Fontainebleau (incorrectly spelled "Fountainebleau" in the 2000 census) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.
In 1970, Ben Novack, the Fontainebleau's original owner, grew jealous of Doris and Alfred Kaskel's plans in Doral and wanted to create his own planned golf course, resort, and community.
Novack, however, soon fell into financial problems (and the Fontainebleau Park would play a part in the hotel's foreclosure in 1977).
[6] The community of Fontainebleau Park itself was a collection of sub-divided villages around two 18-hole golf courses.
As of the 2020 United States census, there were 59,870 people, 20,323 households, and 14,670 families residing in the CDP.
[11] As of the 2010 United States census, there were 59,764 people, 20,726 households, and 15,298 families residing in the CDP.
