Bal Harbour - History and Real Estate

The village of Bal Harbour consists of ½ square mile, almost half of which is water. Located on north Miami Beach, between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Bal Harbour is one of the area’s more affluent neighborhoods.

Bal Harbour sits on what was originally swamp land. Initial development was put on hold during World War II and the land was leased to the United States Air Corps, which built a Prisoner of War camp on the site. In 1946, after the war’s end, the village was incorporated and development took off.

Today, Bal Harbour is best known as being home to the upscale Bal Harbour Shops and its 2,513 affluent residents. While there are a number of high-end condo complexes in Bal Harbour, single-family homes in this exclusive community are typically large and sit on oversized lots.

As in most Miami neighborhoods, ocean front homes in Bal Harbour are in short supply and high demand. The difference here, however, is that inland homes offer the same luxury styling as those on the water.

Current home prices in Bal Harbour range in price from $399,000 to $45 million. Let’s take a closer look at some of what is available.
