About the area
Where Cutler Bay is (including Cutler Ridge, Lakes by the Bay)
The Town of Cutler Bay was incorporated in 2005. It lies just west of Biscayne Bay, about 18 miles southwest of downtown Miami. Its northern border follows SW 184th Street (Eureka Drive) east of U.S. 1 to the coast, and its southern border is SW 232nd Street, north of Black Point Marina. The town includes the area formerly known as Cutler Ridge to the west and the neighborhood and former Census place of Lakes by the Bay to the east.
The name goes back to Dr. William Cutler, who visited the area around 1880 and encouraged others to settle in what became the pioneer community of Cutler. Census ZIP code area data places Cutler Bay in 33189, 33157 and 33190. All three are on our coverage list.
Local homes
Homes in Cutler Bay and what they mean for appliance repair
The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 estimates) counts about 15,100 homes in Cutler Bay, with roughly 45,100 residents. About 66% are single-family detached houses, 14% are attached homes such as townhouses, and 20% are in buildings with two or more units.
The median home here was built in 1984. Homes from the 1980s and early 1990s are old enough that original water supply lines, dryer vent ducts and outlets may be due for a look, even when the appliance itself is newer.
About 70% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so most residents arrange appliance repairs themselves. If you rent, check your lease first, since your landlord or property manager may handle repairs.
Dryer vent runs
In single-family homes the dryer vent often runs through a wall or attic to the outside. Long or crushed ducts slow drying and collect lint.
Local guide
Cutler Ridge, Lakes by the Bay and storm readiness
If you're searching for Cutler, Cutler Ridge or Lakes by the Bay, you're in the right place. Cutler Ridge is the town's former western community name, and Lakes by the Bay became part of the town when it incorporated in 2005. Neither is a separate Census place today, and both are covered by this page.
Hurricane Andrew badly damaged this part of Miami-Dade in 1992, and storm readiness remains part of life here. For appliances, that means a few habits. Keep a thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer and know where the water shut-off valves are. Write down your appliance model numbers before the season starts. After an outage, plug appliances back in one at a time and note any error codes.
About two-thirds of Cutler Bay homes are detached houses, and about 70% are owner-occupied. The median build year is 1984. Many homes are now old enough that original dryer ducts, supply lines and outlets deserve a check during a repair visit.
