Miami Beach Has Most Expensive Zip Code in Florida

MIAMI BEACH, FL — In addition to being one of the top nightlife destinations in the United States, Miami Beach now holds a new designation. It is home to the priciest zip code in Florida, according to a new report. Nearby Doral had the third priciest zip code while Key Biscayne holds the fourth priciest postal code in the Sunshine State.

"With a median sale price of $3.4 million, Miami Beach’s 33109 is Florida’s number one most expensive zip code," according to real estate website PropertyShark. "Located in the exclusive community of Fisher Island, 33109 also ranks as fourth most expensive zip in the country in 2016. A long-time chart-topper of expensive zip codes, Fisher Island is located on an eponymous barrier island, accessible only by boat."

Each of the top three zip codes in Florida had median sale prices of $1 million and higher. Fisher Island was once a one-family residence of the Vanderbilt family. It was later partially owned by President Richard Nixon.

"Nowadays Fisher Island is home to stately mansions, a private marina, hotel and some high-end apartment developments," PropertyShark penned. "Residents have included Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, Boris Becker and Mel Brooks and the island remains a popular real estate market with CEOs, financiers and ultra-high net worth individuals and families."
