Perched just offshore from Florida’s mainland, Key Largo is typically the first island travelers encounter while driving through the Florida Keys. The city of Key Largo occupies the central portion of its namesake island, exuding a tropical atmosphere amidst the many suburban amenities that line U.S. 1, which serves as the commercial backbone of the community.
Nowhere in town is more than a couple of blocks from the water, so locals enjoy prime access to the island’s beaches, as well as endless opportunities for boating and fishing. Key Largo is the self-designated Dive Capital of the World, containing the world’s second-largest artificial reef, the 510-foot USS Spiegel Grove, and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The community is also just minutes away from Everglades National Park.
Key Largo’s rental offerings are incredibly diverse, ranging from swanky waterfront condos to cozy beach cottages to budget-friendly apartments. With Miami less than 90 minutes away, residents can easily take a day trip or weekend getaway to one of Florida’s most distinctive cities at any time.
