The Best Country Club Communities in South Florida? | Fisher Island 

Fisher Island has the distinction of being the wealthiest zip code in the United States. The island, located in Biscayne Bay off the coast of Miami Beach, has a storied history. In the 1920s, Fisher Island’s then-current owner and the namesake met William Vanderbilt II. Fisher coveted Vanderbilt’s 250-foot yacht, and Vanderbilt longed to own Fisher Island. Carl Fisher proposed, “My island for your boat.” This legendary trade was history-making! Vanderbilt went on to build a $1.5 million private retreat, an iconic cornerstone of Fisher Island to this day. Fisher Island continues to attract the exceptionally wealthy. They seek a level of exclusivity and privacy that is hard to obtain in South Florida but is obtainable at Fisher Island. 

Fisher Island is a 216-acre private island with a member-only club and approximately 800 condo-style residences. Residents and visitors can only access Fisher Island by ferryboat or private yacht. Once you’ve arrived on the island, various exceptional lifestyle amenities await. Village life on Fisher Island includes many lifestyle amenities such as a luxury hotel, private beach, 9-hole award-winning golf course, 17 tennis courts featuring all four “Grand Slam” surfaces, two deep water marinas, a full-service spa and fitness center, plus many dining options.
