Bay Harbor Islands is a quiet, upscale enclave just west of Bal Harbour and Surfside. Made up of two islands—one primarily residential, the other mixed-use—it offers a rare mix of bayfront living, small-town walkability, and access to top-tier amenities all within a few blocks.
Buyers love Bay Harbor for its balance. The east island features a mix of luxury condos, boutique buildings, and single-family homes, many with private docks and water views. The west island, where most of the town’s low-rise commercial district sits, adds daily convenience with cafés, medical offices, salons, and neighborhood-serving retail all within walking distance.
This blend of peaceful residential streets and well-curated commerce makes Bay Harbor feel like a village—one that’s tucked between some of Miami’s most high-profile real estate zones, but with its own rhythm and scale.
Residents enjoy proximity to Bal Harbour Shops, Surfside’s Harding Avenue, and the beach itself, all within a 5-minute drive—or even a short walk. Families are also drawn to Bay Harbor for its top-ranked public school, Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K–8, which consistently ranks as one of the best in the county.
While Bay Harbor remains residential in character, its adjacent commercial districts and zoning for ground-floor retail on the west island give the neighborhood long-term value and built-in support. The area appeals to buyers who want quiet, quality real estate with easy access to retail, services, and investment-grade properties nearby.
If you’re looking for a coastal community that’s stable, walkable, and positioned between luxury and convenience, Bay Harbor Islands offers one of Miami-Dade’s most livable waterfront lifestyles.
