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.

| Home types | Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, villas, manufactured homes, land and commercial |

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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
Established neighborhoods north of the St. Lucie River. They mix riverfront and canal homes, older single-family streets with no HOA, and condo communities.
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.
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.
Port Salerno & Manatee Pocket
Golf & club communities
Single-family neighborhoods
Townhome, villa & condo communities
Manufactured homes
Gated communities along the South Fork of the St. Lucie River and Kanner Highway, many with river or lake frontage. This area also has one of Stuart's largest manufactured-home communities.
| Zip | Covers | What you will mostly find |
|---|---|---|
| 34994 | Downtown Stuart and North Stuart / North River Shores | Condos, older single-family streets and riverfront homes |
| 34996 | East Stuart, Sewall's Point, Hutchinson Island (Stuart side) | Waterfront homes, oceanfront condos and the highest price points |
| 34997 | South and southwest Stuart, Port Salerno, Kanner Highway | More than half of all Stuart home sales: gated, golf, townhome and no-HOA neighborhoods |
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:
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 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.

Stuart homes are in 34994, 34996 and 34997. Zip 34995 is used for P.O. boxes. 34997 covers south and southwest Stuart and Port Salerno and has the most home sales. 34994 covers downtown and North Stuart. 34996 covers east Stuart, Sewall's Point and the Stuart side of Hutchinson Island.
No. Sewall's Point is its own incorporated town, but homes there use Stuart mailing addresses, and the MLS includes them in the Stuart market. Much of the town is on the water, and it has the highest prices in the area.
Yes. About one in four Stuart home sales over the last four years was waterfront, and more than a third of those listed ocean access in the MLS. Riverfront homes on the St. Lucie River also reach the ocean through the St. Lucie Inlet. Water access and dock details vary a lot from property to property, so we review them with you on each listing.
Yes. Stuart has many established 55+ condo communities, including Cedar Pointe, Vista Pines, Kingswood, South River Village and Vista Del Lago. Each association sets its own age, pet and rental rules, and we confirm them before you buy.
Stuart's best-known golf and club communities include Sailfish Point, Mariner Sands, Willoughby, Florida Club, the Yacht & Country Club of Stuart and Summerfield. Club membership and dues rules differ from one community to the next, so ask us for the current details on any of them.
Yes. Many older Stuart neighborhoods have no HOA, including Golden Gate, Coral Gardens, Hibiscus Park, Palm Lake Park, St. Lucie Estates and much of Port Salerno. With no HOA dues, your monthly payment is lower. Your home still has to meet county or city code.
Stuart is smaller, older and more centered on the water. It has more condos, more waterfront homes and very little new construction. Port St. Lucie is much larger, with far more new single-family homes and master-planned communities such as Tradition. Many of our buyers look at both, and we cover both.
