The
Florida Keys and Key West Real Estate
Imagine: Incredible Sunsets, Tropical Weather, lots of sun, Palm trees,
Balmy Nights with Soft Tropical Breezes.
The Florida Keys are often referred to as the "American Carribean" and
offer many opportunities to enjoy our beautiful waters, especially for fishing
and diving.
How about a unique array of colors: for instance, shades of Greens you never
knew existed?
How about, world-class fishing and diving within minutes of your home? How
about year round citrus, vegetables, gardens and really fresh seafood?
How about clean air, beaches and pure nature and all of this mixed in with
a laid-back Island attitude?
If all this sounds (too!) good, consider this--since we only spend a small
percentage of our lifetimes outdoors, why not make the most of it.

Key West is both a place and a state of mind. It lies about as far
away as you can go in this USA, almost part of the tropics, some four hours
and 150 miles south and west of Miami. You cross a lot of bridges
and spectacular blue and green water to get there, and when you get there
you’re only 90 miles from Cuba. Cruise ships consider a stop at Key
West part of their Caribbean itineraries!
It’s not a big place, and it is a place where real people
live. It has a year-round population of just over 26,000 and a median
resident age of 39 years. Key West also includes the neighboring communities
of Stock Island, where a lot of the remaining commercial fishing is based,
and which used to be where Key West’s supplies were “stocked” in
the 19th and early 20th centuries, and Key Haven, with wide canals and
lots of pleasure boats.
Key West has been described in about a zillion travel guides and Web sites
and the name used in countless movies as the place people want to finally
get away to. Having lived in Cudjoe Key (23 miles away) and selling
real Estate in Key West, I have a good feel for the place.
The best way to describe Key West, is a vacation place. Meaning whenever
you’re there, the ambience and atmosphere catches you up in it and
you could well be somewhere in the Bahamas or the Caribbean.
Key West is also a state of mind. You can watch sunsets from Mallory
Square on the harbor, or from the bars and restaurants on the boat basins.
You can shop or whatever on famous Duval Street. Since nobody knows
how to throw a party like Key West does, you can join in at Fantasy Fest
(think Mardi Gras) at the end of October, and see for yourself. This
is, after all, Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. Whatever you
imagine about Key West is probably true.
Or you can enjoy the reality of Key West’s other state of mind too – its
wonderful diversity, history, and creativity. Lots of writers, artists,
artisans, and musicians have always called this state of mind/special place
home, from Hemingway to the present day.
There are also plenty of areas in Key West where the locals go besides
Duval Street and the sunset bars. In fact when you get off of Duval,
you will find restaurants, art galleries, grocery stores and antique shops
in the neighborhoods, and tree-lined little streets with lots of tropical
foliage where people live.
So although you’re in one of the most popular tourist destinations
in the world, the neighborhoods here are quiet, lined with historical architecture
and have a very comfy feel. And the historic district is very compact.
You can walk everywhere.
These areas outside of Duval, in my opinion with the exception of the
Atlantic side of Duval are where the good restaurants are. Places like
Louie’s Backyard, Blue Heaven, and Michaels to name a few are
popular with the locals and the tourists who have visited here many times
and have found them. Add Café Sole, Mangia Mangia, and Antonia’s
to that list. (Café Sole is right across a quiet little street
from what just might be the best Haitian art gallery in America.) Well,
truth is, everybody’s got their favorites when it comes to restaurants
and the hidden gems you can find here. Part of the fun is walking
around and discovering them.
Key West has all kinds of options when it comes to playing outside: diving
and fishing, sailing, lying on the beach, biking and visiting historical
sites. And you can go for boatrides on the harbor, ranging from sunset
sailing schooners to fast speedboats that spin in circles.Boats and rides
tend leave from the harbor area or the boat basin(s), but there’s
a number of other options too.
Transportation
Key West international airport offers flights to Florida cities like
Miami, Ft Lauderdale and Orlando. From there you can fly anywhere
in the world.
There is a “flying boat” ferry connecting to Ft Myers (takes
a few hours), and of course Cruise ships stop here as a layover point or
destination. There is no train from or to points north.The balance
of travel back to mainland Florida is by automobile or bus on US1, known
as the Overseas Highway.You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced
rush hour in Key West – some people swear there is no such thing. Not
much, anyway.
Finally, within Key West there is little need for anything more than
your own two feet. But you can drive, and there’s decent parking
on the periphery of downtown. There are also some buses, and taxis,
of both the four-wheeled and two-legged variety! Every once in a
while somebody comes up with the idea of using boat taxis to get from Point
A to Point B, but this isn’t reliable.
