The community claims Santa’s Enchanted Forest — the world’s largest holiday theme park — as its own, providing thrill rides and games from October to January at Tropical Park every year.
Westchester’s central locale is part of its allure, offering quick access to Miami’s premier educational institutions, Florida International University and the University of Miami, in addition to retail destinations like Dadeland Mall, Dolphin Mall, and Miami International Mall. Commuting from Westchester is a breeze with direct access to the Palmetto Expressway.
