Stuart, FL Homes for Sale & Real Estate

Stuart is the county seat of Martin County and one of the most water-focused towns on Florida's Treasure Coast. The North and South Forks of the St. Lucie River meet here, the river runs out to the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Inlet, and the town calls itself the "Sailfish Capital of the World." That shapes the market. Over the last four years, roughly one in four Stuart home sales was a waterfront property, and about one in three was a condo.

This page covers all three Stuart zip codes (34994, 34996 and 34997): the main parts of town, the communities that sell most often, and what to check before you buy. The live Stuart listings are in the search below and update automatically from the MLS.

Stuart at a Glance

What Sells in Stuart

Stuart is not a new-construction market like Port St. Lucie. Most of its homes were built between the 1960s and the 2000s, and a lot of the land near the water was developed decades ago. Martin County's comprehensive plan also limits building heights to four stories in most areas, which keeps the town low-rise and holds down the supply of new condos.

Most new building in Stuart is now single-family homes and townhomes in south Stuart. See Stuart new construction homes and condos for the communities and builders.

Here is what changed hands most often in the MLS over the last four years:

• Single-family homes are about half of all home sales. They range from older concrete-block homes with no HOA in neighborhoods like Golden Gate and Coral Gardens to gated golf communities and riverfront estates.
• Condos are about one in three sales. Many are in established 55+ communities; others are on the river or on Hutchinson Island.
• Townhomes and villas make up about one in seven sales. Edgewater Pointe, River Pines and Emerald Lakes are the busiest of these.
• Waterfront homes are about one in four sales. They include canal homes with docks, riverfront lots and oceanfront condos.
• Gated communities account for close to a third of home sales. Club communities such as Mariner Sands, Willoughby, Florida Club and the Yacht & Country Club of Stuart are among them.

Stuart Areas & Communities

A Stuart mailing address covers much more than the city limits. It reaches into unincorporated Martin County, the Town of Sewall's Point and the Stuart end of Hutchinson Island. Here is how the MLS divides the Stuart market, with the communities that sell most often in each area.

Hutchinson Island (Stuart side)

Oceanfront and riverfront condos along the barrier island, plus Sailfish Point, the private gated club community at the island's southern tip beside the St. Lucie Inlet. Most homes sold in this area are waterfront. Other active condo communities include Sandpebble. For the rest of the island, see Hutchinson Island homes for sale.

Sewall's Point

The Town of Sewall's Point, a separate incorporated town on the peninsula between the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon, shares the 34996 zip code. It is all single-family homes on large lots, many of them waterfront. See Sewall's Point homes for sale.

Downtown & Central Stuart

This is the historic downtown on the St. Lucie River, with the Riverwalk, Flagler Park and the Lyric Theatre, and a large share of Stuart's condos.

• Vista Pines
• Cedar Pointe
• Kingswood
• Monterey Yacht & Country Club
• Circle Bay Yacht Club
• De La Bahia
• Lexington Lakes
• St. Lucie Estates
• Windjammer
• Poppleton Creek
• Pierpoint Yacht Club
• Banyan House
• Conquistador
• Tierra Verde

North Stuart / North River Shores

Established neighborhoods north of the St. Lucie River. They mix riverfront and canal homes, older single-family streets with no HOA, and condo communities.

• Terrace Gardens

Sewall's Point & East Stuart

The Town of Sewall's Point sits on the peninsula between the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon. Along with nearby neighborhoods such as Rio Vista, it has the highest prices in the Stuart market, and much of it is on the water.

Port Salerno, Manatee Pocket & South Stuart

South of downtown, Stuart, Port Salerno and the Manatee Pocket run together, and locals use the names loosely. Together they are the largest part of the Stuart market by sales and the most varied. Around the Manatee Pocket, close to the St. Lucie Inlet, there are marinas, waterfront restaurants and a working fishing-village feel. Farther inland you will find gated townhome communities such as Edgewater Pointe (the single busiest community in Stuart), golf and club living, and older neighborhoods with no HOA.

Waterfront & Boating in Stuart

Water is the main reason many buyers choose Stuart. The St. Lucie Inlet gives the town direct access to the Atlantic, and the Okeechobee Waterway starts here and crosses the state through Lake Okeechobee. Waterfront listings in Stuart include:

• Canal and riverfront single-family homes with private docks
• Condo communities with marinas or community boat slips
• Oceanfront and river-view condos on Hutchinson Island
• Waterfront homes on the river and lagoon in Sewall's Point and North River Shores

Not every "water view" listing has ocean access or a usable dock. Before you fall in love with a waterfront home, we check the listing's water-access and dock details with you and point out the questions to ask the seller.

Stuart Condos & 55+ Communities

Stuart has one of the largest selections of established condo communities on the Treasure Coast. Several of the busiest, including Cedar Pointe, Vista Pines, Kingswood, South River Village and Vista Del Lago, are 55+ communities. Age, pet, rental and buyer-approval rules are set by each association, so we confirm the current rules for any building before you make an offer.

Buying a Florida condo now also means reviewing the association's reserves and structural inspection records, because they can affect monthly fees, special assessments and whether a lender will finance the unit. We can help you request those association records early, before you are under contract.
