The Top Five Reasons to Live in the Florida Keys!

As a Florida Keys real estate professional, a large part of my job is to sell the area I service as rigorously as I sell the properties within it. The more drawn to an area a buyer is, the more likely it is that they will potentially buy a home there. In order for me to successfully serve my seller clients and get Florida Keys home buyers interested in purchasing their property, I have to be knowledgeable about my area and forthcoming about what makes the area such a great place to live.

Throughout my many years of service as a Florida Keys real estate agent, I have discovered that there are quite a few qualities that distinguish the area as a great place to live and work. These are the five that those who relocate here find to be the most enticing:

The weather. This one seems too obvious, but think about it: instead of being stuck with snow flurries and icy winds, wouldn’t you rather be somewhere that is mild year-round? Sure, we have a hurricane season, but overall the sun shines and the weather is perfect for sitting poolside. You really CAN live in paradise, should you choose to move to the Florida Keys.

There is plenty of housing available. I’ll be the first one to admit that housing in the Florida Keys isn’t terribly affordable. The real estate here is expensive, but when you’re in such close proximity to the ocean, prices will be higher than average. The good news is that there is a variety of housing options available, so you can find one that works in your price range. Real estate agents are abound in the keys, and they can help you find a nice place. Alternative housing styles, like boat living, are common, and there are several distressed properties on the market if you’re looking for something a little less expensive.

The employment rate is high. There are plenty of jobs up for grabs in the Florida Keys area, so you need not worry about finding employment. Our tourism industry is strong, and as a result many different types of local businesses thrive year-round. The “Mom and Pop” stores do well in our area. There are always businesses for sale, and you’ll find a lot of work opportunities out here.

It’s ideal for those who prefer an active OR relaxed lifestyle. One of the greatest components of living in the Florida Keys is that they’re islands. You are surrounded by water. This is the ideal climate for a variety of people. Whether you have an adventurous streak and want to partake in the variety of water sports offered in the area or you would rather have a relaxing ocean view and peaceful day at the beach, you can find it in the Keys.

There is always something to do. “Boredom” is not a word that you hear associated with our area. Festivals, races and fishing tournaments keep the calendar full of fun-filled events all year round, so if you’re looking for something to do, you need only look at what the Keys have planned next. The vibrant and vivacious lifestyle found in the area creates an upbeat and positive atmosphere. It makes living here nothing short of a blast.

If you have any questions about what life is like in the Florida Keys, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask! I’d be happy to share all of the information that I have with you and help you find the right home for your lifestyle and needs. I hope to hear from you soon!

  5. Last summer, my girlfriends and I went on the most relaxing vacation in the Florida Keys. We found an incredible rental in the awesome Ocean Reef Community in Key Largo. Elaine knew Bob from Swenson & Ecuyer Realty and he found us this perfect condo right on the breathtaking Marina. Bob and his team provided excellent concierge service, that catered to our every needs. We did everything... scuba diving, tennis, sailing, golfing, etc.. The experience was amazing! You should check them out at www.swensonrealty.com or call 3053673600.

  6. Ask for references, contact the licensing board of your state, talk to fellow business owners who have worked with that particular broker in the past, and visit the office of the attorney general of your state to determine if the broker is registered with that agency.
