If you want a quiet base with saltwater at the doorstep and no big-city sprawl, this is that kind of address.

Buttonwood Bay FAQs
Is Buttonwood Bay a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, water-oriented neighborhood in the Upper Keys, well suited to boaters and anyone who wants a slow-paced saltwater lifestyle. You're close to Plantation Key and the wider Tavernier community, with easy access to the water and local resorts. It trades privacy and pace for the buzz of a bigger town.
Is Buttonwood Bay expensive?+
Yes — this is premium Keys real estate. The median sold price over the past 12 months was $1,200,000, which is consistent with waterfront-oriented living in the Upper Keys. Expect seven-figure pricing when a home becomes available.
What do homes cost in Buttonwood Bay?+
There are no active listings at the moment, so there's no current list price to quote. The best recent benchmark is the three homes sold over the last 12 months at a median of $1,200,000. Watch the live map for the next listing.
How is the market in Buttonwood Bay?+
It's a low-inventory, low-turnover market — just three homes sold in the past year and zero active right now. Sellers averaged about 97% of asking, so pricing stays firm and well-positioned homes move without deep discounts. Buyers should be pre-approved and ready to act quickly.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have current HOA or property tax figures on file for Buttonwood Bay given how few homes have traded recently. Costs in the Keys can include flood insurance and waterfront-specific considerations, so budget beyond the sale price. Ask us to pull the specifics on any Tavernier home you're considering.
