Prices jump to $700,00 and can climb to nearly $4 million as the waterfront homes increase in square footage and high-end upgrades.

Jensen Beach Park leads to the beach
Of course, the beach is a go-to for residents looking to fish or spend some time near the ocean, and there are several spots along the coast with parking lots and paths to the water. Jensen Beach Park is a popular spot that also offers volleyball courts and picnic pavilions. Nearby Jaycee Park is a more traditional green space with a big playground for kids, tennis courts and a sand volleyball court, along with beach access.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
