What’s Not to Love About Martin County Florida?

Martin County - Sailfish fountain

I’ve been in Martin County Florida for over 30 years now which makes it the place that where I’ve lived the longest time by more than triple the time of any place in my life.  It’s the perfect place to be for those with families as we boast a wonderful school system with ‘A’ rated schools that have education and extracurricular programs and top rate graduation rates.

It’s also a wonderful place for growing up for children with safe communities, low crime rates and lots of fun activities available all year long.

Martin County - downtown Stuart

And for those into active lifestyles, we have over 200 miles of waterfront for those wanting to enjoy our rivers or the crystal clear and warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  World class fishing is just steps outside your door or a quick ride out to the Inlet.  There’s also waterskiing and sailing.  Those that are a bit more adventurous can enjoy year long windsurfing and kiteboarding available for all levels and we have the spots available for these sports for all wind directions.

Martin County waterfront restaurants and docks

Into golf?  There are over 35 professional golf courses within a 20 mile radius of the Stuart FL area.  Courses are available for all lifestyles from public courses to exclusive private clubs.

Martin County Beches

All this in a County that strictly regulates urban sprawl by limiting unwanted new development and controlling the density of any new projects.  There are no buildings over four stories allowed in the County and most developments are limited to only two stories.  Traffic is hardly ever an issue and when you get to the store, restaurant or vendor of your choice it is rare to not have a parking spot available within steps of the front door.

Plus, it is still an affordable area.  Retiring seniors will find some condos in excellent communities starting from as low as $50,000 while the likes of Tiger Woods and Greg Norman live in the Jupiter Island community of Martin County where you will need considerably more to have your dream estate.

Homes in the Meadows

The Meadows came into existence through the efforts of local developer Peter Cumming who submitted the plans for the community around 1988.  Shortly thereafter, Burg and DiVosta (soon to be just DiVosta) began developing the land in the area called Martin Downs for the soon to be constructed villages of The Meadows.

Homes in the Meadows

Divosta started construction on the site known as The Meadows in 1988 by building two structures from which to sell. One was a Single Family home (Hampton) in what is now known as Greenwich Village, and the other was a four unit Town Home building (Stamford) in what is now known as Lakemont Village. Both types of homes were started in The Meadows at about the same time in 1988.  DiVosta completed the Meadows in 1993 and turned the administration and running of the community to The Meadows Homeowners Association which runs the community through elected officers as well as a full time support staff.

HOA fees in the meadows vary by the type of home, so please look at the listing details view when checking available Meadows homes for sale.  The Meadows is not age restricted and currently allows up to 2 large pets.  Rentals are also allowed with some restrictions.

Children currently attend the Bessey Creek Elementary School, the Hidden Oaks Middle School; and the Martin County High School.
