for the Price

Dividing each price by its lot size shows what the land is costing you:

  • Lowest: Vanderbilt Park ($129 per lot sq ft), Costa Verde ($173), and Doral Sands ($174).
  • Highest: Grand Floridian Estates ($524), Downtown Doral ($422), and Canarias ($420), where newer homes sit on smaller lots.

Newer communities usually cost more per lot square foot because more of the price is the house itself. Doral Commons, for example, had a median lot of 5,309 sq ft but a median living area of about 3,690 sq ft. My guide to Doral townhouse vs single-family homes covers the trade-off between space and price.

Why Older Doral Communities Have Bigger Lots

The ranking follows the age of each community. Vanderbilt Park (median year built 1993), Doral Estates (1982), Doral Sands (1995), and Doral Dunes (1991) lead the list. Communities built after 2010, such as Downtown Doral, Canarias, and Doral Palms, sit near the bottom with medians under 4,000 sq ft. Every community in the ranking except Vanderbilt Park had listings with an HOA fee, and some newer communities also have a CDD; see my guide to Doral HOA vs CDD fees.

How to Check a Lot Before You Offer

  1. Confirm the lot size and folio with the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser. MLS figures come from the listing and can differ from public records.
  2. Get a survey to see setbacks, easements, and where a pool or addition could go.
  3. Ask the City of Doral and the HOA, if there is one, what you can build before you plan work.
  4. Check the flood zone with the City of Doral flood information page and get an insurance quote early. See my Doral flood zones guide.
  5. Compare price per lot square foot with recent sales on the same street, not just the community.

For Sellers With a Larger Lot

With so few Doral lots over 10,000 sq ft, lot size is part of your pricing. Price against homes with similar lots, not only similar living area. Request a free home valuation with comparables that account for lot size.

Methodology

  • Source: Miami-Dade MLS exports of single-family homes in MLS Area 30, ZIPs 33178, 33172, 33166, 33122, and 33126: closings from June 26 to October 1, 2026, plus active and pending listings at export (September 24 and October 9, 2026).
  • Doral only: subdivisions outside the City of Doral that share these ZIP codes (such as Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens, and Fontainebleau) were excluded. Unnamed or one-off subdivisions were left out of the ranking.
  • Communities: grouped by MLS subdivision name. For example, Doral Isles combines all of its named sections, and Grand Bay combines Grand Bay North, Grand Bay South Estates, and Isles at Grand Bay.
  • Ranking: communities with at least 3 homes with an MLS lot size, ranked by median lot size.
  • Cleanup: duplicate records across exports were removed; 12 homes without a lot size were excluded from lot figures.
