About the area
Where Goulds is
Goulds is an unincorporated community and Census-designated place. South Miami Heights lies to the north, Cutler Bay to the northeast and Princeton to the south. U.S. Route 1 (Dixie Highway) is its main road. Homesteaders settled the area around 1900. It took its name from Lyman Goulds, who operated a Florida East Coast Railway siding built there in 1903. Cauley Square, a former railway town, is part of Goulds today.
Census ZIP code area data places most of Goulds in 33170, with small parts in 33177 and 33189. All three are on our coverage list.
Local homes
Homes in Goulds and what they mean for appliance repair
The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 estimates) counts about 4,600 homes in Goulds, with roughly 14,400 residents. About 64% are single-family detached houses, 12% are attached homes such as townhouses, and 22% are in buildings with two or more units.
The median home here was built in 1986. Homes from the 1980s and early 1990s are old enough that original water supply lines, dryer vent ducts and outlets may be due for a look, even when the appliance itself is newer.
About 56% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so most residents arrange appliance repairs themselves. If you rent, check your lease first, since your landlord or property manager may handle repairs.
Dryer vent runs
In single-family homes the dryer vent often runs through a wall or attic to the outside. Long or crushed ducts slow drying and collect lint.
Local guide
Coverage south of Goulds: Princeton and Naranja
Many people ask about Princeton and Naranja, the communities just to the south. Our coverage is set by ZIP code. Census data places about 91% of Princeton in ZIP code 33032, which is not on our current coverage list. Only Princeton's northern edge falls in 33170. Naranja lies entirely in 33032. So we can confirm coverage for Goulds, but not for most of Princeton or for Naranja today.
In Goulds itself, housing is a mix. Census estimates show about two-thirds detached houses, with townhouses and mid-size buildings making up most of the rest. The median home was built in 1986, so many homes are now old enough that original supply lines, vent ducts and outlets deserve a look.
Before you call, check the simple things. Make sure the breaker hasn't tripped, the water valves are open, the dryer's lint filter is clean and the dishwasher's filter is clear. If the problem continues, one call connects you with an independent contractor.
