Casey Key

Casey Key is a barrier island on the West Coast of Florida, south of Sarasota. Casey Key is approximately 8 miles in length, stretching from Siesta Key on the north to the Island of Venice at the southern tip. Most of the island is less than 300 yards wide, lined by the beach on the west side and the bay on the east side. Real Estate on Casey Key consists almost entirely of single-family homes, with no hi-rises. The Island will remain this way due to current zoning restrictions, and the fact that the majority of the island is a conservation district, established in the early 1970's by the Florida State Legislature. Two bridges provide access to the key, including an old "swing bridge" dating back to the 1920's. At the south end is the Venice Inlet, providing easy access to the Gulf. Ground elevations on Casey Key are generally higher than most barrier islands, which is highly beneficial to its homeowners.

Casey Key properties normally range in price from around $800,000 to over $8 million. Sales in recent years include the highest-priced single family residence to sell in Sarasota County, which sold for $8.5 million.
