Exclusive island living in Miami Beach
Allison Island is a highly sought-after Miami Beach island community surrounded by the blue waters of Biscayne Bay. And while most island communities feature both landlocked and waterfront properties, this coveted zip code is all water, all the time. "Allison Island is on the Intracoastal, on a very calm section of the waterway. There's less traffic; it's a very quiet area,” says Julian Johnston, a Realtor with the Corcoran Group and a resident of Miami Beach. “The neighbors are friendly; there's always someone out walking their dog. Some people own properties here as their second or third home, so they may only be there in season. It’s very affluent. Lil Wayne just sold his home here; Future just bought one." A walk down the island’s only road, Allison Road/Aqua Avenue, is reminiscent of a tropical vacation far from the rest of the world. But in reality, Allison Island is quite connected to everything the city of Miami Beach has to offer. "There's been a resurgence of high-end retail and dining on Collins Avenue," Johnston says. "Allison Island has become more important as a location because of everything getting built around it. The area has changed a lot in the last two years, so there's a lot of new construction.”
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.

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.
