Key Biscayne is a barrier island just minutes from downtown, with beaches, two large parks, and a small village center. Waterfront homes and full-service condos make up most of the market, and the single causeway keeps through traffic low.

The lifestyle
Crandon Park, Bill Baggs, tennis, beaches, and a village center give the island a slow, outdoor rhythm, yet Brickell is only a short drive across the causeway. It feels like a getaway that happens to be minutes from the city.
Homes and prices
The market centers on oceanfront and bayfront condos and single-family homes, and the island setting carries a premium. Insurance and building specifics matter here, and we review them with you before you commit.
For international owners
Parks, beaches, and a single point of access give the island a quiet, contained feel, and Brickell is a short drive across the causeway. The market moves on both primary residences and second homes, so inventory and pricing behave differently here than on the mainland.
Good to know
How do you get to Key Biscayne?
By the Rickenbacker Causeway, roughly fifteen minutes from Brickell. It is an island, so access is by that one route, which is part of what keeps it private.
What should international buyers know about insurance here?
Coastal and island properties have specific insurance and building considerations. We flag these early and connect you with the right professionals so there are no surprises.
