Homes For Sale in 34145
Real Estate in Marco Island, FL
Only one of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands has been developed. At 22.8 square miles, it is also the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands and takes up most of ZIP code 34145. That island is Marco Island.
ZIP 34145 is considered to be upscale and suburban. The population as of the 2010 census was 16,407 for a density of 1,008 people per square mile, which is rather high for a suburban ZIP code. That can be explained by the number of mid-rise and high-rise buildings that line the Gulf of Mexico side of the island, where many residents own condos and/or may be only part-time.
On average, 52% of the housing units are vacant, but on its own, that figure is misleading, as 79.8% of those that are vacant are for seasonal or occasional use for those who are part-time residents. With an average median age of 65 and an average family income of about $100,000 a year, one can easily surmise that ZIP 34145 is more luxurious than “upscale” typically describes.
In fact, luxury is a key word when it comes to describing life on Marco Island. 34145 is a major retirement and vacation spot. Residents of Marco tend to be split between long-timers who generally live in quaint homes reminiscent of old Florida and the early development of the island and newer residents with high net worth who own some of the most expensive condos in Southwest Florida. Ever wonder where John Boehner gets his tan? At his home on Marco Island.
