What is the best Keys community for retirees?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Marathon and Key Largo are popular with retirees due to their amenities, healthcare access, and active communities. The Lower Keys offer more seclusion for those seeking a quiet retirement. Each has different pros depending on lifestyle preferences.

Islamorada and Marathon are popular with retirees for their combination of amenities, community feel, and waterfront access. Islamorada has Founders Park with incredible facilities. Marathon has a full-service hospital and airport. Both offer a quieter pace than Key West.
