The gated Malibu Bay offers both suburban and commuter benefits
Nestled in the northeast corner of Homestead, Malibu Bay is a guard-gated, master-planned community that offers convenient and secure suburban living. The neighborhood attracts those who appreciate Miami but don't necessarily want the cost or the traffic. Homestead suburbs, especially Malibu Bay, are ideally situated for that predicament. The community, right off Ronald Reagan Turnpike, is practical for commutes to Miami and anywhere else due north or south. "This area's located at a perfect spot where you can access the turnpike in a few minutes – no inside roads, no traffic," says Saud Rai, a local CEO of Skywalker Group Realty of Keyes Company. "So, a lot of people here work in Miami. How long the commute is depends on how heavy traffic is, but without traffic you can get out of Homestead and into Miami within 15 minutes." Additionally, Malibu Bay sits next door to Baptist Health Homestead Hospital, a major employer. "Homestead is the bridge between Miami and the Florida Keys," Rai says. "To me, the quality of life in Homestead is better than Miami since you're not fighting traffic and you don't have Miami prices. People used to say Homestead was too far away. Now? Everything is here."

Resort-style living with Spanish flair includes family-friendly events
Malibu Bay is a resort-style community composed of Spanish- and Mediterranean-inspired residences originally built in the early 2000s. "It's well-maintained, and the security is top-notch. You're close to all of Homestead's new development, too," Rai says. Single-family properties come in a variety of builds. From quaint, single-story ranch-style houses to six-bedroom, bi-level estates with double garages. Prices start in the low-$400,000s and go up to the mid-$600,000s. As for multifamily homes, including town houses and condos, prices range from $240,000 to the mid-$400,000s. All of Malibu Bay, including the Monterey subcommunity, is managed by an HOA, and residents have access to the neighborhood's clubhouse. "They do holiday events at the clubhouse," Rai says, "Like for St. Patty's, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. The kids and families love that."
The Malibu Bay community has many charming Spanish-revival style homes to choose from.
