Open water channels and top-rated schools in Gables By The Sea
Grab a piece of paradise with a home in Gables By The Sea. This community reels in residents because of its spot right on the water. The neighborhood’s impressive homes are surrounded by top-notch amenities — attractions on both land and sea. “The majority of the homes here have ocean access with no bridges,” says local Realtor Ernie Bascuas, of Compass Florida, LLC, noting the unrestricted path many boaters have here. “For those that are looking for the boating lifestyle, it offers them that advantage. As well as proximity to some of the best schools in the area.”
Gated waterfront homes built from the 1950s to today
Gables By The Sea comes with a measure of privacy, gated and guarded at all hours. The homes within the neighborhood represent a cornucopia of expansive properties. All of the homes here are custom-built, constructed across multiple eras, from the mid-20th century to recent years. Architectural styles range from Mediterranean to contemporary. “There is a mix of different styles here, and it’s also an area where a lot of developers are scooping up older homes, knocking them down and building more modern homes,” Bascuas says. Many of the houses in Gables By The Sea line canals that open up to the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve and feature their own docks out back. A lot of residents here have their own boats that they can launch right from home. The houses themselves are typically at least 2,000 square feet, but some push 7,000 square feet. The lots these homes sit on stretch about 13,000 square feet on average. Sale prices in this neighborhood start at about $1.5 million to $2.5 million for properties that don’t border the water. Options with full, unrestricted sea access sell for $5 million to $10 million.
Private and public schools offer specialized academic tracks
Gables By The Sea residents have their pick of top-notch schools to send their kids to, both public and private. Gulliver Prep is a highly rated private option, one of the most competitive academies in all of Miami-Dade County. Gulliver Prep’s prekindergarten through eighth-grade campus is located right by the homes of Gables By The Sea. The average student-teacher ratio at Gulliver Prep, across levels, is 8-to-1. From prekindergarten to Grade 8 campus, students move on to Upper School. Gulliver Prep has two Upper School campuses. Students at both can take advantage of Gulliver Prep’s signature academic programs, which include architecture and engineering. The Upper School Miller Campus offers the EDGE Program, an advanced academic track with a college prep curriculum. The Gulliver Prep system boasts an A+ overall Niche rating. The public schools in the area are all rated well, too, and are part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system. Pinecrest Elementary, which supports prekindergarten through fifth grade, offers the Global Tech Program for students in Grades 1 to 5. This program encourages global perspectives, including networking with other institutions around the world. Palmetto Middle School, which contains Grades 6 to 8, features the Forensic Science Academy, offering hands-on experience in the forensic field. Students then move on to Miami Palmetto Senior High School, which has an A grade from Niche for its college preparation and a list of alumni that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Coral Bay Park and Matheson Hammock are popular outdoor spots
Plenty of green space surrounds Gables By The Sea for residents to explore in their free time, when not enjoying the water. Coral Bay Park is a neighborhood spot with a half-court basketball area and open field space perfect for a picnic. R. Hardy Matheson Preserve is a nearby hotspot for hiking, with miles of trails within its 813 acres. The preserve is close to Matheson Hammock Park, a sandy beach by the bay. There’s a marina at Matheson Hammock Park, too, which is convenient for some Gables By The Sea residents. “Those who have lots that are landlocked have the opportunity to put boats in the Matheson marina,” Bascuas says. The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is another option, where you can spend an afternoon perusing the 3,400 species of plants on display.
Celebrity chef-created waterfront dining near Matheson Hammock Park
NOMA Beach at Redfish is a close spot to grab a meal after enjoying some time outdoors, right by Matheson Hammock Park. This is a relatively new option created by celebrity chef Donatella Arpaia, an Iron Chef America and the Next Iron Chef judge on The Food Network. The scallops here are among patrons’ favorites. Gables By The Sea is what Bascuas considers to be one of the premier neighborhoods across South Florida.
