Key Haven is an unincorporated community on Raccoon Key, an island in the lower Florida Keys about a mile (1.6 km) east of the island of Key West. It is a suburb of greater Key West, and houses around a thousand residents. The city limits of Key West on northern Stock Island are separated from Key Haven by a channel about a quarter mile (400 m) wide.
It lies off the northeast side of Stock Island, and is connected by fill to U.S. 1 (the Overseas Highway) via , its primary road, just east of mile marker 5.
Key Haven was chosen as the location of The Real World Key West, which appeared in 2006.[1] The Real World home is located at the end of Driftwood Drive.[2]
The island, being only 2–3 ft (61–91 cm) above the high tide mark, was covered with 4–5 ft (1.2–1.5 m) of seawater from the 8 ft (2.4 m) storm surge of Hurricane Wilma on October 24, 2005. Nearly every car on the island was destroyed, and many homes were damaged.
