FLORIDA KEYS AREA GUIDE
Key Haven gives you what Old Town can't: a single-family home on a canal, a dock and a quiet dead-end street, with Key West's restaurants, marinas and airport just minutes away.
The neighborhood sits on Raccoon Key, connected to US 1 by Key Haven Road, so there's no through traffic. Many homes back onto deep canals that lead out to the Gulf, making it a favorite of boaters and fishermen.
