Two islands, two kinds of homes
Bay Harbor Islands' zoning keeps the West Island for single-family homes only and the East Island for multi-family dwellings.

Bay Harbor Islands is two islands in Biscayne Bay with different housing. The town's zoning keeps the West Island for single-family homes and the East Island for multi-family buildings. The median home was built in 1970.
That shapes the window job. On the West Island we work on houses. On the East Island we work in apartment and condo buildings, where each window's spot on the building sets its design pressure. The town takes every permit online through Citizenserve.
