Martin is the quiet, slow growth county. Wedged between its bustling Palm Beach neighbor to the south and the burgeoning St. Lucie County to the north, Martin County remains an ideal location for those seeking a Florida lifestyle that’s more relaxed with less congestion, low density, lower taxes and a managed slow growth plan for the future. The weather, too, is close to ideal. Uniquely located on Florida’s Treasure Coast, Martin County benefits from gentle east coast breezes, the influence of the Gulf Stream and what’s known as the Lake Okeechobee effect that limits heavy rainfall in the area. The result is a moderate, virtually bug free climate that’s conducive to year round golf, tennis, fishing and other outdoor activities. Equally importantly, Martin County sits halfway between Palm Beach and Vero Beach and is strategically located at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers. Sailing, boating and fishing abound and a quiet beach is never more than a few minutes away. The charm of historic downtown Stuart with its boutiques and small village appeal is the centerpiece of Martin County. For upscale shopping, The Gardens Mall is less than thirty minutes away with names like Saks, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Brooks Brothers and Tiffany. And, Worth Avenue with its famous designer shops is just another fifteen minutes down the road in Palm Beach. For the gourmet, Martin County is home to Zagat’s top rated “Food” restaurant, 11 Maple, as well as a variety of others including eight more Zagat rated restaurants, family owned bistros, micro breweries and ethnic eateries. Come visit us in person. We promise you’ll neither miss the crowds nor soon forget where they weren’t.
