Belle Meade Islands

Located in Miami’s Upper East Side, Belle Meade Island is a hidden community with family homes and spacious condos. Conveniently located, the island is just a 20 minute drive from Downtown and South Beach.

According to a 1920 map of Miami, most of Belle Meade Island was originally mangroves. When Belle Meade Island was separated from the mainland in 1925, a portion of the canal was cut through this hammock?. Furthermore, stone cut when the canal was dug, was probably used to line the riverfront retaining walls. Now, Belle Meade Island is a peaceful neighborhood with landscaped gardens but is also located close to central Miami.
