North River Shores

The area north of the Roosevelt Bridge to Britt Road and west of US 1 is sometimes loosely referred to as “North River Shores.” However, North River Shores and its companion neighborhoods of Cocoanut Point and North River Forest are distinct subdivisions as recorded in Martin County records.
 
Members of these communities enjoy the benefits of designated park areas as well as the use of the boat ramp at Nosaw Park which accesses the North Fork of the St. Lucie River.
There are also some accompanying deed restrictions that enhance and protect the aesthetic nature of this beautiful community.

 North River Shores

The North River Shores communities include both waterfront and non-waterfront homes.  Waterfront homes may have sweeping miles wide views of the North Fork of the Saint Lucie River or protected canal front homes with deep water dockage.  Additionally, North River Shores is a bird and wildlife sanctuary.


North River Shores This community is blessed with easy access to shopping, the beaches, houses of worship, schools and access to both downtown Stuart and Jensen Beach, yet it maintains a quiet and peacefully neighborhood character.   This is a wonderful neighborhood within Martin County’s ‘A’ rated school district.
