Cedar Key Real Estate: Island Living on Florida's Gulf Coast

Cedar Key is an island town at the end of State Road 24, small enough to walk end to end in under an hour. It's known for seafood, sunsets, a lively arts community and the working waterfront that grows most of Florida's farm-raised clams.

Cedar Key market snapshot (October 2026)

About 100 properties are for sale with a Cedar Key address, from lots near $20,000 to homes near $1.5 million, with an average asking price around $360,000. That includes historic homes and condos on the island and homes and acreage on the mainland along SR 24.

Living in Cedar Key

  • A clam town. Clam farming took off here in the 1990s, and Cedar Key now produces more than 90% of Florida's farmed clams.
  • Festivals. The Cedar Key Seafood Festival fills the streets each October, the Arts Festival comes in March, and the Fourth of July doubles as "Clamerica."
  • History close by. Cedar Key Museum State Park tells the island's story, and boat tours visit Atsena Otie Key, the original town site abandoned after a hurricane in the 1890s.
  • On the water. Kayak rentals, fishing guides and boat tours to the outer keys are all a short walk from the docks.

Know before you buy

Helene pushed a record 9.3-foot storm tide into Cedar Key in September 2024, breaking the record Idalia set the year before. The town has been rebuilding, and its Seafood Festival was back on the calendar in October 2026, but elevation, flood zone and insurance should be at the top of every buyer's list.

Build your custom island home on this fabulous water front lot, and enjoy a spectacular sunset view over the shimmering Gulf! A new subdivision in the island city of Cedar Key, "Piney Pointe at Cedar Key" boasts the best unobstructed westerly views of the Gulf, and the distant uninhabited islands. Place your new elevated home in the middle of this nearly-square water front lot, and you will enjoy good privacy, even if the adjoining lots are later improved. With beautiful Cedar trees and palms dotted throughout the property, you will still have room for a nice swimming pool and a raised garden, if you like. Build a boat dock, hang your boat, and when the urge strikes you can be fishing in just minutes! Not really into fishing? Boating around our islands is fabulous--bring a picnic and a book! Plant an umbrella and enjoy the afternoon on an unspoiled piece of paradise. Or you could launch your kayak from your own private beach and paddle around the island--through the mangrove channels and shell bars, soaking up the sun and the salt. Golf carts are legal on city streets on the island, and the quiet, slowed pace works well here. From your private compound, you can be downtown in just minutes: visiting the bakery, coffee shop, smoothie shop, library, art center, post office, bank, restaurants and bars. Don't miss this great chance to begin a new chapter--life on an island, on Florida's "Nature Coast," where you can enjoy an unspoiled piece of Old Florida without traffic woes and city hustle. We live on island time here, and it is so good for the soul!
