Billy Joel says "some folks like to get away" from New York and "hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood."

He, on the other hand, prefers a Greyhound bus ride on the "Hudson River line," which may explain why Joel's dumping his Miami Beach mansion located on luxurious La Gorce Island.

Today, America's favorite "Piano Man" is celebrating his 63rd birthday by listing his 8,881-square-foot mansion on the open market. And for a cool $14.75 million, you can own 82 La Gorce Crescent.




According to The Real Estalker, Joel bought the waterfront home in 2006 for $13.5 million, presumably all cash, through an LLC.

The Mediterranean-style crib sits on a 0.67-acre lot and 150 feet of Biscayne Bay. It features seven bedrooms and eight-and-a-half bathrooms, plus a chef's kitchen, wine cellar, and home office.

Some of Joel's past neighbors included Cher and Maurice Gibbs of the Bee Gees. Perhaps his coolest neighbor, though, is Lil Wayne.

Check out some of listing pictures below.
