Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked into a gated complex, this apartment sits at the heart of Old Town Key West – one of those addresses that feels embedded in the neighbourhood. A covered front porch, shaded and set for alfresco dining, is where the days begin and end. The shared pool just beyond is ideal for hot Key West afternoons. Fort Zachary Taylor's beach, Duval Street, Mallory Square, and the Hemingway Home are all within easy walking distance – the kind of location where you spend most of your time outside exploring.
