MLS snapshot, July 15, 2026. Figures refresh live when you load the page.
Snapper Creek Lakes sits off Old Cutler Road in East Kendall, 33156, behind a manned gate that runs around the clock. The community wraps two internal lakes — 124 home sites in total, roughly 30 with lake frontage and six with direct access to Biscayne Bay. A private marina holds 36 slips for boats up to about 38 feet, run by a dock master, with clearance under the Old Cutler Road bridge setting the limit for anything larger.
The lots run an acre or more, and the homes on them range from Mediterranean-style estates built starting in 1954 to newer construction that replaced them lot by lot as owners rebuilt over the decades. That mix — original footprint, full rebuild, or somewhere between — is the defining feature of the housing stock here: buyers are choosing a lot size and a gate, not a single architectural era. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a short drive away, and the community is zoned to Pinecrest Elementary, Palmetto Middle, and Miami Palmetto Senior High.
MLS listing sheets don't always tag Snapper Creek Lakes the same way — I've seen the subdivision name typed three different ways on the same street. I match every listing against the tax legal description instead of the agent-typed field, so the inventory and closed-sale stats above are pulled from homes platted inside the gate, not a guess. If you're buying here, I can run the comps by lot size and water access. If you're selling, I'll price against what's closed inside the gate in the last twelve months, not the wider ZIP code.
Yes. Snapper Creek Lakes runs a manned gate around the clock. It's built around a private marina — 36 slips, boats up to about 38 feet — rather than a golf course or clubhouse, which sets it apart from most guard-gated communities in East Kendall.
Snapper Creek Lakes is in 33156, in East Kendall off Old Cutler Road. The stats above pull live from the MLS for that ZIP and legal-description match, so they reflect only homes platted inside the gate.
Run the free home-value tool on this site — it pulls comps from homes that closed inside the gate, matched by legal description, not the wider ZIP. I'll follow up with a market-specific opinion if you want a second read on the number.
