Key Biscayne is a barrier island just minutes from downtown, with beaches, two large parks, and a tight-knit, resort-like community. Waterfront homes and full-service condos draw families and international owners who want privacy close to the city.

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 families and international owners
Safety, schools, and a genuine community make it a long-time favorite for families, including many from Latin America and Europe who keep it as a primary or second home.
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.
