Insider Notes from Ricky
  • Governors Lodge is a 3-story low-rise at 300 Sunrise Dr, Key Biscayne, FL 33149, built 1963. Currently 1 active listing on the market, with active asking prices ranging up to $399K.
  • Neighborhood: Key Biscayne. Key Biscayne is connected to Miami by the Rickenbacker Causeway (4-mile drive with toll booths), separately incorporated as the Village of Key Biscayne in 1991. Top-rated public schools, state park access (Bill Baggs Cape Florida + Crandon), and the Miami Open tennis tournament. Suburban-island feel, 10 minutes from Brickell.
  • Buyer profile here: Family buyers prioritizing public schools, empty-nesters wanting beachfront-island lifestyle without resort-intensity, sailing/golf/tennis-driven decisions.
  • Built 1963 (now 63 years old) -- past Florida's 25-year structural recertification trigger.
  • Value-tier inventory with active asking prices up to $399K.
  • At 3 stories, Governors Lodge is low-rise scale -- fewer total units typically means a more intimate building feel.
  • Compared anchor: Compared to Fisher Island (private, ferry-only, no public access), Key Biscayne is connected to the mainland and has commercial/school infrastructure.
  • Rental rules vary per association in this market -- most Miami-Dade condos require 6 or 12-month minimum leases. Verify per-association before assuming Airbnb potential.
  • Pre-offer diligence: Causeway tolls run $40-$80/month for residents with SunPass. Rush-hour timing matters for primary-residence buyers commuting to Brickell.
  • Ricky has worked the Key Biscayne market for years and can pull HOA documents, recent comps, and reserve study status on any unit you're considering. Text (305) 33-RICKY -- that's (305) 337-4259 -- for a same-week walk-through.
What to Verify
Flood Zone: This unit is in flood zone AE. High-risk flood zone (Special Flood Hazard Area). Federal flood insurance required for federally-backed mortgages.
Building Age: Built in 1963 (63 years old) — past Florida's 40-year recertification trigger; verify milestone status.
Ricky will verify all of the above with the HOA before closing.
💰 Current Owner's Cost Basis
The current owner bought this unit Jan 2000 for $128,000 — held 26 years. They’re now asking $399,000+211.7% (+$271,000) vs. cost basis.
Source: most recent qualified deed on file with the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser.
🏛 Property Tax Reset
The current owner pays approximately $3,827/yr in property tax thanks to a $171,569 Save Our Homes assessment cap (Florida shelters long-time owners from market-value increases). On purchase, your assessment resets to full market value — expect roughly $7,258/yr, about 1.9× the current owner’s bill. Estimate uses Miami-Dade’s ~2% effective millage; your actual bill depends on the millage in the year you close and any homestead exemption you may qualify for.
