Bonus: The Best Miami Pre-Construction Condos in Gated Communities
While the developments above are gated condo buildings in their own right, here’s another level of exclusivity to consider: luxury condos located within Miami’s most prestigious guard-gated communities, where entire neighborhoods offer layered security, lush privacy, and a more residentially-minded community. Great for those who value a low-stress, low-traffic environment with minimal neighborhood friction, these are the kind of neighborhoods where your kids can bike freely on the streets, neighbors feel familiar, and peace of mind comes built into the lifestyle.
Also, there’s no shortage of housing options either—depending on the community, options range from from waterfront estates to secluded island enclaves and full-service, luxury condo buildings. From legacy properties to next-gen residences, luxury gated communities in Miami and South Florida cater to a wide range of tastes, lifestyles, and life stages.
In Miami Beach, some of the most well-known guard-gated enclaves include Fisher Island, Star Island, Allison Island, Indian Creek Island, La Gorce Island, and parts of Normandy Isles. We recommend reading our deeper dive into these top Miami Beach gated communities for a preview of the sense of community and lifestyle they have to offer.
If sprawling, tropical communities speak to you, then Coconut Grove delivers with its collection of guard-gated enclaves such as Grove Isle, Treasure Trove, Entrada Estates, Hughes Cove, Cloisters on the Bay, Bayshore Villas, L’ Ermitage, and The Moorings. These lush, private neighborhoods offer a quieter pace of life, peacocks in your yard, tree canopies at every turn, and the feeling of being worlds away and, at the same time, just minutes from the city.
