If you’ve ever wondered why Palmetto Bay inspires cult-level loyalty among the people who live there, this episode might just connect the dots for you.

David Siddons of the David Siddons Group sits down with Mayor Karen Cunningham — yes, the actual mayor — for a deep, honest look at what makes this place so special and why so many families, young and old, are choosing to plant roots here.

They cover everything from the village’s incredibly young history to the dramatic rise in home values, the “no more new multifamily” stance, and what it really means to live in a community that protects its small-town feel while still pushing for innovation.

They also get into the stuff residents talk about but developers sometimes forget:

• what’s driving Palmetto Bay’s low crime and high quality of life

• why families rave about the schools

• how the Village of Parks actually became… well, the Village of Parks

• the traffic problem (yes, we went there)

• and the next wave of big investments — including an indoor pickleball center that’s about to have half of Miami-Dade showing up with paddles

Whether you're a future resident trying to figure out if Palmetto Bay is your vibe… or a longtime local who wants to hear how your mayor is shaping the future… this conversation gives you a real, respectful, unfiltered look at one of Miami’s most misunderstood neighborhoods.

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
