Our Take
Key West's charming atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and rich history make it an excellent choice for those who crave a tranquil island lifestyle. With a Walk Score of 0 and long commutes, it's ideal for those who don't mind driving. However, its high flood risk and limited job opportunities require careful consideration.
