Bay Harbor Islands & Indian Creek Real Estate Guide
Two small, exclusive islands between Miami Beach and Surfside — boutique waterfront condos, a top-rated K-8 school, and one of the most private single-family enclaves in the country.
Why People Love Bay Harbor Islands & Indian Creek
Bay Harbor Islands is a small, incorporated town made up of two islands in the Intracoastal Waterway, known for its top-rated K-8 school and a mix of boutique, low-rise waterfront condo buildings — generally smaller and quieter than the high-rise towers of Sunny Isles or Bal Harbour just to the north.
Neighboring Indian Creek Village is a separate, ultra-private single-family enclave on its own island — one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the country by average household income. It’s almost entirely single-family homes rather than condos, so we mention it mainly for context; if a condo is what you’re after, Bay Harbor Islands is the more relevant market of the two.
What the Condo Market Looks Like
A smaller, more boutique inventory than nearby high-rise markets.
Rather than large glass towers, most condo buildings in Bay Harbor Islands are low-rise — generally under 60 units — sitting directly on the Intracoastal with private docks or shared marina access. Inventory turns over less often than in bigger markets like Sunny Isles or Aventura, so patience (or an off-market lead) helps here.
