Will Affordable Housing policies help with the overall housing diversity?

11 May 2026 10:50 AM | Anonymous

Islamorada may be too far “out of balance” with almost 6000 homes and only 140 deed restricted as affordable.


But every single affordable housing allocation should be carefully thought out so that the Village benefits to the maximum.


Monroe County spent $7.5 million to buy 12 brand new 1-bedroom affordable units at MM95 last June.  They are still sitting empty, almost a year later.  Islamorada cannot afford that kind of mistake.  




Does the Blueprint for Balance establish the proper goals based on actual demand and viability?

  • Type of housing long term - rental or ownership; single family or multi-family?

  • Blending with our community character?

  • Viability with the high cost of land and construction costs?

  • Desirability to potential occupants in spite of high cost of living and wealthy demographics in Islamorada?


Our vision

To enhance the community of Islamorada by preserving the quality of life of the residents as well as the beauty and vitality of the native ecosystems and to stop any further degradation of our community from over-development.
