About Scott Lake
Scott Lake’s local landmarks include the elementary school on NW 175th Street and Scott Park on NW 15th Court. Blue Route A includes a stop at the school. A nearby NW 172nd Street house rental offers three bedrooms and two baths, while North Dade Regional Library provides tutoring and creative workshops nearby.
A NW 172nd Street rental has parking and a backyard
The advertiser for 725 NW 172nd Street describes a three-bedroom, two-bath single-family house with parking and a backyard. On October 23, 2026, the original AffordableHousing.com advertisement listed $3,350 per month and a $3,350 refundable security deposit, marked negotiable. This is one nearby rental example, rather than a neighborhood rent average.
The ad assigns electricity, water, sewer, lawn care and pest control to the tenant, so the advertised monthly price is only part of this home’s running cost. The backyard comes with upkeep responsibilities as well as outdoor space.
Scott Lake Elementary is on NW 175th Street
Scott Lake Elementary, at 1160 NW 175th Street, serves prekindergarten through fifth grade. Its own website describes a Montessori magnet program and robotics, music and other enrichment activities. The school is a local landmark; its proximity to a home does not establish an attendance assignment or admission to a magnet program.
Blue Route A links the school with shopping and City Hall
The 2024 map currently linked from the city’s Miami Gardens Express page puts Scott Lake Elementary at Blue Route A stop 10. The same route lists City Hall, the Social Security office and Walmart at 17650 NW 2nd Avenue. The city also provides a live trolley tracker. The dated map is useful for identifying the route; use the tracker for today’s service rather than treating its printed times as a current timetable.
Scott Park programming and renovation
Scott Park is at 17710 NW 15th Court. The city’s facilities directory lists ball fields, basketball and a playground, while its capital budget anticipated completion of a renovation in 2026. The October 2026 city calendar lists programming at the park, but does not confirm that every renovated amenity is available. Parks staff at 305-622-8080 can confirm the facilities needed for a particular activity.
Nearby North Dade Regional offers tutoring and YOUmedia workshops
North Dade Regional Library, at 2455 NW 183rd Street, is another nearby destination. The branch lists Saturday homework help from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., along with YOUmedia photography, design and audio workshops. Individual workshops have their own age and registration requirements. Mobile printing and a county 311 service center add practical reasons to use this branch beyond borrowing books.
