Star Island is a guard-gated enclave of grand waterfront estates in Biscayne Bay, just off the MacArthur Causeway between Downtown and South Beach. Long associated with celebrities and moguls, its handful of trophy homes sit on deep-water lots with private docks and skyline views. There are no condominium towers on the island — it is exclusively single-family — making each sale a notable event. Buyers are drawn by the combination of seclusion, security and a location minutes from both South Beach and Downtown Miami.Star Island es un enclave cerrado y vigilado de grandiosas fincas frente al agua en Biscayne Bay, junto al MacArthur Causeway entre Downtown y South Beach.
