Why Crandon Tower matters
It is a small building in the middle of Key Biscayne, with 28 residences, all of the same type. Four two-bedroom homes share each of seven floors. The plans are close in size; compare by floor, exposure and renovation.
The building is on Crandon Boulevard, the main road of the island, within walking distance of Village Green, the town center and the island's shopping.
Key Biscayne
Key Biscayne is a barrier island reached from the mainland by the Rickenbacker Causeway. It became the Village of Key Biscayne in 1991. Crandon Boulevard runs the length of the island: Crandon Park and its beach are to the north, and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, with its lighthouse and beach, is at the south end. Village Green is the center of the village, with the island's retail and restaurants around it.
The island is about a 15- to 25-minute drive from Brickell and Downtown Miami, depending on traffic on the causeway. There is no Metrorail or Metromover on the island.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is seven stories with four residences per floor. All residences are two-bedroom plans of about 1,040 to 1,090 square feet, with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies. Interior condition varies; ask about the work done inside each unit.
Building operations
The amenities are a pool and a lobby intercom system. Parking is assigned. The building has a shared laundry room, and some residences have their own washer and dryer.
Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more stories; ask for the inspection report, the reserve study and any assessment history. Also ask about the reserve balance, the elevator and roof condition, and any planned special assessments. The site is in flood zone AE, so ask for the elevation certificate and current flood insurance cost.
Policy framework
Pet, rental and minimum-lease rules are set by the association; confirm at offer stage.
Sales context
One recorded sale, July 2025, at $815,000. It is one sale, not a building price. The plans are close in size; compare by floor, view and renovation.
Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
What to know if you're buying at Crandon Tower

Ask what has been replaced. Plumbing, electrical and windows.
Check in-unit laundry. Some residences have it and some rely on the shared room.
Get the rental terms. Get the leasing rules in writing.

Recorded sales history
Recorded transfers for this building in Miami-Dade County public records, back to Feb 1973. Prices reflect the recorded consideration; transfers the Property Appraiser does not qualify as arms-length are shown unmarked.

Recording lags closing, so the newest sales can take several weeks to appear.
