Exclusive access to marinas and wildlife
Seclusion and nature play the starring roles in Snapper—also referred to as Snapper Creek—a scenic, gated community in the south side of Coral Gables. “Most homes here sit on 2-acre lots, and there’s not just one architectural style—each home is unique,” says Ashley Cusack, a Broker Associate at BHHS EWN Realty with 35 years of experience in the area. The exclusivity of this suburb can also be seen through residents’ access to private marinas on Biscayne Bay and their proximity to flora and wildlife at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens. “It’s hard to find boat dockage in this area, so it’s a big deal that community members can usually get a spot in Snapper Creek,” Cusack adds.
Many boating enthusiasts call Snapper home with two marinas in the neighborhood.
Wildlife can be spotted throughout the Snapper neighborhood.

Palmettos shading unique estates
Palm trees and green foliage line the residential streets, filling manicured front lawns that lead to modern estates, many with floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor pools and multicar driveways. While there are several 5,000- to 10,000-square-foot Neoclassical builds, Greek Revivals, Colonial Revivals, and Mediterranean-inspired homes—as Cusack says—the housing styles in Snapper Creek are all different. “The starting point for a 1-acre property is around $4 to $5 million,” she adds. Prices can rise upwards of $25 million for newer constructions, where some properties boast outdoor basketball and tennis courts.
Many single family homes offer privacy with hedging and gates at entrance.

A-graded public school pipeline
Miami-Dade County Public Schools—ranked the No. 1 best school district in the Miami area, according to Niche—serve students living in Snapper. Learners can begin at the No. 4 best public elementary school in the county, Pinecrest Elementary School, which receives an A Niche grade. “Families can actually walk to Pinecrest, which is in a unique location with a path around the backside that leads to a bridge over the canal on 57th,” Cusack says. Students can progress to Palmetto Middle School, which receives an A-minus grade from Niche. High schoolers can attend Miami Palmetto Senior High School, which Niche grades an A-plus and ranks among the best public high schools in Florida. Also in the area is St. Louis Covenant School, a private Catholic school for kindergarteners to eighth graders.
Pinecrest Elementary School is located in the Pinecrest area of Miami.
The entrance to Palmetto Middle School is a focal point welcoming students, visitors, and staff.

Resort-style man-made beach
Locals take advantage of the shaded Old Cutler Trail, an almost 14-mile path that weaves through Coconut Grove and Snapper Creek. "There's an entrance on the backside of the neighborhood, so many people run and bike through Snapper Creek,” Cusack says. On the east side on Biscayne Bay is Matheson Hammock Park, where beachgoers enjoy the man-made beach and fishermen launch and fuel up their boats. “Kite-surfing is popular at the bay, and there’s a high-and-dry for the smaller boats that dock here,” Cusack notes. “And another path leads to NOMA Beach, formerly Redfish, a nice seafood restaurant with waterfront views founded by Donatella Arpaia.”
Residents and guests can relax under palm trees on the beach at Mathesson Park in Snapper.
The West Mathesson Park offers an atoll pool with a beach, marina, hiking trails and more.

Local eats and nearby treats
Next to Pinecrest Elementary, Wayside Market is an extensive fresh produce stand that also offers shakes and smoothies. With NOMA Beach and Wayside Market as the sole local eateries, residents head west to U.S. Route 1 to check off items on their grocery list or try new dining spots. “Being this far east in such an exclusive area, most of the restaurants and shopping are in nearby South Miami or Coral Gables,” Cusack says. Grocers like Publix, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are just a 5-mile drive away. Also conveniently located in this retail area are the Dadeland Mall and Target.
NOMA Beach at Redfish is a popular seafood restaurant among residents of Snapper.
The Wayside Market has been serving the Snapper community for decades.

The Rainforest in Miami
Snapper neighbors Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, where residents and visitors alike can admire the ample collections of tropical plants and local wildlife habitats, including a butterfly exhibit. “It’s right across the street—it's not a public park, but everyone goes there,” Cusack adds.
The rainforest section at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a must visit and beautiful.
Enjoy taking a walk through the beautiful gardens at Fairchild Tropical Gardens.
