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.

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.
