History

The Country Walk community was originally designed and built by the Disney-owned Arvida Corporation. Country Walk Arvida broke ground on the first homes in 1978 and construction finished in 1994.

In 1985, Janet Reno prosecuted the Country Walk case, allegedly an example of day-care sex-abuse hysteria. The Arvida Corp. paid settlements of over $5 million to alleged victims in this case.

In August 1992, Country Walk was severely destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. 90% of the 1,700 homes in Country Walk were destroyed. Following the hurricane, property owners filed lawsuits against the developer of Country Walk, Arvida for shoddy construction. In the subsequent years, the homes were slowly rebuilt. Unlike the destroyed homes which were made of wood frame construction, the new homes were rebuilt with concrete walls. Although many areas of Miami were heavily affected by Hurricane Andrew, Country Walk was one of the worst affected and remains a reminder of the hurricane’s extensive disaster in the CDP today.
