Steve's Advice
Steve Conley
Principal, Conley Sales Group at COMPASS
I have helped dozens of out-of-state families relocate to the Keys. My advice is to rent for three to six months before buying. That gives you time to learn which island fits your lifestyle, understand the traffic patterns, and experience the Keys through all four seasons. The Keys are paradise, but they are also an island chain with limited services, and what feels perfect for a vacation week can feel different after a hurricane season.
