Pinetree Drive Miami Beach Homes for sale
Pine Tree Drive is residential street running up the “middle” of Miami Beach from the north end of South Beach all the way to La Gorce Island. Past 41st Street it features some rather extravagant waterfront Mansions. It gained some unwanted fame when Justin Bieber was arrested there in 2014 for alleged drag racing. Aside from this somewhat funny faux-pas, it is a nice and quiet street to buy a Miami Beach mansion on.
Currently the following Pinetree Drive Homes are for sale:
North Bay Road Miami Beach Homes for sale
North Bay Road is an exclusive street in Miami Beach, that has had it’s own share of celebrity residents (e.g. Cher, Billy Joel, Matt Damon). Lower North Bay Rd runs along Biscayne Bay from 20th to roughly 34th St and and Upper North Bay Rd runs from roughly 42nd St to just North of 63rd St ending at La Gorce Park. The northern part of North Bay Rd is interrupted by a small inlet between 48th St and Lakeview Drive. North Bay Rd Miami Beach homes for sale consist of waterfront mansions set alongside Biscayne Bay.

Biscayne Point Miami Beach Homes for sale
Biscayne Point is a lesser known part of Miami Beach. In this quiet part of North Beach, you can find more modest homes at more affordable prices, while still enjoying a great location and, more often than not, a waterfront setting. A perfect location for a boating enthusiast on a budget.
Indian Creek Island Estates for sale
Indian Creek is arguably the most unique location in this list with only 41 homes sites and a golf course. It’s full and part time residents include celebrities and billionaires such as Julio Iglesias and Norman Braman. Indian Creek island is not only exclusive, but also incredibly with it’s own police force guarding the island on land and from the water.
La Gorce Island Mansions for sale
La Gorce Island is located at the end of La Gorce Dr. in the northern part of Miami Beach. The guard gated La Gorce Island is located next to Allison Island and like all the other islands, features luxurious waterfront homes as well an non waterfront homes.
Fisher Island Luxury Condos for sale
Fisher Island is not a destination known for it’s ample supply of lavish beachfront mansions, but rather for it’s luxurious seaside condos, which makes it more of a honorable mention. Arguably the most exclusive of all the Miami Beach real estate locations (I’m sure Indian Creek residents will disagree) is the secluded Fisher Island which is only accessible via Ferry and access is only granted to residents and their visitors. The uniqueness and ultimate exclusivity lead me to include Fisher Island in this article despite the fact that it isn’t the best destination if you are looking for a Miami Beach Mansion.
Currently the following Fisher Island Luxury Condos are for sale
