My name is Ellen Alderman, and I’m a Key Largo Real
Estate agent-REALTOR with Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate Company.
Originally from Chicago, my husband and I moved to Orange Park, Florida
in 1975 and then to Miami in 1978, where we worked and raised our family.
Our first Keys purchase was a mobile home on a canal in Lake Surprise.
We had so much fun there! Lots of company, boating, fishing…it was
great! It was so great, we sold the mobile and purchased a waterfront lot
in Key Largo in 1991, started the building process and officially moved
into our new bay front residence in 1996. I eventually sold my business
in Miami, and have been working with Coldwell Banker Schmitt since June
of 2005.

A quick overview of our Florida Keys
I'm going to the Florida Keys! People
all over the world love to say that.
The Florida Keys are in fact, one of the most
desirable areas in the world to visit. Because
of this, our property is some of the most desirable
real estate in the world. The islands here
comprise a unique American landscape. Called
by some, Americas Caribbean. Our islands are
reminiscent of the Bahamas, Caymans or Netherlands
Antilles. Imagine low lying dots on an azure
sea that separates Cuba from the U.S, strung
130 miles in a long narrow corridor athwart
the Gulf Stream. Bordered by one of the world’s
principal coral reefs that was the scourge of pirates and the Spanish fleet
nearly 500 years ago. Our waters beckon year round divers, fishermen, and
boaters.

Key Largo Real Estate
Imagine owning a Vacation home rental in paradise.
Imagine employment or retiring here. Imagine incredible sunsets,
tropical weather and palm trees in your backyard. Imagine world-class
fishing and diving, just minutes from home. How about year round fruits,
vegetables and fresh seafood. Imagine balmy nights with soft tropical
breezes and shades of green and blue you never knew existed. If that's not
enough, what about clean air, quiet nights and pure nature mixed in with
a laid-back Island attitude.
If all this sounds too good to be true
consider this. Since we only spend a small percentage of our lifetimes
outdoors, why not make the most of it.
How about going on vacation and never going home
Living and Investing in the Upper
Keys
The Upper Keys is a great area for both recreation and Investments. The reason
is simple: Miami and Miami International is just an hours drive. In Addition,
the recent incredible growth in the South Miami area of Homestead (Forecasts
call for 1 million people by 2010) is adding to the desire for homes in the Keys.
Why is this good for Investors
Ft Lauderdale, Naples and Miami residents come to the upper Keys for the weekends,
meaning rental homes, duplexes, condos and hotels enjoy great occupancy rates.
More importantly, Environmental issues and the fact there is just one main road
into the Keys strictly restricts building. There is only so much land still available.
The Keys can never be like California in terms of growth. Since they are restricted,
this protects your investment.
Waterfront Florida Keys Real Estate
is the dream of so many, from Paris, to Frankfurt, to Toronto and New York. The
Keys real estate continues to be some of the best real estate that money can
buy.
For our future Residents
You can enjoy a laid-back Keys lifestyle plus have just a short commute to Miami
and its employment, educational facilities, Culture, shopping, entertainment
and more.
In addition World famous Key West is just 2 hours away.
