Keys Gate: A Unique Community in the City of Homestead

Keys Gate is a hometown community within the City of Homestead.  The 13 developments are located in the lush tropical southeastern portion of the city immediately surrounded by community and city parks, multiple crystal blue lakes and Biscayne & Everglades National Parks.  Originally developed in the 1980s by a Canadian Company, Keys Gate has blossomed into a community of over 3000 homes averaging 2500 square feet and featuring amenities the 21st Century home buyers have come expect.

Keys Gate amenities include privately gated entrances with 24-hour roving security, in-house monitored alarm systems by AT&T Protection One, AT&T U-verse cable with more than 300 channels including HBO and Cinemax and high speed internet access all included in the HOA fee.  Everyone can also enjoy the community tennis courts next to the Keys Gate Golf Club.  Some communities provide amenities like Gate Security Guards, community pools, landscape and building maintenance.

There's only one Homeowners Association (HOA), Keys Gate Community Association (KGCA), and only one HOA fee that is competitively priced.  This unique HOA setup allows the community to negotiate bulk rate contracts that provide services to the residents at significantly reduced prices. Other communities in South Florida have multiple associations and fee structures that exponentially increase administrative and maintenance costs. There's also no Community Development District (CDD) since Keys Gate's main infrastructure was built in the 1980s.  Not having this and other underlying taxing districts significantly reduces homeowners' property taxes making Keys Gate one of the few planned urban developments (PUD) in South Florida without this tax burden.

Other amenities are the Keys Gate Charter Schools, K-8 and High School,  providing excellent educational opportunities to the children in the community.  Homestead Baptist Hospital is a stones throw away from the community providing healthcare services to residents in a brand new state of the art facility. Homestead Pavilion provides excellent shopping and multiple restaurants to suit everyone's tastes and budget. Downtown Homestead's Historic District provides the opportunity to explore the rich history of the city while also enjoying the art galleries, restaurants, and antique shops.
