Palmetto Bay is home to the historic 1925 Mediterranean Revival Thalatta Estate, once the stately winter home of the Connett family, located on Old Cutler Road fronting Biscayne Bay.  In 2005, the Village of Palmetto Bay purchased this stunning landmark in order to preserve it. It is open to the public and can be reserved for private events.

The Village of Palmetto Bay is proud of its “A” rated public schools and excellent private schools such as Palmer Trinity School. Great schools, pristine parks, and family-oriented neighborhoods make the Village of Palmetto Bay a very desirable community in which to live.

Palmetto Bay is served by the IBUS –Bus Circulator Service and is close to area attractions such as Metrozoo and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens. US1 serves as the main commercial thoroughfare connecting Palmetto Bay with Coral Gables, the Village of Pinecrest, and South Miami.
