Discover a city where real estate titles date back to the Kings of Spain. Stroll the palm-lined streets and discover gingerbread mansions, tin-roofed conch houses, the John Audubon House and Ernest Hemingway’s home. In Key West, you can visit these and a host of other attractions by taking advantage of convenient public transportation, taxis, pedi-cabs, tour trains, trolleys, bicycles or even your own two feet. In this city of fascinating contrasts, you could easily find yourself wanting to let go of mainland hassles permanently. Warm weather year round, an average temperature of 77-degrees, and very little rainfall; its a perfect place to call home.
