King's Bay is an exclusive guard-gated waterfront community located in the Coral Gables/Palmetto Bay area of Miami-Dade County, Florida (ZIP 33158), at the intersection of SW 67th Avenue and SW 144th Street. This prestigious enclave features approximately 150 luxury single-family estate homes built primarily between the 1950s and 2021 on expansive lots, many with private docks offering direct, bridge-free access to Biscayne Bay. The community emphasizes a quiet, tree-lined residential lifestyle centered around boating and waterfront living.
HOA Fees and Financial Obligations
Public records indicate that King's Bay operates with no mandatory association fees, as it has been incorporated into the City of Coral Gables governance structure since becoming guard-gated in 2008. Homeowners are responsible for individual property maintenance, and any shared costs (such as security) may be handled through municipal channels rather than traditional HOA dues. Specific financial details, reserves, or assessments are not publicly detailed in available real estate listings or community descriptions.
Rules and Regulations
As a gated waterfront community, King's Bay enforces standards typical of upscale Miami neighborhoods, including architectural guidelines for home modifications to maintain the elegant aesthetic. Restrictions often cover vehicle storage (no recreational vehicles, boats on trailers, or commercial trucks visible), landscaping, and dock usage. The guard-gated entry provides controlled access and enhanced security. Detailed covenants are managed by the homeowners association, though specific documents are not freely available online.
Community Amenities and Lifestyle
The primary lifestyle focus is waterfront recreation and boating, with many residences featuring private docks. Residents benefit from proximity to Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club for marina access, overnight dockage, and boat ramp facilities, as well as Royal Harbor Yacht Club. The community offers a serene, upscale environment with lush landscaping and convenient access to Biscayne Bay for boating enthusiasts. No centralized community clubhouse, pools, or fitness facilities are noted; amenities are primarily property-specific or accessed via nearby clubs and public parks.
Notable Aspects
King's Bay stands out for its rare combination of privacy, waterfront lots, and location within Coral Gables while using a Palmetto Bay ZIP code. It is highly sought after for its exclusivity (limited to only 150 homes), direct bay access without bridges, and proximity to top schools, the Deering Estate, and South Florida amenities. The community has seen renewed interest with newer custom homes.
