Overview
About Stock Island
Stock Island sits immediately east of Key West and remains one of the Keys’ genuine working waterfronts, with commercial fishing docks and marinas alongside newer residential and hospitality development.
It is home to the College of the Florida Keys and the Key West Golf Club, and it is only minutes from Key West by car or bicycle.
Typical property: Condominiums, townhomes and some single-family homes, including newer construction, generally at lower prices than comparable homes in Key West.
