Key West: island life at the end of the road
The southernmost city in the continental US — wooden conch houses, boats instead of cars and a market unlike anywhere else in Florida.

Key WestWho this is for
For those drawn to island life, boats and historic houses rather than new construction
Key West lies 160 miles past Miami at the end of the Overseas Highway, closer to Havana than to Fort Lauderdale. The island is four miles long, and that shapes everything: land is finite, the historic district is protected, and what sells is more often a wooden house from the 1800s than a new tower. Life runs on boats, bicycles and golf carts.
