Neighborhoods Within Lost Key

The Enclave and Magnolia Village

The Enclave is one of the more established pockets inside Lost Key, featuring larger lot sizes and homes built primarily in the early 2000s. Magnolia Village offers a slightly more compact footprint with homes that appeal to buyers who want lower maintenance without giving up the gated setting. Both sections connect directly to the community's internal trail system and are within a short walk of the resort-style pool and tennis facilities.

Waterfront Streets

Streets such as Portside Drive and Schooner Lane offer direct water access to Old River, which connects to Perdido Bay and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Homes here frequently include private docks, and boat owners can reach open water in under 15 minutes. These lots command a significant premium and represent the upper tier of the Lost Key market.
