Key Haven
Key Haven is the more upscale boating community in Key West. Sitting
right on the outskirts of the island of Key West, Key Haven is home to many
of Key West’s prominent business people. The homes will be larger
and more costly, but Key Haven offers it all. Key West, privacy, quiet,
large lots, all in a very high end neighborhood, what else could you need? Very
few of the homes in Key Haven will sell under $1M and some are valued at $4M
plus.

Originally named Raccoon Key, Key Haven is an island in the lower Florida Keys
about a mile east of the island of Key West. It is an unincorporated suburb
of greater Key West, and houses approximately a thousand residents. The city
limits of Key West on northern Stock Island are separated from Key Haven by
a channel about a quarter mile wide.
It is off of the northeast side of Stock Island, and connected by fill to U.S.
Route 1 (the Overseas Highway) via Key Haven Road, its primary road, just east
of mile marker 5.
Key Haven was chosen as the location of The Real World Key West, which appeared
in 2006.[1] The Real World home is located at the end of Driftwood Drive.[2]
The island being only 2-3 ft above the high tide mark, was literally covered
with 4-5 ft of seawater from the 8 ft storm surge of Hurricane Wilma on October
24, 2005. Just about every car on the island was destroyed, and many homes
damaged
