How does Key West differ from the rest of the Keys?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Key West is the southernmost island and offers a dense, walkable urban environment with vibrant arts, dining, and nightlife. The rest of the Keys are more spread out and residential. Key West has its own unique culture and building regulations.

Key West is a city -- walkable, vibrant, with restaurants, nightlife, and culture on every block. The rest of the Keys are more spread out and nature-focused. Key West commands premium prices but offers a lifestyle that no other Keys community can match.
