Cudjoe Key Real Estate
There are a number of (perhaps apocryphal)stories
of how Cudjoe got its unusual name. Many Cudjoe streets are named after either famous or amazingly obscure
pirates, which might include a Mr. Cudjoe. Another story has the island described
in 19th century Key West scuttlebutt as the location of ”Cousin Joe’s” woodcutting
and charcoal-making place, of which there were quite a few in the Lower Keys.
Whatever its history Cudjoe is a quiet and peaceful residential island surrounding its own bay, probably the best bay in the area for water sports. The island’s fishhook appearance and bay are such distinctive features that they can be seen easily in satellite pictures.
Cudjoe Key provides a wide variety of housing ranging from ocean front executive homes to both Keys standard canal homes and some extraordinary ones, to the upscale gated mobile home park, Venture Out, on Cudjoe's eastern shore. All waterfront properties on the island, including Venture Out, have become expensive.
Nearly all the homes are on the Atlantic side of the Overseas Highway.
Boating access on Cudjoe is excelent , almost no matter where you
reside. Boating drafts generally range from 2-4 feet, but some canals
on the fishhook are narrow and have shallow entrances to Cudjoe Bay.
Eastside canals are also narrow and open onto shallow water. The
more expensive Cudjoe Gardens housing area at the west end of the
island has much bigger and deeper canals that will accommodate large
boats.
