Key West, Florida-Insights

Key West is known for its sun-drenched shores which provide a backdrop for living, working and relaxing in a diverse cultural setting. Situated only 90 miles from Cuba, Key West is the nation's "Caribbean" island. Located in the lovely turquoise water between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, the island is bathed in the warmth of a tropical sun, tempered by ocean breezes and the shade of lush, tropical foliage. A truly romantic destination, rich in history, culture, and natural treasures.

Key West has something for everybody and of course we can find the RIGHT real estate for you!

The island's proximity to Cuba and the Caribbean has molded its history, and continues to influence its current culture. It has been host to New England sailors, Spanish conquistadors, Bahamian salvagers, and Cuban shipwrights. History buffs can spend countless hours learning about the island where real estate titles issue from the King of Spain, unique architecture dates back to the mid-eighteen hundreds, and Civil and Spanish American war memorabilia abound.

For water lovers, Key West is protected from the seas by the only barrier reef in North America. The reef provides divers and snorkelers with breathtaking sights of corals and a profusion of brilliantly colored tropical fish. Just beyond the reef runs the Gulf Stream, a powerful ocean current that is home to spectacular game fish, along with Wood’s Wall, the underwater escarpment known to game fishermen as a great place to catch blue marlin.

The climate, architecture, and relaxed atmosphere of this little island have made it a magnet for artists of all types. Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and Larry Shames are just a few of the writers that have called Key West Home, and the island is still home to more than its share of well-known writers. Art galleries are plentiful in these few square miles, and they are filled with the works of renowned local, national, and international artists. With three performing arts theaters, a symphony, a successful annual literary seminar, as well as the music writer’s festival, there is plenty to keep the patrons of the arts busy.
