About
Star Island was dredged from Biscayne Bay in the early 1920s as one link in the chain of islands along the MacArthur Causeway, platted from the start into 34 deep-water lots. Access runs across a single privately guarded bridge, and every lot is zoned exclusively for one detached estate — no condominiums or multi-unit buildings exist anywhere on the island.
