Cedar Key, FL Movers You Can Trust
Old Florida Moving serves Cedar Key and the surrounding Nature Coast with honest, professional moving service. Island moves require local expertise — we know SR-24, Cedar Key’s narrow streets, and the unique challenges of moving on and off the island. When we show up, the owner shows up.
Moving In or Out of Cedar Key?
Cedar Key is one of Florida’s most unique and beloved communities — a small island city nestled four miles out into the Gulf of Mexico on Way Key, accessible only via State Road 24. With a population of around 800 full-time residents, Cedar Key is the definition of Old Florida charm — historic Dock Street, world-class clam aquaculture, and the breathtaking Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge.
Moving to or from Cedar Key comes with unique challenges. There’s only one road in and out — SR-24 — which crosses four small bridges over salt marshes before reaching the island. The streets are narrow, many homes are older and elevated, and timing your arrival matters during busy festival weekends.
At Old Florida Moving, we know Cedar Key. We’ve navigated SR-24 with a loaded trailer, worked in the island’s tight spaces, and handled the older wood-framed homes that define this community. Whether you’re moving to embrace the island lifestyle or relocating after years of calling Cedar Key home — we’re your mover.
Cedar Key is also famous for its Annual Seafood Festival each October and the Spring Sidewalk Arts Festival in April — two of the most beloved community events on the Nature Coast.
🗺️ Getting To & Around Cedar Key
Cedar Key is reached exclusively via State Road 24, which runs west from US 19/27 near Chiefland. The road crosses four bridges over salt marshes before reaching the island. There is no bypass — all moving trucks enter and exit the same way. Plan arrival time carefully, especially during festival weekends.
🏫 Schools in Cedar Key
Cedar Key School serves PreK through 12th grade and is located at 951 Whiddon Avenue. The school is operated by the Levy County School Board. For higher education, Santa Fe College and the University of Florida are both approximately 53–54 miles east in Gainesville.
🌿 Local Character
Cedar Key retains an authentic Old Florida feel unlike anywhere else in the state. The island draws artists, nature lovers, retirees, and adventurers. Kayaking through the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, fishing charters, and world-class birdwatching make this one of Florida’s most special places.
💼 Economy
Tourism and clam aquaculture are Cedar Key’s twin economic pillars. The island is one of Florida’s largest producers of farm-raised clams. Restaurants, galleries, and charter services line the famous Dock Street waterfront.
