About Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay, Florida
Palmetto Bay is widely regarded as one of Miami-Dade County’s premier family communities—an incorporated village on the southern Miami-Dade coast that combines excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, lush green spaces, and convenient waterfront access. Incorporated as a village in 2002, Palmetto Bay sits between Pinecrest to the north and Cutler Bay to the south, with Biscayne Bay forming its beautiful eastern boundary.
Palmetto Bay is served by ZIP codes 33157 and 33158, and its approximately 24,000 residents enjoy a distinctly suburban character carefully protected through thoughtful land use planning. The community features a mix of established neighborhoods developed in the 1960s through 1980s, alongside newer luxury construction and waterfront estates with private docks on Biscayne Bay.
The village government is active and citizen-focused, maintaining the tree-canopied, low-density character that defines Palmetto Bay as one of South Florida’s true gems. Explore all Miami communities →
