Casey Key
One of Florida's most prestigious addresses is Casey Key. Fewer than 400 privileged residents dwell on this narrow, eight-mile island stretching from Siesta Key on the north to the Island of Venice at the southern tip, between the Gulf of Mexico and Blackburn Bay only 15 minutes south of Sarasota.
Casey Key consists almost entirely of single-family homes. Homes here exude a unique blending of wealth, elegance and old-Florida charm. Conservative, tasteful architecture reigns supreme, with few exceptions. Land use is restricted to single-family residences, many of them sprawling Gulf-to-Bay estates. The Key's pristine natural environment and wildlife are protected by legislation. With some of the highest land values on Florida's west coast, Casey Key affords residents a picture perfect island lifestyle. There are no hi-rises or traffic jams. Amazingly, the key will remain this way due to current zoning restrictions.
