Florida is officially home to the most expensive zip code in the country, beating out opulent enclaves across California and New York. Homes on the ultra-exclusive Fisher Island — which sits just south of Miami Beach — have a median sale price of $9.5 million. Just over a century ago, Fisher Island wasn’t an island at all. It was attached to Miami Beach until 1905, when a canal was dug so ships could more easily access the city’s port. The island’s most expensive property is the nearly 10,000 square foot penthouse atop the 10-story Palazzo Della Luna condominium building on the northern coast (pictured below). The 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence comes with multiple pools, two wet bars, an outdoor kitchen, and a stellar view of the Miami skyline…….all for $85 million. Residents are charged a one-time equity fee of $500,000, and members must pay annual dues in the amount of $40,000. Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, Mel Brooks and Boris Becker have all had homes on Fisher Island at one point or another, and any remaining A-listers have kept a low profile ever since. Demand for the Fisher Island lifestyle appears to be on the rise, with two new major construction projects on the way. One is community of private villas that's already sold out, while the second is a massive condo complex, where prices will start at $15 million.
