About
Key Biscayne is a barrier island connected to the mainland by the Rickenbacker Causeway. Crandon Park occupies the north tip, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park the south, where the Cape Florida Lighthouse, rebuilt in 1846, stands. Among homes for sale on Key Biscayne, condo high-rises line Ocean Drive and Crandon Boulevard on the ocean side, while detached single-family homes fill the inner streets. Crandon Park is also home to Crandon Marina and the county tennis center, and the public can use both.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and investing in this area
What is Key Biscayne known for?
The village of Key Biscayne sits on an island, and you get there over the Rickenbacker Causeway. Crandon Park lies within it, and so does Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.
What kinds of homes are there on Key Biscayne?
Low-rise condos and detached single-family homes. The village caps building height far below what you see in mainland Miami.
What parks and facilities does Key Biscayne have?
The island's green space centers on Crandon Park and the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, and the county operates a marina and tennis center in Crandon.
What should I check before buying on Key Biscayne?
Start with the flood-zone designation and your insurance obligations, since the home sits on a barrier island. For older condo buildings, also look at how the reserves are funded.
How do you get onto Key Biscayne, off it and around it?
The Rickenbacker Causeway is the only car link to the mainland. The village is small and compact, so getting around on foot is easy.
