What is the difference between Grand Bay and Isles at Grand Bay?
Isles at Grand Bay is one section of Grand Bay, not a separate community. Grand Bay, in west Doral (ZIP 33178), groups several sections: Isles at Grand Bay (single-family, built 2013 to 2015), Grand Bay North (single-family and Astoria townhomes, 2015 to 2016), Grand Bay South Estates (single-family, 2017), Grand Bay South Townhomes, and condos. In my Miami-Dade MLS sample, Isles at Grand Bay homes had a median price of $965,000, compared with $1,294,500 in the newer Grand Bay South Estates.
Grand Bay Sections Ranked by Median Price
- Grand Bay South Estates: median $1,294,500. The newest single-family section (2017), with the largest homes (median 2,785 sq ft) and lots (5,000 sq ft), at $443 per sq ft.
- Grand Bay North: median $990,000. Single-family homes from 2015 and 2016 (median 2,548 sq ft), plus the Astoria townhomes at a median of $675,000.
- Isles at Grand Bay: median $965,000. The largest and oldest single-family section (2013 to 2015), with the lowest price per sq ft of the three ($368) and the only waterfront homes in the sample (2).
- Grand Bay South Townhomes (Summit): median $889,900. Four-bedroom townhomes from 2017 and 2018, about 2,020 sq ft.
- Condos: median $400,000 to $482,500. St. Maarten at Grand Bay (2013 to 2014) and the Park Central buildings, with two and three bedrooms.
Ranking criterion: median price (sale price for closed homes, list price for active and pending). Closings June 30 to September 30, 2026, plus active and pending listings at export (September 24 and October 9, 2026). Source: Miami-Dade MLS.
In This Guide
Buyers often search for Isles at Grand Bay and Grand Bay as if they were two communities. In the MLS, Grand Bay is a group of sections recorded under different names, built by phase from 2013 to 2021. Knowing which section a home is in tells you its age, home type, and price range.
I am Elizabeth Costa, a Realtor with The Keyes Company. I grouped every Grand Bay listing in my Miami-Dade MLS exports by section. For live inventory, see my Grand Bay and Isles at Grand Bay homes for sale page.

Single-Family, Townhome, or Condo?
Grand Bay covers three price levels in one area:
- Single-family: about $660,000 to $1.6 million in this sample, in Isles at Grand Bay, Grand Bay North, and Grand Bay South Estates.
- Townhomes: about $660,000 to $895,000, in Astoria (Grand Bay North) and Summit (Grand Bay South Townhomes).
- Condos: about $390,000 to $520,000, in St. Maarten at Grand Bay and the Park Central buildings.
My guide to Doral townhouse vs single-family homes covers the trade-offs. Condo buyers should also read my guide to milestone inspections and reserve studies.
Where Midtown Doral Fits
The Midtown Doral condo buildings on NW 107th Avenue are recorded in the MLS on the Grand Bay Commons South plat. They are left out of the table above because they have their own page: Midtown Doral condos for sale.
What to Check Before You Offer
- Confirm the section on the listing and the folio with the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, since each section has its own association documents.
- Review the HOA budget, what the fee covers, architectural rules, and any lease restrictions.
- Check the tax bill for any community development district assessment. The City of Doral explains how community development districts work, and my guide to Doral HOA vs CDD fees breaks down both.
- For condos, ask for the milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study status.
- Get the wind mitigation report and an insurance quote early, and review your buyer closing costs.
For Grand Bay Sellers
Price against sales in your own section and home type. An Isles at Grand Bay home from 2013 and a Grand Bay South Estates home from 2017 are both "Grand Bay," but they sold at different price levels in this sample. Request a free home valuation with comparables from your section.
Methodology
- Source: Miami-Dade MLS exports for Doral (ZIP 33178) with Grand Bay in the subdivision name: closings from June 30 to September 30, 2026, plus active and pending listings at export (September 24 and October 9, 2026).
- Sections: assigned by MLS subdivision name. One home on NW 99th Avenue listed only as "Grand Bay" (built 2013) was grouped with Isles at Grand Bay. Park Central includes condos recorded under Grand Bay South Villas, Grand Bay South Gardens, and Grand Bay Roads.
- Excluded: Midtown Doral condos (Grand Bay Commons South plat), covered on their own page.
- Price: sale price for closed homes and list price for active and pending homes. HOA figures are monthly amounts reported on the listings.
- Cleanup: duplicate records across exports were removed.
