2 communities researched · Public resident-feedback themes, advertised rents and property details · Updated Sep 2026
Marathon sits roughly in the middle of the Florida Keys chain, connecting Key West to the mainland via the Overseas Highway, with a local economy built around fishing, diving, and tourism. Genuine apartment complexes are rare here — the vast majority of Marathon's rental listings are individually-owned condos and houses, many priced for the vacation-rental and second-home market, so this city has only a couple of traditional multi-unit apartment communities.
As of mid-2026, the two apartment communities in Marathon range from about $2,350 for a 1-bedroom at the newer workforce-housing property up to roughly $5,100 for a 3-bedroom at the waterfront community — both well above typical mainland Florida apartment rents, reflecting the Keys' constrained land supply and high cost of living.

Renters insurance is not optional here. Many Florida leases require it, and standard policies generally do not cover flood damage — that may require separate coverage, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. A recurring theme in public resident feedback is fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
