Good to know

Boot Key questions, answered

Can you live on Boot Key itself?
Boot Key is largely undeveloped and centered on Boot Key Harbor's boating and liveaboard scene; most homes are on the adjacent Marathon side with harbor and water access. A vetted local agent can explain the options and any boating rules.
Can international buyers purchase here?
Yes. There's no citizenship or residency requirement to buy property in Florida, and foreign-national financing is available. We connect you with lenders who specialize in international buyers.
What are HOA / condo fees like?
They vary widely by building and amenities and can be significant in luxury oceanfront towers — and they make a real difference to your monthly cost. A vetted local agent can walk you through the fees building by building before you commit.
