In this episode of Better Decisions, I sit down with Karen Cunningham, longtime mayor of Palmetto Bay—Miami’s “Village of Parks.” A former first-grade teacher and community advocate, Mayor Cunningham has led initiatives spanning school safety, flood-risk reduction, and park expansion while keeping the village’s small-town feel intact.
We unpack why Palmetto Bay has become a top choice for families and value-minded buyers: low crime, strong public schools, meaningful parks & recreation, guardrails on over-development, and practical investments in resilience that can even reduce flood-insurance costs. We also look ahead at mobility upgrades, the growing downtown corridor, and how lifestyle and community programming shape long-term home values.
Karen Cunningham has served Palmetto Bay residents for over a decade—first as Councilwoman and now as a two-term Mayor. Her administration emphasizes public safety, parks and recreation, school partnerships, and infrastructure/resilience, all while maintaining the village’s community-forward character.
