Indian Creek Village

Indian Creek is a man-made 300-acre island in Biscayne Bay, minutes from Miami Beach and a world away from it. This independent visual study of the most exclusive village in America features live satellite imagery of the island — glide over a gold pin to reveal the owner, the purchase date, and the price, or click any pin to fly down to street level for a close look at the estate itself.

A single guarded causeway from Surfside is the only way in — only residents, staff, and invited guests make it past the gate

A private 18-hole golf course covers the island's interior, while the mansions ring the water — each with a dock facing the bay

The village has never had a restaurant, a store, or a hotel. It doesn't need one

Its own police department patrols by boat, jeep, and Jet Ski around the clock — roughly one officer for every six residents

A 2014 survey pegged residents' combined net worth at more than $37 billion; the current figure is comfortably north of that

Gold crowns mark the island's record-breakers, from the first great estate at under $4 million to 7 Indian Creek Island Road — the most expensive home ever sold in Miami-Dade. No affiliation with Indian Creek Village, its residents, or its country club.
