The village is connected to Miami via two bridges that lead you to the well-named “Paradise Island.”
I also live in the island, even though my job is very demanding, living in Key Biscayne is like being on vacation every day. It is self-governed and the crime rate is zero. I remember back when I had just moved to the Key from South America, on the front page of the local newspaper there was an article about a mother duck and her ducklings crossing the street and delaying traffic. For me, coming from streets where fear and violence was a daily occurrence, it was like a dream to live in such a peaceful and coastal county.
Key Biscayne is also considered a world-class resort community and premier vacation destination. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Cape Florida is consistently ranked among the top 10 best beaches in America. The island is seven miles long and two miles wide.

It is considered one of the most exclusive areas to live in and has one of the highest incomes per capita in the U.S.
