Marathon Living, the Pros & Cons of Living in Marathon Florida Keys 

You forgot to mention that Sombrero beach is the new Cuban Port, lol!

Makes me want to live in Marathon what a great place to be

you forgot one very important Con.....dealing with freeloading friends who constantly want to visit and stay in your guest bedrooms!

Thanks for the info! We just returned from vacation in the keys. I would love to live around Marathon. My husband grew up around there. On Ramrod there is a gas station right next to Looe key reef resort. His grandpa used to own that before he passed and he even had his own Island. Unfortunately he had to sell to pay for Cancer treatments but our dream is to buy back that island and live there 💕. Maybe one day! It's a great atmosphere. Lots of cool people

One of the big pros in Marathon is its public general aviation airport, great place to live for some who owns their own small plane.

Great video, I will be in contact soon to see if you can help provide some resources for my kids and I. Thank you!

The Marathon International Airport is not “private.” It is a public use airport owned and operated by Monroe County.

You've got Sombrero Country Club, for the golfers. I used to like to canoe on the narrow channels winding through Boot Key, revealing hidden bays with tiny islands inside. You might notice an imbalance of males and females in Marathon. I theorize that groups of guys might come here for fishing, while groups of girls are more likely to choose Key West, or even Key Largo. It's amazing all the business infrastructure in a town of only 10k people.

NIce! Great video :)

Bravo Angela, we are looking for our Keys home. Costs of living well noted.

Great Video from a Local Colleague, Realtor and Builder- Nevermind those negative comments.

I used to come down there when my kids were young. We stayed in Marathon (usually at the Blackfin) and made day trips to Key West and points north. In fact, we were down there so much the guy who used to be the main guy at the Marathon 1, welcomed us once and commented that he did not see us in a while. I used to like that big Kmart with its fishing section, who picked up the bargain fishing shop and what will be going into the old Kmart?

The Gables on Go channel just picked up a stilted home there for $300k. They put $120 into it and now valued $750k. Like most deals, it was never MLS listed, it was private seller to real estate agent.

Nah … hurricanes … not for me ! But I still love the vital and valuable information you give in this video ! You should consider going into giving weather news on a news station like FOX ! Or just giving any overseas news , and interviewing too ! You would be a hit ! Your beautiful and well poised and professional ! Trust me ! I’m a 69 year old grandmother and if I were young again and beautiful like you and well spoken , that’s what I would do ! Good luck and may you and your loved ones live long healthy happy safe and prosperous lives ! Thank you ever so much for mentioning hurricane Irma ! Great video ! Wednesday November 9th 2022 ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊😊😊

Ready to move!!!

7 years just up the road on Grassy Key my only Con is the heat if you sweat easily.

All I have to say is burdines has the best French fries ever!

So sorry, How long have you lived in the fla keys? wherever your from, go back

The main reason that there are only 10.000 people in Marathon is that most people who move to that area dont stay very long. I had a 20 plus year relationship with the keys, 10 of which were full time living on Duck Key. There are many other much better places to live in Florida. The keys are a very nice place to visit, and for those who can afford it, having a vacation home there would be nice, especially for the reef fishing.

1:21 Well now you got a hurricane this year 😅

That’s my ant wish she had more likes 🥳. From kai galley

Sombrero Beach and along the 7mile (BuLL SharK HAven) .. The 2022 vs prior to hurricane, Vs prior to 2010 was Local , Ask the old k mart ,.. Today, Its a sideways of sorts. The great places all closed. The new places are lacking the meaning of .. The Keys~

What's up with the bouncing shoulder?

I want to buy a house I'm 100% disabled permanent and total veteran I want to buy a little house is there anything available

Looking for a boat slip to rent for a 36 ft trawler

I'm from Venezuela, and I want to leave there

Quirky, adorable chick.

is it safe?

key

Ya got me at a million dollars for a home

What is wrong with your shoulder?

This video is oriented toward the wealthy people. If you have enough money to buy a million dollar home and a fifty thousand dollar boat and have no need to work two jobs then you will live just like she says. If you’re not rich, it might be a little bit of a struggle. Marathon Airport is not private! Where did you get that misinformation? You should have told people that the City of Marathon extends from Hog Key to Grassy Key. Duck Key is not part of the city. The large island is Key Vaca, not “Marathon Key”. Mosquito Control is not a company, it is a government agency. You are paying taxes for that service. Shopping? What a laugh. Years ago there was the upscale boutique, KMart, but that’s gone. Private school? You’re talking to rich people, right? You should warn people not to accept real estate industry hype at face value but to be skeptical. I have seen so many people move to town and then move away in the first five years (if they can afford to move away).

You're a cutie...

Need a place to live there. Have good job offer in Islamorada. Can you help

You forgot about the Brass Monkey lol

Key west an hour away , your delusional , maybe you should take a ride, I’ve never made it in one hour
