from Palm Beach to South Miami Beach,
which includes homes in;
MIAMI BEACH
Miami Beach consists of the following areas – South
Beach, Mid-Beach / Millionaires Row and North Beach, along with several islands. Each of
these areas consists of several different neighborhoods.
South Beach is a section of Miami Beach, Florida
that encompasses the lower 23 blocks of the island from the point south of 1st
Street to 23rd Street. For more detailed information, please go to my website
section titled South Beach.
Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands, also known as the
South Islands, are accessible only from the Macarthur Causeway and are among the
most exclusive neighborhoods in Miami Beach. Star Island is located in Biscayne
Bay just off the Macarthur Causeway and is home to about 30 waterfront single family
residences on just two streets, separated by a park-like median consisting of
banyan trees, royal palms and an old water tower. The luxury homes are typically very
large and sit on lots of about an acre or more with one particular home on over 268,000 square
feet.
Celebrities like basketball player Shaquille
O’Neal, hip-hop music mogul Sean Coombs, Rosie O’Donnell and Latin music moguls
Gloria & Emilio Estefan have made their full time / 2nd homes here on Star Island. Homes range in price from $10 million to over $30
million.
A little less exclusive but still very affluent are Hibiscus Island and
Palm Island. Palm island is located just west of Star Island and is also off the
Macarthur Causeway with about 140 single-family homes located on three streets.
Homes here range from just under one million to over $10 million. Hibiscus
Island is just north of Palm Island and has about 155 single-family homes in a
similar price range.
The Venetian Isles consist of the Belle, Di Lido, Rivo Alto, San Marco, Biscayne and San Marino Islands. They are a string of
artificially created islands developed in the 1920’s that connect to 15th Street
on the Miami side and is accessible from 17th Street and Dade Blvd. from the
Miami Beach side. There are over 450 single-family homes on these islands.
Waterfront houses typically start at over $2.5 million with houses on dry lots
at about half the price. On the easternmost island, Belle Island, there are
mainly condos. Cyclists and runners are often seen on the roads here as it is a
very scenic route and almost safe from Miami drivers. Andre Balazs, the
Hotelier, purchased the former Lido Spa located on the North side of Belle Isle
and transformed it into the Standard Hotel, one of the top spas in Miami.
Mid-Beach consists of the area north of 23rd
Street up to 63rd Street. The intra-coastal splits Miami Beach here. On the
beach side are condominiums; the other side are almost all single-family homes
with the exception of a couple of apartment buildings and Aqua at Allison
Island, an eight acre man-made, gated island consisting of 151 condos and
townhouses. The neighborhoods of La Gorce, Nautilus, Bayshore and Oceanfront
make up Mid-Beach.
The La Gorce Neighborhood includes all of the
area from Surprise Lake, north to La Gorce Island, and from Biscayne Bay east to
the Indian Creek waterway. La Gorce Island and Allison Island are part of this
neighborhood. The Lake View Area, bounded by Lake View Drive and 51st Street is
a sub-neighborhood of the La Gorce Neighborhood. The area is generally comprised
of single-family residential streets. There are no institutional uses, and only
one small commercial building on 51st Street and Cherokee Avenue. North Bay
Road, Alton Road, Pine Tree Drive, and La Gorce Drive are all comprised of
large-lot, single family homes. North Bay Road stretches from 20th Street north
to 63rd Street and has about 95 bayfront estates on some of the most prized real
estate with spectacular wide open bay views of Miami. Pinetree Drive or
Millionaires Row boasts a number of large estates on the Intracoastal. La Gorce
Island is another of Miami Beach's very exclusive area.
