A more accessible slice of South Florida suburbia
A spacious green lawn on a quiet South Florida block doesn’t have to empty the bank in Palmetto Bay. This village, about 15 miles south of Miami, offers a tranquil suburban escape from the city, with a plentitude of popular green spaces to enjoy, while maintaining connectivity to the region’s wide-ranging attractions. And it comes at a lower price point than the neighboring village of Pinecrest. “The biggest draw is, in my opinion, you’re going to find larger lots, bigger properties, for more of an affordable price than Pinecrest,” says local Realtor Gustavo Pacheco of eXp Realty.

Variety with quality
Palmetto Bay is primarily residential, so its network of streets is packed with a diverse array of houses. “They are older homes,” says Pacheco, who was raised in Miami. “But you do find people tearing down houses and building from scratch or people finding lots and building homes. But it’s very rare.” Options here date back to the mid-20th century and ranch-style and Mediterranean architecture is common. There is also a wide selection of multistory new traditional and contemporary. Single-family homes in Palmetto Bay come with price tags that range from the $500,000s to more than $2 million. The area is made up mostly of single-family houses, but there are condos and townhomes as well. Prices for these vary widely, with condos running between $100,000 and $200,000 and townhomes starting in the $300,000s and quickly racing past the $1 million mark.

“Village of Parks” means plenty of outdoor fun
Palmetto Bay has invested so much into its recreation facilities that the area is nicknamed the “Village of Parks.” The village’s parks are its pride and joy, and the municipality is working on adding more, including one named Veterans Park and another dubbed Tanglewood Linear Park. Existing spaces, like Coral Reef Park, already have a sterling reputation, popular for its tennis courts and exercise stations. There’s even an on-site food stand, Parkside Café, with everything from cheeseburgers to ice cream. Locals can also take advantage of the village’s location by the Biscayne Bay at spots like Deering Point Park, where they can venture out into the water thanks to the available kayak and paddleboard rentals.

Amenities aren’t hard to find
Residents are only a short drive from their pick of retail and dining options, many of them on U.S. Route 1. Colonial Palms Plaza, for instance, includes Five Below, PetSmart, Party City, and a combined Marshalls and HomeGoods. There are also a couple of well-liked restaurants in the plaza, like Caffe Portofino, which is popular in part for its pear ravioli. Babe’s Meat & Counter, down the road, is renowned for its burgers. Route 1 features a Publix and an ALDI as well, convenient for groceries. And those looking for more shopping have The Falls, an almost 840,000-square-foot mall across from Colonial Palms Plaza. “It’s a really nice outdoor mall,” Pacheco says.
