Key Colony market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $512K ($291 per sq ft), with homes averaging 116 days on market and 6.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Values are up 9% over the past year and up 60% since 2016, based on 4 recent closings in live Daytona-area MLS data.
Key Colony is a gated planned community of about 68 single-family homes on Key Colony Court in Daytona Beach Shores, Volusia County (ZIP 32118), built beginning in 1996 (floridaforboomers.com and ronsellsthebeach.com, 2026). The homes are Key West-style, concrete-block with crushed-shell stucco and white barrel-tile roofs, generally three-bedroom layouts in the roughly 1,300 to 2,400 square foot range, with most around 1,600 to 1,814 square feet.
It is an interior barrier-island location, not directly oceanfront or riverfront: the community sits a block from the Atlantic and a block from the Halifax River, with a covered pedestrian overpass across A1A to the beach at The Shores Resort and Spa (floridaforboomers.com, 2026). The setting blends a single-family home with condo-style conveniences.
This is a residential community, not a vacation rental: it is a single-family HOA with no evidence of nightly or weekly rental operations, and the reported monthly dues, around $220, fund lawn care, irrigation, exterior common-area maintenance, the pool, the tennis and pickleball court, and the gate (floridaforboomers.com, 2026). Confirm the current dues and the minimum-lease rule with the manager. Because these are single-family homes, the Florida condo milestone-inspection and structural-reserve law does not apply, a meaningful contrast with the older oceanfront condo towers nearby.
Pricing is a mid-to-upper Shores tier for detached homes, with active listings recently around $449,000 to $599,000 and recent sales in the roughly $428,000 to $505,000 range (William Raveis, Redfin, and Zillow, 2022 to 2026). Do not confuse it with Key Colony Beach, a separate incorporated city in the Florida Keys.
