Explore 5 star-studded Miami properties where celebrities have lived, from Star Island to Fisher Island estates.
Whether you're a long-time Miami resident or just making your October move to South Florida, there's always something new to discover. Here's our curated list to help you make the most of life in the Sunshine State this fall.
1. Star Island Estates
This exclusive island, located just off the MacArthur Causeway between Miami Beach and downtown Miami, has housed Madonna, Diddy, and Gloria Estefan. The gated community requires discrete, high-security moving services with advance coordination through security checkpoints. Most moves here happen during cooler morning hours to avoid Miami's afternoon heat and summer thunderstorms.
2. Versace Mansion (Casa Casuarina)
Located at 1116 Ocean Drive in the heart of South Beach's Art Deco Historic District, Gianni Versace's famous residence has seen multiple transformations since the 1990s. Now a boutique hotel, the property's history includes several high-profile owners who needed specialty moving services to handle priceless artwork and antiques through the building's ornate Mediterranean-style interiors.
3. Fisher Island Properties
Accessible only by ferry from the terminal near South Pointe Park in South Beach, this ultra-exclusive community sits just three miles off the coast of Miami Beach. Moving to Fisher Island requires specialized logistics including ferry reservations for moving trucks, coordination with island security, and timing around ferry schedules. The island's tropical weather and salt air also mean extra care for protecting furniture during transport.
4. Coral Gables Mansions
The historic Mediterranean-style estates along streets like Alhambra Circle and Coral Way have housed numerous celebrities over the decades. Known as "The City Beautiful," Coral Gables features tree-lined streets with large banyan trees that can make moving truck access tricky. Many of these historic homes also have narrow driveways and specific HOA rules about moving hours, typically restricted to weekdays between 8 AM and 5 PM.
5. Miami Beach Penthouses
Luxury high-rise penthouses in buildings like the Faena House, Setai, and Four Seasons Surf Club require coordinated elevator access and building management approval for moves. Most Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive high-rises have specific freight elevator schedules, loading dock reservations, and Certificate of Insurance requirements. Planning around Miami Beach's busy tourist seasons and Art Basel in December can also help avoid congestion.
