Which ultra-luxe Florida zip code is calling your client’s name?

The lifestyle of the rich and famous can be a many-splendored thing—the keyword being many. Some of wealthiest citizens of the world have chosen Florida as their most-favored locale and these preferred zip codes each offer a distinctly different take on what it means to live in luxury. A closer look at these distinctions reveals a lot about the people who live there, and the people who want to live there. Let’s take a peek at what makes each of these zip codes special, the type of people they attract, and contact information for the real estate sections of their local newspapers.

According to current census data, Florida’s top four zip codes for having the wealthiest residents are 33109, with an average income of over $900 thousand, 33480, with an average income of about $334 thousand, 33158, with an average income of about $285 thousand, and 33149, whose earners take home an average of $264 thousand.

  1. 33109, Fisher Island

This private island community is a millionaire’s playground. Known for its ultra-luxe lifestyle amenities, it has a population of 792 surrounded by the seas of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s tropical savanna climate type has an average temperature of 75 degrees.

When celebrities and industry captains are your neighbors

Fisher Island is a luxury mecca just off the tip of Miami Beach that’s accessible only by ferry, yacht, helicopter or seaplane. It’s said its residents are made up of celebrities, executives and oligarchs, and include the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Julia Roberts. These residents represent the wealthiest zip code in the nation. However, the island’s dazzling collection of mid-rise towers and villages—with many residences designed in the style of Mediterranean villas facing pristine turquoise seas—also attracts wealthy buyers from across the globe. The city’s prime location, just minutes from downtown Miami’s famous clubbing nightlife and glamourous South Beach, offers non-stop upscale amusements and accoutrements.

For those embracing living large, Fisher Island begs the question… are you ready to claim the ultimate residential address? Private island life also includes access to two cutting-edge marinas, world-class dining including the Vanderbilt Mansion’s famed Garwood Lounge & Piano Bar, and one of Florida’s most sought-after champion seaside golf courses.

According to Redfin, Fisher Island homes are selling for a median price of $2.1 million. The community’s local newspaper, the Islander News, includes a real estate section, and all advertising, editorial submissions, announcements and news can be emailed to [email protected].
