Choosing the Right Island for You - Part 2

When buying Florida Keys real estate, the first choice is which Key is right for you. We all have different priorities and things that we look for in our surroundings and neighborhoods, and it is important to factor this into your search. Once you decide between the Upper, Middle, and Lower Florida Keys, prospective real estate buyers should look at how much they are willing to spend. Your budget will truly dictate your search. While one can often find a variety of real estate prices on individual islands, some of the Keys offer more luxury or affordable real estate than others.

Luxury homes in the Florida Keys are evenly spread throughout. Real estate in Key Colony Beach Estates, Mariner's Club, and Ocean Reef Club are the pinnacle of luxury in the Keys. Another exclusive area of the Florida Keys is Islamorada, a region comprised of six different islands. Neighborhoods such as Angler’s Reef, Plantation Key Colony, Sunshine Estates, White Marlin Beach, and Boatman’s Colony offer luxury homes in Islamorada. Real estate in Cudjoe Key, Sugarloaf Key, and Conch Key can also be extremely luxurious. Homes for sale in Keys neighborhoods like Summerland Beach and Yacht Club Island typically sell for millions of dollars. It is important to remember, however, that every area offers a mix of more affordable real estate in the Keys, and no area should be excluded from your search - no matter your budget.

More affordable homes for sale in the Keys can be found in neighborhoods that are a little further from the water and offer great value.
