North Miami does not get enough credit. While buyers flock to Brickell and Aventura, some of South Florida’s most compelling waterfront living has been quietly thriving just a few miles north — along NE 135th Street, where two very different neighborhoods share the same beautiful stretch of Biscayne Bay.

Keystone Point — Gated, Prestigious, and Built for Boaters

Keystone Point is one of North Miami’s most sought-after addresses — a gated community of 880 single-family homes where the water is always close and privacy is non-negotiable.

Nearly every residence features a private dock with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and a quick run through Haulover Cut to the Atlantic Ocean. The Keystone Point Marina provides full-service docking, supplies, and fishing charters for residents who live the boating lifestyle year-round.

The location is equally impressive. Keystone Point sits minutes from Bal Harbour Shops, Aventura Mall, Surfside, and Miami Beach — world-class amenities at your doorstep, without the noise and density of those markets. There are no mandatory HOA fees, the community association hosts regular neighborhood events, and the streets are quiet, tree-lined, and secure.

Top-rated schools nearby include FIU MAST Academy, FIU Biscayne Bay Campus, and prestigious private institutions like Miami Country Day School — making the area a natural fit for families and professionals alike.

Arch Creek East — Where Nature Meets the Bay

Right next door, beginning at the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 135th Street, is Arch Creek East — a mile-long cul-de-sac community that ends at the shoreline of Biscayne Bay.

What makes it special is its relationship with nature. The neighborhood is anchored by the Arch Creek East Environmental Preserve, a 13-acre mangrove forest and coastal estuary that serves as a vital wildlife corridor between Oleta River State Park and the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. Five passive parks run along the neighborhood’s main street, making it one of North Miami’s most walkable and scenic addresses.

Residents enjoy canal and Miami skyline views, bay access, kayaking, and nature trails — all within minutes of Bal Harbour, Surfside Beach, and the Keystone Point Marina. It offers a waterfront-adjacent lifestyle with genuine character that is increasingly rare in South Florida.

Two Neighborhoods, One Exceptional Corridor

Together, Keystone Point and Arch Creek East create one of the most compelling waterfront corridors in all of North Miami — offering everything from luxury gated estates to high-floor penthouse residences with canal and skyline views, all minutes from Bal Harbour, Aventura, and Miami Beach.

If you have not been paying attention to this corner of North Miami, now is the time to start.
