"A couple of young girls went sailing down A1A / into the arms of Florida / Sailing down a highway / Singing their heads off / Protected by the holy ghosts / Flying in the ocean / Driving with their eyes closed." (- Patty Griffin, "Florida")
The perfect setting for that scenic drive down the Atlantic Coast, Ojus, Florida is a town that has strangely been incorporated, unincorporated, and currently seeks incorporation a second time. So indecisive! Despite being a little bit fickle, Ojus is a beautiful place to live with a fantastic climate, spacious homes, and plenty of available rental condos, apartments, and houses that welcome your furry friends. It's friendly, sunny, and not far from Miami Beach, for the weekends. If sun, sand, and surf are your thing.
The most affordable rental homes in Ojus are available to the south of the city, just by Miami Gardens Drive

Houses and Rental Apartments in Ojus
The most affordable rental homes in Ojus are available to the south of the city, just by Miami Gardens Drive. Here, you can find houses for rent in the same price range as the available one-bedroom apartments. A home here will cost at about the average monthly rate--well within affordability. In the city center and to the north you will find the higher-end homes for sale or rent. Aquaphobes beware: These homes are centered around Greyknoll Lake and Sky Lake, adjacent to Dumfoundling Bay, and minutes from the Atlantic. They are generally 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom houses that surely have a steeper price range, given the additional space.
Even further north, in the Highland Oaks area, there is a wider variety of housing where the pricing is quite a bit higher. What makes all that difference? Generally, the age of the house in question, as well as its proximity (or lack of proximity) to a nice, cool swimming pool. Even though the beach is only a few minutes away, pools are a luxury to have for those embarrassed of their freestyle or backstroke skills.
Overall, Ojus is a beautiful place to live with plenty of amenities; rentals in this city can accommodate those with a smaller budget or quite a large one.
Neighborhoods:
Highland Oaks Park is a beautiful residential area surrounding a green, wooded park. The Highland Oaks Middle School is located in this mid-priced neighborhood$$$
Sparling Lake is a slightly more upscale residential neighborhood with many waterfront homes. It's a quiet location close to major roads for a quick commute to and from work$$$$
Greyknoll Lake is a small residential community that encircles the large Greyknoll Lake. Because of prime waterfront property and relative seclusion of the area, this is a high-end part of town$$$$$
Greynolds Golf Course is a neighborhood filled with smaller, much less expensive homes than in other areas of Ojus. Here there are no water views but there are a few apartment buildings and a beautiful golf course$$
