About
With only 34 estates in existence, Star Island is a man-made enclave in Biscayne Bay that functions as the most tightly controlled private address in South Florida. A-list celebrities, tech billionaires, and international moguls choose it for one reason above all: a level of privacy and security that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in Miami. Every property commands panoramic views of the city skyline, direct bay access for mega-yachts, and floor plans ranging from 10,000 to 30,000+ square feet. A private guarded bridge links the island to Miami Beach, and in my experience nothing tops Star Island as the pinnacle of South Florida luxury living.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and investing in this area
How much does a house cost on Star Island, Miami?
Star Island occupies the absolute peak of the US real estate price spectrum. Estate prices generally run between $30 million and $100 million, though the ceiling reaches well beyond that. With just 34 properties on the entire island, listings surface so rarely that every sale turns into a market event.
Who lives on Star Island?
The island's owners read like a who's who of wealth and fame — billionaires, A-list entertainers, and high-profile corporate leaders. Gloria Estefan, Diddy, and Rosie O'Donnell have all called it home over the years, alongside tech and finance moguls drawn by the absolute privacy and perimeter security.
Can you visit Star Island?
A private guarded bridge keeps access to Star Island tightly controlled around the clock — it is not open to the public. Only residents and their invited guests can come and go. Anyone curious about the mansions usually views them from the water, since Miami boat tours frequently cruise past the island.
What makes Star Island so exclusive?
What sets Star Island apart is a combination that's nearly impossible to replicate: just 34 estates spread across an 86-acre man-made island, a single privately guarded point of access, deep-water waterfront lots with berthing for mega-yachts, and a spot minutes from South Beach yet completely sealed off from it.
Are there any condos on Star Island?
Star Island is single-family only. Every property is a standalone estate on a waterfront lot that typically exceeds 40,000 square feet. You won't find a single condominium, townhome, or multi-unit building anywhere on the island.
