Welcome to the Sunset Islands
Luxe gated community on Biscayne Bay where the excitement of Miami is within easy reach
Directly across from the
Miami Beach Golf Club’s dazzling greenways, the Sunset Islands are a set of four luxury-style islands that house single-family homes. Resting on a portion of the Biscayne Bay, known as Sunset Lake, these four islands are well-known for their superb views of the incandescent Miami skyline. These private and gated communities lend an elevated atmosphere of exclusivity and esteem to the entire area. However, the Sunset Islands also enjoy the perks of being within minutes of some of Miami and Miami Beach’s hottest nightlife, shopping, and dining.
Sunset Islands can be broken into two groups. On the upper side of North Bay Road, the islands of Sunset I and Sunset II consist mostly of waterfront estates and come with a private zoned boat dock. To the south, Sunset III and Sunset IV have larger lots, with envy-inducing designer homes.
No matter the island, this community’s residences are highly-coveted, and prices can range from one million, upwards of 20 million. The price points are well worth it—from palatial new-build estates with top-of-the-line amenities, mid-century beauties with a contemporary vibe, and luxury condos tucked into renovated art deco buildings, the housing in Sunset Islands is some of the best in the entire south of Florida.
What to Love
- Short drive to the beach, South Beach is just three miles away
- Close to plenty of great restaurants and shops
