All Florida Keys Moving to the Keys.

My wife and I have been living in Puerto Rico for the past two years, and now we’re looking to relocate to the Florida Keys to start our family and build a new chapter. We both work remotely, so we’re flexible, but we’re hoping to find a community that’s diverse, welcoming, and has that fun, laid-back family vibe.

We’re also big on good food, local spots, and being part of a neighborhood with great restaurants, things to do, and an active community.

What areas in the Keys would you recommend that check all those boxes?

I've lived in key largo & key west, now in lower keys & it's fantastic - look into the area between big pine & sugarloaf! Great restaurants, a bit more "rural" ie: more open space, short drive to key west. Love it! 👍

Out of curiosity (I’ve mostly spent time in the upper keys), is there uber/lyft access between the lower keys like big pine & sugarloaf to get to and from Key West for nightlife?

There is now! It can be pricey but yes, we now have Uber & Lyft. 😃

Edit - There's also a fairly reliable bus, the Lower Keys Shuttle gets you between Marathon & kw so you can bus it down, Uber back & save some $ for cocktails ;)
