Palmetto Bay Real Estate | Area Guide

Welcome to Palmetto Bay

Vibrant Miami suburb along Biscayne Bay

It has been 30 years since Hurricane Andrew devastated homes and businesses in South Florida. The Village of Palmetto Bay was one of the worst areas affected by the storm's ferocious path.

Through responsible leadership and the tenacity of property owners, Palmetto Bay was able to slowly rebuild, creating a far more exceptional version of itself. The thriving village now features environmentally friendly homes, beautiful parks, spectacular nature reserves, and top-rated public and private schools.

Tucked between South Dixie Highway to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east, the Village of Palmetto Bay is an incorporated municipality in Miami-Dade
County. Fondly referred to as the "Village of Parks," the area boasts six lavish recreational facilities that offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities.

Many residents enjoy scenic waterfront properties, with some featuring horse stables and barns. There are charming neighborhoods and luxurious gated communities with Mediterranean-style homes scattered throughout the village.
