Allison Island

The beautiful Allison island is found inside the Indian Creek waterway of the La Gorce neighborhood and considered a part of the greater Miami city known as North Beach. The island is 8.5 acres and divided into a North and South Island by 63rd Road. In the southern Island, also known as Aqua, you’ll find condos and townhouses, whereas the northern Island contains only waterfront homes, with many oversized lots and ultra-contemporary design. Every single home on the Island features direct water access to Biscayne Bay, which is part of what makes this neighborhood so highly sought-after. This secure and quiet community is gated 24 hours a day and connects to North Miami Beach by a bridge. Less than a mile away from Indian Creek Park and La Gorce Country Club, the island features a fitness center, heated pools, jogging paths, art installations, children’s play center, and a neighborhood store. Upscale shopping at Bal Harbour is also only minutes away. Praised for providing a private, peaceful, and serene luxury lifestyle with the backdrop of breathtaking water views and bay access, Allison Island homes are truly an island oasis fit for modern-day royalty.

Allison Island Homes History:


Prior to the year 1900, Allison Island was nothing more than a small clearing in the mangrove swamps at the opening of the Indian Creek waterway overrun with alligators. In 1912, as developer Carl Fisher was creating what is now Miami Beach, he also decided to build a smaller island in tribute to his business partner, Jim Allison. As the owner of the island, Allison did not develop it until 1926, beginning with the opening of a state-of-the-art hospital to serve homeowners on Miami Beach. The hospital was contracted to be run by the Sisters of St. Francis in Allegany, New York, who had experience operating hospitals up north, and then sold to them after Allison’s death in 1928. The sisters ran the hospital until 1992 when the property was sold, demolished, and then resold to developer Craig Robbins, who had a grand new vision for the island. Aqua of today’s Allison Island was the ambitious dream project finalized in 2003.
