Bay Harbor Islands
Miami, FL


Bay Harbor Islands. North of Miami Beach lies Bay Harbor Islands, a residential island community of waterfront condos and single family homes nestled along the northern end of Biscayne Bay.

The population of Bay Harbor Islands is 5,146 with a median age of 42 (vs 35 for the US as a whole). 35% have a bachelor's degree or higher vs. 24% for the US as a whole. 39% are foreign born vs. 11% for the US as a whole, and 52% speak a language other than English at home vs. 18% for the US. The median commute time is 27 minutes, and the median household income is $38,514 vs. $41,994 for the US. 47% of housing units are renter-occupied. Single-family owner-occupied homes have a median value of $383,300 vs. $119,600 for the US. Median monthly owner costs are $2,468 with mortgage, or $957 without mortgage.

Median rent is $803. Residents primarily work in management and professional related occupations.

Advantages. The biggest advantage of Bay Harbor is it's relative seclusion; it sits off the main roads and yet it's only minutes away from all that Miami has to offer. Joggers, bicyclists, and roller bladers will find the island's relatively deserted roadways to be the perfect place for some peaceful recreation. Haulover Beach, an expansive green space of picnic sites, beaches, and boat slips is only two miles to the north and the ocean is less than a mile to the east.

Disadvantages. Shopping is extremely limited in Bay Harbor; except for a small strip of stores on the main road, residents will have to drive west to North Miami or east to Bal Harbour for most of life's necessities. Jobs on Bay Harbor are service oriented and very scarce. To get to the mainland quickly, residents must cross the Broad Causeway which charges a toll for visitors or a yearly fee for residents.
