Welcome to Key Biscayne

On an island just below Miami Beach, the Village of Key Biscayne is a pocket of paradise. This charming neighborhood is nestled between two state parks, the Atlantic Ocean, and Biscayne Bay. Although the Village’s former coconut plantations have been replaced by luxury condos, no amount of development can disturb the vibrant, laid-back island culture of Key Biscayne.

Today, its residents, lush setting, and community art installations make it a rich and colorful place to live.

The lifestyle:
Insular and community-driven, yet welcoming and accessible.

Boating, fishing, snorkeling, biking, tennis, paddle boarding—just name a sport and you’ll find teammates. The universities, art centers, and urban attractions of Miami are only a short car ride away, yet the Rickenbacker Causeway represents a four-mile buffer between the fast-paced metropolis and their own relaxing haven. For oceanfront dining, the Rusty Pelican Restaurant is the place to go for turquoise waters and pink skies at sunset.

Unexpected appeal:
Trading exhaust fumes for a salty sea breeze.

The same infrastructure that protects Key Biscayne’s island vibe can fill up with traffic during world-class events like the Miami Open Tennis Tournament and the annual Boat Show. Fortunately, most year-round residents don’t depend on cars to get around; they take golf carts, the island’s most popular mode of transportation. During rush hour on the road, the locals’ kayaks, jet skis, and motorboats cruise beneath the causeway as the traffic grinds above.
