Many people prefer homes inside a gated community. Besides added security of a monitored entry, gated communities can offer amenities and a stronger sense of community. The Miami, FL suburbs certainly have their share of gated communities. I’ve been in all these communities and would be happy to accompany you on a tour and provide more detailed information.

Palmetto Bay has the following gated communities:
