GULFREST PARK
Homes for Sale in Big Coppitt, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Gulfrest Park sits in Big Coppitt Key, Monroe County — close enough to Key West to draw serious demand, far enough to offer comparatively more square footage per dollar. With a median sale price of $835,000 and a median days-on-market of roughly two weeks, this is not a place where motivated sellers wait. The pace signals that buyers underwriting Monroe County waterfront or near-water inventory have already done their research before they arrive.
The inventory is small — 47 homes across a build span stretching from 1958 to 2022 — and the median living area of just over 1,000 square feet underscores that Keys pricing is driven by land, location, and resilience to storm risk, not interior square footage. Roughly 32 percent of homes carry a homestead exemption, which means a meaningful share of the stock functions as investment, vacation, or rental property. That context matters when evaluating condition, rental history, and insurance costs on any individual listing.
The 60-Second Overview
GULFREST PARK market snapshot (as of July 27, 2026): the median sale price is about $835K, and a median 15 days on market for closed sales.
GULFREST PARK is a community of 47 homes in Big Coppitt, Monroe County, built between 1958 and 2022 (median 2006.0), with a median living area of about 1,050 square feet. 32% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Gulfrest Park is a small, mixed-vintage Keys community where a median construction year around 2006 sits alongside homes that predate modern Florida building codes by decades — a detail that has direct consequences for insurance underwriting and capital planning on older stock.
Who GULFREST PARK is best for.
Best for
- A buyer with an $835,000-and-above budget, pre-approved financing, and a clear-eyed view of Monroe County insurance costs who wants proximity to Key West without Key West pricing.
- An investor comfortable underwriting Monroe County's vacation-rental regulatory framework who wants to verify — not assume — transferable rental income on a non-homesteaded property.
- A second-home buyer seeking a smaller Keys footprint who has already modeled the full carrying costs, including wind and flood insurance, and is not dependent on rental income to service the purchase.
Probably not for
- A buyer who needs a contingent-sale closing or requires more than two weeks of market time to make a decision — the median DOM signals the competition does not wait.
- A buyer whose budget peaks at the median with no reserve — older stock in this community can carry material deferred maintenance, and Monroe County insurance costs add meaningfully to annual ownership expenses.
- A buyer expecting to acquire a move-in-ready, larger living area at this price point; just over 1,000 square feet of median living space reflects Keys norms, and that figure is unlikely to change regardless of which listing is selected.

The GULFREST PARK buying strategy.
If we were buying in GULFREST PARK today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in GULFREST PARK.
What the numbers actually tell you
The two-week median DOM is the market's clearest signal: correctly priced homes in Gulfrest Park do not linger. For buyers, that means financing, inspection strategy, and Monroe County flood-zone diligence need to be organized before an offer is written, not after. The closing sample covers four transactions in the measurement window, so the median price reflects a thin but real data set — meaningful directionally, but not a substitute for a property-by-property comparative analysis.
The homestead share of roughly 31 percent tells a buyer that non-homesteaded properties dominate the street. That cuts two ways: it opens the door to properties with established short-term rental history, but it also means buyers should scrutinize each listing for deferred maintenance common in investment-held stock, verify any claimed rental income independently, and factor Monroe County's regulatory environment for vacation rentals into their underwriting before assuming rental income is transferable.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in GULFREST PARK. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Monroe County transactions carry layers that mainland closings do not: flood zone classifications, wind mitigation reports, county rental licensing, and insurance markets that can shift a deal's economics more than the negotiated price. Momentum Realty's Northeast Florida foundation is built on waterfront and coastal market execution, and we apply that same transactional discipline to Florida Keys inventory — helping buyers stress-test the full cost of ownership, not just the contract price, before they commit.
