Richmond Heights is a historic south Miami-Dade neighborhood between Kendall and Palmetto Estates, just east of the Turnpike’s south leg.
East of the Turnpike
The Turnpike’s south leg forms Richmond Heights’ western edge — the neighborhood’s streets run between it and the Kendall blocks to the northeast. A breakdown close to the Turnpike line is a different approach than one deep inside; tell dispatch which side you are on.
The numbered grid
Like the rest of south Dade, Richmond Heights works on numbered streets — SW 152nd and the cross avenues place the truck within a block or two. On the interior streets, give the street number plus the nearest avenue corner.
Practical notes for a Richmond Heights call
The community is small — name the street and the nearest avenue and dispatch places it. If the car is on SW 152nd heading toward the Turnpike, say so; that corridor handles differently than a quiet interior block.
School hours and the quiet hours
Richmond Heights’ streets carry Miami Southridge’s traffic on school days — a stalled car near the school zone at pickup time should get as far off the travel lane as it can roll, hazards on, and the call should mention the school block. Off hours the same streets are quiet and the call is simple: street, avenue, condition.
