Welcome to Bay Harbor Islands

Waterfront Living with a Local’s Eye

For more than 25 years, I’ve called the Bay Harbor / Bal Harbour community my home — and in that time, I’ve witnessed its transformation into one of Miami’s most desirable investment and lifestyle destinations. Bay Harbor Islands combines a boutique, village-like feel with world-class access to shopping, dining, schools, and waterfront living.

The Essence of Bay Harbor Islands

Bay Harbor is made up of two islands:
  • The West Island, filled with single-family waterfront homes, private docks, and lush landscaping.
  • The East Island, home to mid-rise condos, boutique new developments, and vibrant residential streets.
Together, they form a community that feels both exclusive and neighborly, with direct bridges to Bal Harbour Shops, Surfside, and Miami Beach.
 

Why Bay Harbor is a Prominent Investment

  • Prime Waterfront Access: With expansive Biscayne Bay views and direct access to the Intracoastal, Bay Harbor homes and condos consistently command premium value.
  • Top-Rated Schools: Families from around the world are drawn to Bay Harbor for schools like Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K–8 Center, one of the best public schools in Miami-Dade.
  • Boutique Redevelopment: Older low-rise buildings are giving way to luxury boutique residences, offering investors excellent upside potential.
  • Location Magnetism: In just minutes, residents can be shopping at Bal Harbour Shops, strolling Surfside’s beaches, or dining at world-class restaurants.
