Fort Pierce Historic Homes for Sale

The feed on this page shows older homes for sale in Fort Pierce, updated from the MLS.

Where the Older Homes Are

Most historic housing is in and around downtown and along Indian River Drive in zip 34950, plus the neighborhoods north and west of downtown, including Lincoln Park, the historic center of Fort Pierce's Black community. Downtown is home to the 1923 Sunrise Theatre, the City Marina and the Saturday farmers market.

What to Check on an Older Home

  • Insurance - roof age, wiring, plumbing (cast iron or galvanized) and the electrical panel drive whether you can get a policy. Get a 4-point and wind mitigation inspection early.
  • Historic designation - if the house is in a designated district or individually listed, exterior changes may need city review.
  • Flood zone and elevation - especially near the river.
  • Termites and wood rot on wood-frame homes.

Financing

Older homes can be financed like any other, but the home has to be insurable and meet the loan's condition standards. A renovation loan can wrap repairs into the mortgage. Call with the address.
