Indian Creek Village, a secluded island community in South Florida, is distinguished by its long-standing and rigorously enforced land development regulations.

These regulations, which have roots dating back to 1939, are detailed and extensive, covering various aspects of property ownership and development. They are designed to preserve the affluent and private nature of the community for its residents, who are among the wealthiest in the region.
The scope of these rules includes requirements for property size, construction standards, and landscaping. Specific restrictions are in place, such as a prohibition on helipads.
