Allison Island
Goodbye vacation villas, hello contemporary mansions
The tiny island’s luxuriant 8.5-acre stretch is split into two halves. Both are gated and solely feature residential properties. On the north side are high-end single-family houses. They range in style from grand Mediterranean Revivals to sleek contemporary estates. “The older homes, built in the late '30s and '40s, were mainly short-term holiday houses,” Johnston says. “Everyone is leaning toward new construction because now more people live here year-round." Driveways, garages and in-ground pools are standard features; docks are fairly common. Prices of single-family homes range from $8.8 million to well over $30 million. Age, sun exposure and aesthetics all factor into the cost. "The houses facing west are more desirable because you get the sun shining on pools out back and beautiful sunset views looking over La Gorce Island," Johnston says. On the south side of Allison Island, also known as Aqua, luxury contemporary mid- and high-rise condominiums reach toward the South Florida sun alongside modern townhouses. Market prices for these opulent multifamily properties range from $800,000 to $10 million.Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Miami Beach is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Allison Island students can attend North Beach Elementary, rated A-minus on Niche, before attending Miami Beach Nautilus Middle, rated B, and graduating from Miami Beach Senior High, rated B-plus. Miami Beach Senior High has several specialized academies students can apply to for a head start in their desired area of study. These programs include creative arts, communication and digital media, hospitality and tourism, information technology, and marine and environmental science.Allison Park and Brittany Bay Park
Green space is a walk away from Allison Island. Allison Park is a small beachside spot with plenty packed into it. It has a playground, a zipline and a handful of picture-perfect turtle statues. Brittany Bay Park is full of palm trees and walkways. It also has some great views of the Intracoastal Waterway.Glitz, glamor and grocery shopping
Centrally located for shopping, dining and entertainment, Allison Island sits on the north side of Miami Beach, just a bridge away from the crux of North Beach and Mid-Beach. Residents can easily browse their favorite brands at Bal Harbour Shops, hit the fairways at La Gorce Country Club or enjoy fresh Florida mahi-mahi while sipping cocktails at the Oceanside Hotel's full-service restaurant, The Tavern. "The Bath Club is a 10-minute walk away," Johnston says, referring to Miami Beach's oldest private membership club. "You can join as a social member and have all these amenities right on the beach." Members of the Bath Club can lounge in daybeds on Mid-Beach’s shores with beachside food and beverage service.Of course, leaving the island isn’t always for leisure. A quick ride over 63rd Street Bridge and a left on Collins Avenue, also known as State Road A1A, takes residents down a commercial corridor. They can grocery shop at Publix, grab prescriptions from local pharmacies and utilize a variety of other convenient businesses.
I-195 nearby
The closest ramp onto Interstate 195 is less than 5 miles away, across La Gorce and Nautilus islands. I-195 meets I-95 across the water, making the 10-mile trip to Downtown Miami a breeze.Hurricane season
Miami Beach is at high risk for flooding and hurricane damage. According to Risk Factor, many properties on the island score a 9 out of 10 Flood Factor at the least. Hurricane season extends from June 1st through November 30th. The City of Miami Beach has available hurricane preparedness information and encourages residents to have emergency plans.
