Fisher Island has made tremendous inroads in its growth, popularity
and most of all, its unbelievable value since the fascinating story
behind the Fisher Island history began when it was conceived in 1905
by real estate developer Carl G. Fisher. After ownership was
transferred over to none other than William Kissam Vanderbilt II, a
member of the respected and famous Vanderbilt family, the island became a retreat for the family. The affluent mansion once belonging to William Vanderbilt, still standing today, is a prominent reminder of the island's flawless regality and why the Fisher Island history still remains so mysterious yet alluring even more than 100 years later.

Throughout its years, Fisher Island has developed into what was once a gorgeous secluded retreat designed to accommodate a well to do family into a truly admirable prosperous neighborhood occupied by a multitude of families who live in impeccable mansions, stunning waterfront apartments and immaculate traditional luxury homes that still exude the dazzling Spanish architecture of yesteryear pioneered by the Vanderbilt family. It's only one of the many reasons why this exclusive neighborhood is probably the most luxurious in South Florida.

More than eighty years later, Fisher Island has become the top choice for the most prominent names in entertainment. Wealthy celebrities and notable public figures of past and present like respected philanthropist and billionaire talk show host Oprah Winfrey, multifaceted and multi award winning director Mel Brooks, and former professional tennis athlete Boris Becker are among the people who own or have once owned one of the spectacular homes on Fisher Island.

Today Fisher Island is reserved only for the people who like to live large and in charge. Its overall value and its real estate has been distinguished in prominent publications like Forbes as one of the most handsomely high-priced in the entire country. Its location within the city of sunny Miami Beach, while still being completely detached and inaccessible through traditional means of vehicular access, has only managed to make it that much more irresistible.
