An island setting with the convenience of a big city

For a chance to live on an island off the Florida coast, most would assume you’d need to move out to the Keys — but residents of Venetian Islands get the joys of island life within spitting distance of downtown Miami. It is home to bike-filled streets, spacious parks and easy water access, allowing homeowners close-up views of Biscayne Bay’s native wildlife, all from the comfort of their own backyard.

Strolls through Venetian Causeway Park

Residents enjoy morning strolls along the trails of Venetian Causeway Park, located on the neighborhood's west side. Alongside its trails are plenty of grassy spots to enjoy a sunset picnic paired with Miami skyline views. Toward the east is Belle Isle Park. This small public green space features a shaded playground to explore and plenty of greenery. Belle Isle is the only Venetian Island that wasn’t wholly man-made, having formerly been a mangrove hammock.

The calm streets of Venetian Islands

The Venetian Causeway is a two-lane road that connects the islands to the mainland and the famous Miami Beach, working as the neighborhood’s mainline. Thanks to its established sidewalks, “it is a very pedestrian-friendly neighborhood,” explains Anna Sherrill, a community resident who has also sold homes in the neighborhood as an agent with One Sotheby’s International Realty Inc. “I always see locals biking around.” Most of the community’s condos are located on Belle Isle, ranging from $649,000 to $2.4 million depending on size and condition. The remaining islands are home to free-standing houses built in the mid to late 20th century, primarily seen in contemporary and Mediterranean styles like much of Miami Beach. These homes come in a wide price range, starting at $3.5 million to $40 million depending on size and amenities.

Sunday brunch and fresh Mediterranean

Early Sunday morning grocery runs can be done less than a mile east at Trader Joe’s before enjoying brunch at Icebox Café, an American-style restaurant “known for its breakfast and lunch,” says Sherrill. Big-name retailers like Macy’s, Nike and many more are situated in Lincoln Road Mall, a short distance from the neighborhood. After a day out and about, an outdoor dining experience with sunset views can be had at Lido Bayside, which serves fresh Mediterranean fare.

Commuting from Venetian Islands

Many residents use Metrobus public transport when commuting to surrounding areas. That said, nearby necessities aren’t too long of a drive, with trips to Jackson Memorial Hospital being a quick 3-mile drive via I-395 West. Those attending classes at Miami Dade College can reach campus off Northeast 3rd Street in a 1.7-mile commute. Farther away is the Miami International Airport, as travelers must make a 7.2-mile trip to catch a flight.

Venetian Causeway traffic

The Venetian Causeway works as a connecting link between the mainland and Miami Beach. It runs under a constant flow most of the time, making traveling through the area a breeze. However, during rush hour, residents can expect to experience a bit of traffic when commuting home for work. More specifically, during significant events held at venues along Miami Beach, the mainline is known to get backed up as attendees travel to and from along the two-lane road.
