Key Biscayne is the barrier island where a U.S. president once kept his Winter White House, and where residents today enjoy a resort-town pace just four miles from downtown Miami. Connected to the mainland solely by the Rickenbacker Causeway, the island offers wide bike paths, salt air, and a low-rise skyline unlike anything else in South Florida. Virginia Key sits between the island and the city, softening the transition and adding a layer of natural calm. Crandon Boulevard anchors the main strip of dining and shopping, while state parkland caps both ends of the island.
Rental options lean toward upscale waterfront condominiums, mid-rise apartment communities with bay or ocean views, and single-family rental homes on quiet residential streets. Spanish Revival, ranch-style, and contemporary architectural styles are all represented across the rental stock, regardless of the type.
