Tavernier
The heart of the Upper Keys. Easy access to both the Atlantic and Florida Bay, charming local restaurants, and the home of the COMPASS office in the Keys.
Tavernier sits at the geographic center of the Upper Keys, just south of Key Largo and north of Islamorada. It is a versatile community that offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the Atlantic Ocean for deep-sea fishing and diving, plus the calm waters of Florida Bay for backcountry adventures. The Tavernier ZIP code 33070 covers the area from Mile Marker 94 to 90, including the local COMPASS office.
The COMPASS office in the Florida Keys is located right here at 90144 Overseas Hwy #1. This is the exclusive COMPASS presence in the Keys, and it reflects the growing demand for sophisticated real estate services in the Upper Keys market.
Tavernier's real estate includes canal-front homes, bayfront properties with stunning sunset views, and island cottages with Old Keys character. Median prices typically range from $1.0 to $1.1 million, offering relative value compared to Key Largo while delivering comparable waterfront access and lifestyle.
Local favorites include the Old Tavernier Restaurant, Dillon's Pub and Grill, and Habanos on the Creek. The Tavernier area is also home to several marinas and boat ramps, making it a convenient base for boaters exploring both oceans.
