Checking out Abacoa and Egret Landing in MArch for possible future move in few years...any input. Mostly interested in family lifestyle , education/schools, and of course boating -fishing and Marinas I can site see.

Thx Tony

Abacoa is nice but primarily zero lot line and many communities in the Abacoa development have DUAL HOA FEES! One to association and one to master Abacoa association. I sat in on the Abacoa sales pitch a few years back, 10 year build/10,000 homes and I passed. Egret Landing is very popular, 650 homes on 1/4 acre lots and tons of kids. Schools for Egret are great, Abacoa is split at Frederick Small road. North of FS road, you get Jupiter schools, south of FS road you get Palm Beach Gardens (Dwyer HS not great).

Two others are Paseos (built by Arvida in 2005-6), plenty of deals in there post boom, Canterbury is another that is actually still under construction. Abacoa still has new homes being built today, which hurts resale on existing homes.

Zip code for this area of Jupiter is 33458....

One other thing, Egret Landing was built by about a dozen different builders from local or regional to national (Pulte was big). The other communites I mentioned above were all built by a single developer so the homes are extremely similar in architecture/size/floorplans.

On marinas, not a lot of rack storage places but this one just opened and it is huge (and empty)... http://www.jupiterpointe.com/

Here is the inlet cam, water at the mouth of the inlet is 15 ft deep and crystal clear on most days to the point if there is a beer bottle on the floor you can tell the brand from the surface. http://www.evsjupiter.com/main.htm

While looking at those beer bottles around the inlet, also look for that glint of gold as there's a Spanish treasure wreck right there at the inlet.

yeah, just to the south about 100 yards....the barge on stilts is there all summer during the calmer seas trying to find it!

Jupiter Sensation thanks for all the info..we will be taking a trip in MArch to check it out. Egret landing definetly sounds like the place to be. Thx again!

Depending how young your kids are I just moved here and my oldest is in kindergarden my yougest still a couple years away but the oldest goes to limestone elementary. If they are older I think the schools are the same for a bigger area. There are a few good subdivisions around there they are a little older they are THE SHORES, then north a little on the river are THE MOORINGS, there is also a new one built by lennar called RAILTO. I like all of these places the moorings have some houses on the water with inlet access but the waterfront there are a lot more than the ones across the street.

When we're down we stay at The Jupiter Inn and Spa.........nice place. I like Jupiter and the friends I have there.

The Moorings is actually in Martin County.....so no Jupiter schools they get a bus ride north to Hobe Sound.

Shores is huge and nice neighborhood just stay away from the wood frame houses, buy concrete (no termite, rot, hurricane issues).

Rialto is looks nice from the ads.

I thought you stayed at the Jupiter Beach Resort...
