Bay Point Estates is a neighborhood within the Upper Eastside of Miami. It is a gated community stretching from NE 41st Street to NE 50th Street alongside Biscayne Boulevard. The neighborhood streets are privately owned by the households, of which there are approximately 250. To maintain the streets and the neighborhood's 24-hour security, residents must pay neighborhood dues.
One reason for the neighborhood’s desirability is its location. Centralized in the City of Miami, it is essentially a suburban contiguity located in the heart of the Miami area’s urban core. It is less than ten minutes from downtown Miami and South Beach, and within twenty minutes away from most other major centers in Miami, such as Coral Gables, Hialeah, and Aventura, Florida. Much of the neighborhood’s high real estate values are thanks not to the homes, but the property the house sits on.
The resident's premier homes are lined along Sabal Palm Road, one of the most expensive streets to live on in the United States.
The style of the homes varies. Most of the homes were built between 1940 and 1960, and exhibit architectural styles ranging from contemporary Floridian to ranch.
Many of the neighborhood's wealthy residents are among the most prominent lawyers, doctors, and businessmen in Miami. Its most famous current and former residents include Enrique Iglesias, Liván Hernández, Willy Chirino, and DMX.
It is adjacent to Morningside, another affluent, historic residential neighborhood in Miami’s urban core.
