     Live in serene luxury and indulge in waterfront exclusivity as you explore city living in Snapper Creek Lakes, one of Coral Gables' esteemed gated communities.  

    Traverse the heart of Coral Gables to find the serene, family-oriented enclave of Snapper Creek Lakes, an exclusive gated community of 124 residences set on spacious lots, typically over an acre, comprising estate-style homes that mirror Coral Gables' original Mediterranean Revival design with touches of contemporary flair. 

    Tiny at approximately 0.43 square miles, this charming community is bordered by several distinct communities and destinations, including Gables Estates to its east, Cocoplum to its northeast, Pinecrest to its southwest, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and Matheson Hammock Park to its southeast and eastern section, respectively.

     It is home to an estimated number of 300 residents as of the latest US Census. 

    Hailed as one of the most sought-after addresses in South Florida for its breathtaking scenery in both scale and design, Snapper Creek Lakes remains at the forefront of real estate investments and an earmark for exclusivity paired with idyllic Miami living. 

    Think koi ponds and waterfalls amidst private lakes and canals only one bridge away from the bay — Snapper Creek Lakes is a postcard moment residents get to live every day! 

    Apart from its picturesque ambiance, locals enjoy access to the Snapper Creek Lakes' Club, a central gathering place with a 36-slip private marina for boats up to 38 feet, perfect for a nautical adventure across the Miami waterways, and exclusive venues for events, community activities, and celebrations. 

    For those who crave a lifestyle of luxury and convenience, Snapper Creek Lakes goes beyond just providing a beautiful backdrop. 

    Residents have access to white-glove amenities that elevate everyday living. 

    The private marina, exclusive to community members, offers a refined space with 36 slips that accommodate up to 38-foot-long vessels. 

    Imagine anchoring your luxury yacht or speedboat, ready for a quick escape onto the shimmering Miami waters. 

    However, be mindful of the Old Cutler Road Bridge's height restrictions—10 feet by 4 feet or 10 feet by 6 feet, depending on the tides.

    With quarterly fees of $1,385 for boats in the water and $888 for those on dry land, the marina ensures that residents, whether on a waterfront or dry lot, can enjoy the nautical lifestyle that defines Miami's coastal charm. 

    In addition to the marina, the community's clubhouse provides a central space for social gatherings or private events, comfortably hosting up to 84 people. 

    Whether it's a business meeting, a special celebration, or even a tranquil yoga session offered twice a week, this space is designed to meet the diverse needs of the Snapper Creek Lakes residents.

    The Homeowner's Association (HOA) thoughtfully maintains these premium amenities.

    The HOA charges $37,500 per lot, with annual maintenance fees of $4,000 for homes on dry lots and $4,500 for those on the lake.  

    It's all part of the package that makes life in Snapper Creek Lakes not just luxurious but effortless, blending the best of serene living with the convenience and activity of a well-appointed community. 

    That, plus all the parks and walking trails surrounding Snapper Creek Lakes, brings high-end city living to the next level, one in tune with Mother Nature's allure.  

    Meanwhile, for fun activities and recreation, Snapper Creek Lakes' ideal location puts you moments from a few of Miami's top indoor and outdoor destinations — all less than a half-hour drive! 

    Take  Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden , for example.

    Located less than ten minutes from Snapper Creek Lakes, this 84-acre garden is one of the world's top botanical gardens, dedicated to the conservation and research of tropical plants. 

    At Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, visitors enjoy a massive collection of palms, cycads, flowering trees, and vines alongside themed gardens, like the Rainforest, Butterfly Garden, and Palm collections, and art exhibits, plant sales, and educational programs for all ages. 

    There's also,  Matheson Hammock Park , an immaculate 630-acre park bursting with natural beauty and outdoor activities that's only a five-minute drive. 

    Here, you'll find a man-made atoll pool naturally flushed by Biscayne Bay's tidal action, kiteboarding, kayaking, and birdwatching, a full-service marina, picnic areas, and nature trails amidst stunning views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. 

    Those who revel in luxury shopping need not worry about missing out on Snapper Creek Lakes.

     The Shops at Merrick Park  , north of Snapper Creek Lakes, is only 15 minutes away and boasts a massive collection of over 100 signature retail brands, including favorites like Gucci, Tiffany & Co., and Neiman Marcus.  

    The upscale, open-air shopping center also offers a variety of dining options ranging from casual eateries to fine dining restaurants, along with beautifully landscaped gardens, fountains, and walkways. 

    Oh, but that's not all!

    When art and history beckons you, you'll never have to go too far!

    For a "splashing" throwback, check out the famous   Venetian Pool  , a historic public swimming pool created from a coral rock quarry in 1924.

    Renowned for its Mediterranean-style architecture, which includes waterfalls, grottos, and bridges, this blockbuster attraction is filled with fresh spring water daily, offering a unique and refreshing experience under the sun — and it's only 15 minutes from Snapper Creek Lakes.

    Feel like going out for a night of musicals and performances? 

    Look no further than the  Actor's Playhouse at Miracle Theater , a 15-20 minute commute from Snapper Creek Lakes!

    Known for live performances like musicals, dramas, and comedies, this prominent regional theater is the perfect venue for art and music with a side of drama — only the good kind, of course!

    For more of Miami's charm around Snapper Creek Lakes, check out bustling communities like Coral Gables (naturally!), Coconut Grove, and South Miami — they're all within a 15-minute trip by car!

    Much like most gated Miami communities, Snapper Creek Lakes perfects the blend of tranquility and accessibility, providing residents with a coveted quality of life that is opulent and family-centered. 

    Within, you are welcomed by large estates with architecture ranging from classic Mediterranean to modern designs, many boasting private docks, lush gardens, and luxurious features like swimming pools and guest houses. 

    That said, this romantic sanctuary stands as Coral Gables's crown jewel, attracting affluent professionals, families, retirees, and high-net-worth individuals with its zen-like garden appeal, where green pastures and lush flora native to South Florida curtain the environment to create a heavenly tropical destination. 

    And to top it all off, this serene sanctuary is not just all about aesthetics! 

    Thanks to its proximity to top schools and business hubs, Snapper Creek Lakes locals relish the best of Miami in all aspects, from highly-regarded educational options like Sunset Elementary, Gulliver Preparatory School, Riviera Day School, and University of Miami to bustling districts like Coral Gables, Brickell, and Downtown Miami. 

    Of course, that also means you'll enjoy access to a flight of high-end shopping malls, creative cocktail experiences, new-concept restaurants, and the hottest activities and entertainment, turning your secluded living into a permanent sun-kissed vacation! 

    Needless to say, Snapper Creek Lakes offers an unparalleled lifestyle, combining luxury, privacy, and community in one of Coral Gables' most sought-after locations.  

    With top-quality education options, proximity to business hubs, and a strong sense of community, it's an ideal choice for those seeking an exclusive, family-friendly environment that doesn't sacrifice the amenities and opportunities of a larger city.

    I use non-traditional marketing to inspire the most motivated buyers to pay the max for Miami luxury homes. Besides selling real estate, I love tennis, sports cards, NFTs, my family, mental health awareness, and HIGH-calorie foods 🤷🏽‍♂️
