Florida Keys
The Florida Keys are a wilderness of flowering jungles and shimmering seas, a jade necklace of
mangrove-fringed islands dangling toward the tropics. But they are also a string of narrow islands,
overburdened by a growing population and booming tourism, that feeds the
apartment Florida Key rental industry. Unfortunately, in the Keys
you can't have one without the other.
The Keys were only sparsely populated until the early 20th century. In 1905, however, railroad magnate
Henry Flagler began building the extension of his Florida railroad south from Homestead to Key West.
His goal was to establish a rail link to his steamships that sailed between Key West and Havana, just
90 miles across the Straits of Florida. The railroad arrived at Key West in 1912 and remained a lifeline
of commerce until the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 washed out much of its roadbed. The Overseas Highway,
built over the railroad's old roadbeds and bridges, was completed in 1938.
Apartment Florida Key rental property is not as abundant here as in the mainland, obviously because of a
land limitation factor.
At the top of the Keys, nearest the mainland, is Key Largo, becoming more and more congested as it evolves
into an apartment Florida Key rental community and weekend escape for mainland residents. At the bottom,
106 miles southwest, is Key West.
In 1990, to protect the area's ecosystem, Congress established the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary,
covering 2,800 square nautical miles of coastal waters. Adjacent to the Keys landmass are nationally
significant marine environments, including sea-grass meadows, mangrove islands, and extensive living coral
reefs. These fragile environments support rich and diverse biological communities.
As you drive down U.S. 1, the main artery between Key Largo and Key West, gaze out over the silvery
Atlantic and its still-living reef, with Florida Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and the backcountry on your
right. At a few points the ocean and gulf are as much as 10 miles apart. In most places, however, they're
from 1 to 4 miles apart, and on the narrowest landfill islands, the only thing separating them is the road
itself. Sunsets at apartment Florida Key rental condos are a pure, unadulterated spectacle that each
evening attracts thousands of visitors and locals to the waterfront throughout the Keys.
If you are looking for an apartment Florida Key rental, a cabin rental Florida, or any other rental home
in Florida, you have arrived to the right place. Go through the complete description of our property
owners, the many detailed pictures, and amenities and nearby attractions listed on each and every condo,
studio, house or villa and make your decision. Remember though, this is a hot area and a hot market during
the winter season, obviously because of the great weather, so plan ahead and book your apartment Florida
Key rental unit as early and advanced as possible.
