Keys Gate offers frontier spirt in South Florida

One of mainland Florida's southernmost neighborhoods, Keys Gate comprises several smaller subdivisions and gated communities, offering a mixture of freestanding homes, town houses and condos. The area sits right on the edge of the city of Homestead and leans into this frontier spirit.

Butterflies, basketball and Biscayne Bay

To enjoy Florida’s sub-tropical climate, take a stroll through Tim & Dr. June Craig Butterfly Park, a private park full of flowering plants carefully curated to attract dozens of butterfly species and other native pollinators. For a more active outdoor experience, head to Mayor Roscoe Warren Municipal Park for the sports fields, playground and dog park or Audubon Park, which offers basketball courts, tennis courts, a playground and paved walking paths for residents to enjoy. As the name suggests, Homestead Bayfront Park offers waterfront access to Biscayne Bay National Park and the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary, with a large marina and boat launch.

Head out from the park into Biscayne Bay to explore the coral reefs or spend a day looking for dolphins, manatees and other native wildlife. If you’re staying on the shore, the park features its own oceanfront restaurant and natural atoll pool, a protected swimming area complete with beach and palm trees. Learn more about the neighboring 173,000 acres of Biscayne Bay National Park at the Dante Fascell Visitor Center, with exhibits about the local environment and regular kayak, snorkeling and scuba tours of the park’s natural wonders.
