Situated along the jade-hued waters of Biscayne Bay, Bay Harbor Islands is known for its serene island atmosphere and charming small-town vibe. Set apart from the mainland by the bay’s tranquil tides, this island idyll lies at a scenic remove from the frenzied pace of urban life. At the heart of the community lies a lively downtown area, lined with swaying palms, pastel storefronts, and outdoor cafes.
For residents and visitors alike, it offers a perfect blend of seaside tranquility, walkable convenience, and vibrant energy. The newest addition to this neighborhood is Onda Residences, a luxurious condominium development. Onda, which fittingly means “wave” in Italian, is a knowing nod to its prime waterfront location along Biscayne Bay.
As the largest estuary on Florida’s southeastern coast, Biscayne Bay’s lush seagrass beds nurture a vibrant aquatic ecosystem, home to over six-hundred species of native fish and wildlife, including endangered manatees, sea turtles, and swallowtail butterflies. Glide through the bay’s pristine channels by kayak and discover its dazzling biodiversity up close.
Meanwhile, strolling down 103rd Street provides a taste of the neighborhood’s breezy island lifestyle. Sidewalk cafes bustle with patrons sipping cortaditos or enjoying seafood along the waterfront. Stylish boutiques offer everything from resort wear to one-of-a-kind locally made crafts.
Just steps away, quiet residential streets lined with historic homes and archways transport you back to Old Florida. The Mediterranean revival mansions and art deco buildings crafted from coral rock and limestone provide architectural diversity. Interspersed with these historic gems are more contemporary condominiums and luxury buildings featuring sleek modern design with nods to the area’s heritage.
With private marinas, an on-site school on the island, and convenient access to everything Bal Harbour Village has to offer, there’s no better place to experience island living in Miami while enjoying all that North Miami Beach has to offer.
For those seeking Riviera-style amenities with a genuinely local vibe, Bay Harbor Islands delivers the perfect blend of luxury, lifestyle, and community.
