 Points of InterestKeystone Heights
Why do people choose to move to Keystone Heights, Florida? Is it because the city has a population of 1409 people and only 2 traffic lights? Could it be that the elementary school is among few public elementary schools in Florida to receive a distinguished Great Schools Rating of 8 out of 10 and earned an A in the school accountability report card.
Maybe it is the fact that it has its own general aviation airport with two 5000+ foot runways
