Discover the Lifestyle of Machado Groves Homes

Machado Groves is a future townhome community planned near East Mowry Drive and SW 162nd Avenue in Homestead. The approximately 8.63-acre development is positioned just west of Florida’s Turnpike, placing it within an established residential area with convenient road connections to Downtown Homestead, shopping, parks, and destinations throughout southern Miami-Dade County.

Current approved plans call for 69 townhomes in two-story buildings. D.R. Horton pursued the project through Homestead’s planning process, transforming property previously used as farmland into a proposed residential neighborhood. Buyers following Machado Groves Homes for Sale should consider it a future development, as a current home sales program, pricing, and construction schedule have not been confirmed.

About Machado Groves

Machado Groves is planned for the southwest corner of East Mowry Drive, also known as SW 320th Street, and SW 162nd Avenue. The property sits immediately west of Florida’s Turnpike and encompasses approximately 8.63 acres.

The approved development program includes 69 residential townhomes. This is lower than the 77 residences included in the project’s initial 2022 proposal. The later plan went through Homestead’s formal land-use, zoning, site-plan, and plat review process.

The community is designed as a residential townhome neighborhood rather than a mixed-use development. Detailed information about final home collections, architectural finishes, association fees, and sales timing should be confirmed if D.R. Horton formally launches the community for homebuyers.

History of Machado Groves

Machado Groves takes its name from the property associated with the Jose L. Machado Jr. Trust. D.R. Horton initially placed the farmland under contract and began seeking development approvals for the site.

The project became public in early 2022, when the initial proposal called for 77 two-story townhomes. Those plans contemplated residences with private garages and driveway parking, but the development was subsequently revised as it progressed through Homestead’s review process.

By late 2022 and early 2023, planning documents reflected a 69-townhome configuration. The project required changes to the property’s future land-use and zoning designations along with site-plan and tentative-plat approvals.

In March 2023, the Homestead City Council considered the revised Machado Groves applications, including site-plan and tentative-plat approvals for 69 residential townhome units on approximately 8.63 acres. D.R. Horton continued to be associated with Machado Groves in subsequent city records.

The project should still be treated as a future development until current construction and home sales information is formally established.

Amenities

Machado Groves was planned without a traditional private recreational amenity package. The original development information specifically indicated that the community would not include amenities, and no later verified plan establishes a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center, or similar recreational facility.

The community’s location instead provides access to established public and commercial destinations throughout Homestead. Nearby options include parks and recreation facilities, shopping and restaurants along Homestead’s major commercial corridors, and the attractions of Downtown Homestead.

Florida’s Turnpike is immediately east of the area, providing connections toward Miami and other parts of South Florida. Homestead also serves as a gateway to Biscayne National Park, Everglades National Park, Homestead Bayfront Park, and the Florida Keys.
