Fisher Island is located on an artificial island of the same name on unincorporated land in Miami-Dade County.

Once a one-family island home of the Vanderbilts, and later several other millionaires, it was sold for development in 1960s. The property sat vacant for well over 15 years before development was begun for very limited and restrictive multi-family use.

Named for automotive parts pioneer and Miami Beach developer Carl G. Fisher, who once owned it, Fisher Island is 3 miles off shore of Miami, Florida. No road or causeway connects to the island! Fisher Island still remains somewhat inaccessible to the public and uninvited guests, and is as exclusive by modern standards as it was in the days of the Vanderbilts, providing similar refuge and retreat for its residents as it is only accessible by private ferry and helicopter.

Today, Fisher Island is occupied by less than 230 households. It remains an exclusive and wealthy community. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Fisher Island had the highest per capita income of any place in the United States.

The island contains mansions, a hotel, several apartment buildings, an observatory, and a country club. Boris Becker, Oprah Winfrey, and Mel Brooks are among the celebrities with homes on the island.
