Allison Island Estate Homes

Allison Island is a cozy Miami Beach waterfront community. It consists of single-family homes and condos, all of which are on the water; there are no dry lot residences on Allison Island.

South of 63rd Street is AQUA Allison Island, a cohesive, pedestrian-oriented guarded island for people who appreciate fine living, inspiring art, and quality design. Its streets and blocks encourage walking and include a waterside promenade, a series of small plazas and a central square connected by avenues, streets, lanes, and walkways.

Lush landscaping creates the vibrant green space of a tropical island. Ten contemporary architectural firms were invited to design the AQUA condos and townhomes, responding to the island setting, the climate of Miami Beach, and the qualities of life associated with the tropics… all emphasizing natural ventilation and light.

Allison Island History

The Island dates back to 1912, when Carl Fisher dredged the mangrove swamps, chased away the crocs from the clearing called Crocodile Hole and created a buildable area, which he named after his friend and business partner, Jim Allison.

North of 63rd Street, Allison Island features luxurious single-family homes fronting Allison Road, which bisects the Island. The first 11 homes were built in the 1930s and more went up each decade until the 1980s. Mediterranean-style architecture predominates, and older homes have been restored and updated.

All Allison Island homes are waterfront and on large lots ranging from 16,000 to 24,000 square feet with 75 to 100 linear feet on Indian Creek or Biscayne Bay. Most homes have boat docks and the luxury trappings of landscaped gardens, swimming pools, expansive lawns, and some private tennis courts. With no drawbridges to the ocean, Allison Island appeals to boat owners who like the fact that they can reach open water in little time.

The gated Island is spacious and convenient, and its charms are reinforced by privacy, a peaceful atmosphere and sense of community. Homes on Allison Island are greatly sought after, and few are on the market at any given time.
