The Roads is known for its old homes, historic private schools, and its tree-covered streets.

The Roads is very close to Downtown and Brickell, but is a historically residential neighborhood.

Mary Brickell had designed the Roads as a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, with wide streets with median parkways and roundabouts with native Miami plants.

Mary Brickell gave the streets, parkways, sidewalks, and electric lighting to the City of Miami in 1922.

[4] The Roads is also an entire off-grid plan section of the city of Miami.
