Anyone know of a useful site to obtain information on renting in the keys?

[qnr]

Not tourist rates, a simple, fixed-income small apartment type thing. We're contemplating moving down there.

1. Oh man, good luck

Its locked out city down there for affordable housing. From what I here, anyway. Try to stay in the middle or upper keys. Marathon or islamorada

[qnr]

2. Ok, thanks - I've been looking at some ads for old houseboats, but they

just say that the space rental is low, without specifying what "low" is. That's just one potential avenue, of course.

3. yeah, "livaboards"

I heard some noise, they are trying to get rid of them too

4. How about a mobile home?

5. We're open to anything that we can handle on a fixed income. Studios,

one bedroom apartments, mobile homes, houseboats, etc.

6. I know of a cement block 1/2 duplex in Key Largo. It's $900 per month,

electricity and cable included. It's a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a huge Florida room. It's on the water and part of a campground. PM me if you want more information. My husband and I rented the place for a while when we first moved down here.

11. Thanks, I'm heading out the door, but I'll discuss it with my wife and

get back to you.

moving van, except for one period.
