Choosing the Right Island for You - Part 3

Choosing amongst the different islands for Florida Keys real estate is an important, and oftentimes quite difficult, decision. Since each island has unique characteristics that will greatly impact your lifestyle, make sure to consider elements such as how much privacy you are looking for, as well as how close you need to be to the hubs of Keys civilization.

An important consideration is the level of privacy or seclusion that you wish to have, as some islands in the Keys offer much privacy, and others are more bustling. Real estate in Key Largo, Islamorada, and Marathon is often very dense, with these areas having a much higher population than other areas. Conversely, some homes are in areas that are completely private or in highly exclusive neighborhoods. Shark Key homes, for example, are located on an exclusive, gated island that offers complete privacy and security. Those looking for the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity can purchase an entire island - yes this is possible! This allows residents to have their own private island of real estate, such as the islands for sale in Tom's Harbor.

Another level of decision-making comes when figuring out how close you want to live to hospitals, shops, and other necessary supply stores. The main hubs for these places are Key Largo, Marathon, and Key West. The further you live from one of these hot spots, the longer it takes to acquire supplies or health care when it is needed. Real estate that is closer to these vital stops can add value to your home property.

While moving to the Keys is an exciting prospect, finding your perfect Florida Keys home can be a long and involved process. It is important to your future happiness to determine what your priorities are in buying Keys real estate. If you take your time and work with the right real estate professional like Shoreline Properties, you will find your perfect spot and love your life in the Florida Keys!
