Bay Point

Bay Point is a private residential development that stretches from NE 41st Street to NE 50th Street and is bordered on the west by Biscayne Bay and Biscayne Boulevard. The neighborhood has about 250 single-family homes, most of which were built in the 1940s and 1950s, and the average lot size is over 13,000 square feet. A high proportion of people are vacation or seasonal homeowners, as is the situation in many of Miami's beachfront areas. The streets, including the roaming safety patrol and security gate officers, are privately owned and managed by the homeowners..

Despite the fact that the majority of the residences are on dry lots, the community has roughly 90 waterfront properties with direct bay access or frontage on the Sabal canal or Sabal Lake. The cost of a 3,000 square foot (280m2) home on a dry site in the Miami enclave ranges from around $1.1 million to just under $27 million for a premium waterfront estate with excellent bay views. Over the years, the neighborhood has attracted a number of celebrities, including Grammy Award winner Willy Chirino and former Miami Marlins ace pitcher Livan Hernandez, and is now home to Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova.
