Suburban neighborhood close to Downtown Fort Pierce
The neighborhood of Fort Pierce North is a small, suburban pocket off Florida’s Treasure Coast, almost 4 miles from downtown Fort Pierce. And while there are homes, parks and houses of worship here, development has been slow coming to this area. Still, according to Diane Buccholz, a Realtor with Keller Williams of Port St. Lucie, this mix of light industrial and residential has potential. "I think it's going to be a real up-and-coming area, but in about 20 years,” she says.
Ranch and bungalow style houses are available
Fort Pierce North offers a mix of two- and three-bedroom bungalows and ranch-style homes. Many are from the 1970s and have been updated over the years, while others were rebuilt from the ground up in the early 2000s. Lot sizes run large, giving homes ample front and backyards. Prices range from the high $100,000s to the mid $300,000s. A few condo complexes are located on the neighborhood's north side, with two-bedroom units priced between $140,000 and $150,000. North Fort Pierce also has land priced between $15,000 and $80,000 for half-acre and three-quarter-acre lots. Many of these lots sit between houses, giving residents additional privacy.
In Fort Pierce North, most of the homes are single-story.

Paradise Park and Horatio Grisby Park are go-to spots for recreation
Fort Pierce North parks include the triangle-shaped Paradise Park on Avienda Avenue, which has just enough space for a basketball court and small playground, and Horatio Grisby Park along Avenue M, which has a large baseball and softball field, a public pool and an on-site community center. The area is also peppered with golf courses, including Fairwinds Golf Course off Route 1, a public course designed by Jim Fazio. Downtown Fort Pierce has many places to get close to wildlife, like the Manatee Observation and Education Center on Indian River Drive. The center allows visitors to spot the local “sea cows” that make their home in the neighboring Indian River Lagoon.
Paradise Park can be found in the center of Fort Pierce North, offering a large playground.

Close to Interstate 95, bus stops
Fort Pierce North is near both Route 1 and Interstate 95, which connect major cities like Orlando and Miami, about 120 miles and 135 miles away, respectively. Those taking public transportation can hop aboard an Area Regional Transit (ART) bus at stops along North 25th Street, Juanita Avenue and Route 1 and travel throughout the Treasure Coast. The Palm Beach International Airport is about 70 miles away, offering flights nationwide. While the Treasure Coast International Airport borders the neighborhood, it is mainly for private planes and flight training. “Air traffic is really minimal. They keep talking about possibly expanding it, but there’s nothing in the works right now,” Buccholz says. The airport is slated to offer commercial flights in 2025.
