The Homes

Rio has some of the most varied housing in Jensen Beach. Small one-story cottages and block homes from the mid-1900s sit next to renovated homes and new construction, and condition varies from block to block. Most homes are two or three bedrooms, and several listings mention updates such as new floors, kitchens, impact windows and roofs. Some homes are sold as-is, so the age and condition of the roof, electrical and plumbing matter here.

Rules and Fees

Rio has no master association on most listings, so there are typically no monthly HOA dues and fewer deed-based rules than in a newer community. Homes are still subject to Martin County code. Ask about the specific address before you buy.

  • HOA: none on most listings.
  • Pets: most listings allow pets with no restrictions.
  • Leasing: most listings show no restrictions. Confirm the rules and county requirements before you buy an investment property.

  • Check the age and condition. With many homes from before 1980, get the roof permit date, wind-mitigation report and four-point inspection.
  • Septic or sewer. Listings show both, so confirm which the home has and ask for a septic inspection if needed.
  • Visit more than once. Streets in an older neighborhood can feel different from block to block, so visit at different times of day.
  • Financing. Our team includes a licensed mortgage loan officer (NMLS #1883073) who can pre-approve you for the specific home.
