| The very low crime rate makes it very desirable for us to raise our family. The library has great story hours and lots of children's books, and an easy computerized system. We were lucky enough to be able to buy our new home last year, but otherwise it's very hard to afford anything here. Tiny mobile homes go for at least $260,000. And that's being conservative. A decent sized home (2,000 sq. ft.) goes for $500,000 or more, depending on when it's built, the neighborhood or if it's next to the water.
You can't put a price on safety, and I will stay here for as long as my children are small.

| No affordable housing - 2/26/2006
My husband and I are one of the few people who moved to the Keys because of the job, not because of the Keys themselves. We are unable to live in our own place because there are hardly any apartments and no affordable housing. I don't mean that there is no cheap housing; there really is no affordable housing for people currently wanting to move to the Keys. It is not uncommon to see a trailer on a small lot to go for $400,000 or more.[read more...]
