An affordable option along Florida’s Treasure Coast
Florida Ridge’s affordability and prime location along the Treasure Coast makes it popular among retirees. Water and beach activities are plentiful and the surrounding conservation areas offer walking trails and other recreation opportunities. The unincorporated area of about 21,000 residents is part of Indian River County. One of its biggest draws, says real estate agent Ben Bryk, is the sense of community. “The people are just the best,” says Bryk, who has lived in the area for 20 years and works for Coldwell Banker Paradise. “Everybody is from somewhere else. We have a very giving community.”

Retirement communities and turnkey condos
Florida Ridge is a mostly residential community just to the south of Vero Beach. The median home price is about $270,000, much lower than the roughly $435,000 median in neighboring Vero Beach. Available properties range from one-bedroom condos selling at around $100,000 to $1.3 million homes with personal boat decks along the canal. Some older, smaller properties selling in “as-is” condition go for around $50,000. Many homes are part of gated retirement or golf communities. Homebuyers can also find turnkey furnished properties.

Snorkeling at Avalon State Park and hiking through the wetlands at Oslo Riverfront
Water activities are popular, both in the Indian River and on the island’s Atlantic coast. Locals can launch their canoes into the Indian River at the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area or enjoy a walk along the trails through the wetlands and flatwoods. The county hosts a variety of free activities at some of the conservation areas throughout the week, including painting classes, hiking clubs and nature walks. Beaches on North Hutchinson Island have picnic areas and playgrounds for families. Avalon State Park is a good place for swimming, surfing or snorkeling. During the spring and summer, visitors will see sea turtles nesting on the beaches.

Other recreation options include the various programs at the Intergenerational Recreation Center, including yoga and art classes. “Pickleball has taken over,” Bryk says.
