If you're in it for the short term, or just want to try it out for a season or two, renting may be the way to go. There are plenty of houses, apartments, and condos for lease. Apartments are sometimes part of a private compound and may include a shared pool and common area. Low-income housing is available, but sometimes hard to find.

If you are looking to buy, you will have plenty of options. Prices will vary depending upon the area of town (the Old Town area is more expensive), type of house or condo, and the amenities that come along with it.

Commercial properties are also available as are short and long term office rentals.

A visit to paradise may be all that you want. A vacation rental is often a nice alternative to staying in a hotel or resort. Availability will depend on the area and your length of stay.

Real estate is big business in Key West, and real estate companies and agents abound. Many of them have links, with listings, on this website, and you may just find your key to paradise waiting for you here.
