Palmetto Bay #10 Best Suburbs to Raise a Family in Florida
Current Resident: I've lived throughout the US, Europe, and South America and can honestly say that Palmetto Bay's quality of life is at the top of the list. Its relative affordability, safety, schools, and proximity to Miami places it among the best places to live in Florida. Only 10-15 minutes from great restaurants, nightlife, monkey jungle, ZooMiami, golf courses, and a beautiful coastline. Also only about 45 mins to Key Largo, 35 Minutes to downtown Miami and 25 mins from MIA and ! It is super kid and family friendly. Our kids bike, roller blade, ride scooters, and stroll freely in their neighborhoods as well as around the many beautiful parks in the city. Many residents use golf carts to drop kids off at school , go shopping at Publix or pickup a cup of coffee at Starbucks. There is a bit of congestion but every major city has a degree of congestion (does not compare to congestion in NY, LA, DC). We bought our home 4 years ago and have no plans of leaving this beautiful place anytime soon! Read 76 Reviews
