Palmetto Bay

South of Pinecrest, lower prices, same great schools, the smart alternative for family buyers.

Palmetto Bay sits just south of Pinecrest and shares many of the same advantages, large lots, top public schools, quiet streets, at a lower entry price. SFH median is around $700K-$900K depending on the street. Palmetto Senior High also zones here. The community has a small-town feel with a village center in development. It's further from downtown Miami (about 30-35 min) but for families who work from home or work locally, that tradeoff makes sense. The city borders Biscayne Bay on the east with some waterfront lots, and Black Point Marina is close for boaters. For buyers priced out of Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay is the move.
