Duck Key
Gated canal community + Hawks Cay Resort.
A series of connected islands built around deepwater canals and Hawks Cay Resort. Duck Key is a premium address in the Middle Keys for buyers who want a polished, boat-centric lifestyle.
Resort-adjacent, gated, and quiet. Four connected islands with private canals and manicured common areas. Feels more like a master-planned community than the rest of the Keys.
Second-home buyers who want concierge-adjacent amenities, boaters needing deep protected dockage, and families drawn to Hawks Cay Resort's activity programs.
Canal-front single-family homes (most on piling), a handful of bayfront estates, and select condo product. Lot sizes are generally larger than typical Keys subdivisions.
Most homes are canal-front with concrete docks. Canal depths are generally consistent and maintained. Access to the Atlantic is a short run past the Hawks Cay basin.
Tightly held. Days on market skew low when priced at neighborhood comps. Deed restrictions and community rules vary by pocket — verify before assuming use.
