It's official - America's hottest big city is now Miami. Who can argue with a city that enjoys sunny weather throughout most of the year, has beautiful architecture that can be found in its world-renowned Art Deco District, has some of the most exciting major league sports teams, features some of the greatest beaches in the country, and is renowned for being a legendary spot? Miami is definitely the place to be, which has elevated Florida to America's tropical paradise. However, the thing about being an exciting urban center is that the cost of living has now skyrocketed.

For this reason, many people are moving to the residential communities that surround Miami. Communities like Lakes by the Bay offer many of the perks of Miami but have a more comfortable pace of life. A census-designated community situated in exciting Miami-Dade County, Lakes by the Bay is home to over 9,000 residents.

Predominantly residential, Lakes by the Bay features some of the most beautiful homes in the South Florida area. Residents are renowned for their friendly nature and Lakes by the Bay is considered one of the safest places to live in the Sunshine State. With Miami less than 17 miles away, Lakes by the Bay offer its residents the thrill of urban living with the comfort of suburban life.
