"Indian Creek is an independent municipality with its own government and a police force that patrols the island 24/7 not only by land but also by sea. A single guarded bridge connects it to the mainland, and any visitors must show their ID and may even undergo vehicle inspection."
"The main island contains a mere 40 lots of purely waterfront property, adding another layer of exclusivity on top of the inflated cost to entry. The island's interior is dominated by the Indian Creek Country Club and its private 18-hole golf course."
"With only 84 residents as of 2020, Indian Creek Island is one of the most exclusive enclaves in America, and a big reason why is the privacy and security that it affords its ultra-wealthy residents."
Indian Creek Island, a 300-acre manmade strip in Biscayne Bay north of Miami Beach, serves as an exclusive residential enclave for the ultra-wealthy. With only 84 residents and 40 waterfront lots, the island attracts billionaires including Tom Brady, Jeff Bezos, and Ivanka Trump. Properties start at $60 million, with recent purchases exceeding $150-200 million. The island features the Indian Creek Country Club with an 18-hole golf course requiring a $500,000 initiation fee. As an independent municipality with its own government and 24/7 police patrol by land and sea, the island maintains extreme privacy and security. Access is controlled through a single guarded bridge where visitors must present identification and may undergo vehicle inspection.
