Townhouse for Sale in Virginia Key, Miami

Virginia Key is a barrier island in Biscayne Bay connected by the Rickenbacker Causeway and is primarily public parkland and recreational uses (Virginia Key Beach Park, trails, marina and event venues). It has very limited residential development, so most people visit for beaches, boating, biking and nature rather than permanent living. Infrastructure and retail services are located on the mainland and access is primarily by causeway or boat, with limited public transit. The environment is subtropical coastal with mangroves and marine habitats, and the island is exposed to hurricane, storm-surge and flooding risks.

Virginia Key is primarily a public island with parks, beaches and marinas and has very limited residential housing, so it does not have a typical neighborhood housing market. Nearby Key Biscayne and Coconut Grove are among Miami’s higher-cost residential areas, making the immediate area relatively expensive compared with the Miami‑Dade County average. Visitors and residents should expect parking, event and marina fees rather than a standard local rental or sales market on the island itself.

Virginia Key has a tropical monsoon (Köppen Am) climate with hot, humid summers and warm, drier winters. The wet season is roughly May–October with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and high humidity, while the dry season is November–April with lower rainfall and milder conditions. Average summer highs are in the high 80s–low 90s °F (≈31–34°C) and winter lows in the mid‑60s–low 70s °F (≈18–23°C); the area is subject to hurricane season (June–November), peaking August–October.

Virginia Key is primarily parkland with a small resident population and does not have standalone crime statistics—incidents are recorded under Miami‑Dade County. Daytime visits are generally considered safe with regular park and police patrols, but parking areas and isolated spots have reported vehicle break‑ins and property thefts. Lighting is limited after dark and isolated violent incidents have occurred, so consult Miami‑Dade Police crime maps and park advisories for the most recent, location-specific data.
