Sweetwater is a city in western Miami-Dade County, about 12 miles west of downtown Miami. It is bordered by Doral to the north and northeast, with Florida's Turnpike forming its western edge and Tamiami Trail (SW 8th Street) along its southern border. First platted in the 1920s land boom, Sweetwater was incorporated in 1941.
The city grew significantly after Florida International University opened its main campus just to the south, and an annexation in 2010 brought Dolphin Mall within city limits. The Dolphin Expressway crosses the center of town, providing quick access to Miami International Airport, Doral and downtown Miami. Housing includes single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums, with options that appeal to families, students, faculty and investors alike.
