Master-planned in a masterful way
Stroll under Abacoa’s canopy of oak and palm trees, past its eclectic collection of modern homes and toward one of the community’s parks or local restaurants, and the area’s cozy character might seem undeniable. It’s how this area was designed to feel. “That’s exactly what you get there,” says local Realtor Stefan Levine of The Agency. Abacoa is the product of a 1990s development project, a master-planned expanse that stretches more than 2,000 acres and is filled with several thousand homes, plus a packed downtown district, multiple schools and plenty of green space. This is the largest community within Jupiter and one that people are constantly moving to, Levine says. “I would describe the Abacoa vibe as calm and cool,” says Realtor Daniel Ramos of Century 21, a native of the area. “There are a lot of young families and a ton of things to do. It’s a well-established area that is just a great place to live.”
Modern homes with personality
Abacoa was the vision of developer George de Guardiola, for a locale that embodies “new urbanism” — a walkable space with a blend of residential and commercial development. Construction commenced in 1997, and there are now more than a dozen separate neighborhoods within the community. Most of the communities have their own pools and other resources, says Levine, who has lived in Palm Beach County for about 20 years. The homes that fill these neighborhoods were carefully planned out to provide variety — “cookie-cutter” isn’t part of the lexicon. “They were really good [about] building a community, not just a row of houses,” Levine says. “In each one of those subdivisions, you’re not seeing the same house over and over again.” The mix includes single-family homes with Mediterranean and Craftsman influences, but also some sizable townhomes, many of them pushing 2,000 square feet. Single-family houses here average almost 2,600 square feet. Houses fill grassy green lots, often totaling between one-tenth and one-fifth of an acre. Most of the townhomes here have price tags starting in the $300,000s and up to the mid-$700,000s, while the traditional single-family homes can start in the $600,000s and top out at around $3 million for something over 4,000 or 5,000 square feet.

Well-regarded schools come close by
This area’s mixed-use makeup includes multiple public schools, part of the School District of Palm Beach County, which carries a B-plus rating on Niche and is No. 2 on the site’s list of the best school districts in the Miami area. The Palm Beach County system allows students to apply for programs at schools outside of their attendance zones, but many in Abacoa are within walking distance of campuses like Lighthouse Elementary, which has a B-minus rating and serves those in prekindergarten through second grade. Then kids can progress to the A-minus-rated Beacon Cove Intermediate. Both Lighthouse and Beacon Cove offer afterschool programs. The A-minus-rated Independence Middle can be next, for grades 6 to 8, a school that offers special programs in topics like pre-law and pre-medical sciences. Then William T. Dwyer High, which has an A rating, includes programs in everything from culinary arts to construction. Abacoa is also home to Florida Atlantic University’s John D. MacArthur Campus at Jupiter, a science hub, with headquarters for FAU’s Brain Institute and the Institute for Human Health and Disease Intervention.
Lighthouse Elementary is committed to the education of the kids of Abacoa.
William T Dwyer is the largest high school in the region in Abacoa.

Green space is essential
Among Abacoa’s marks is its preserved green space — the community includes almost 400 acres of it. The biggest outdoor asset here is a 260-acre greenway that’s a tranquil place for a stroll through the area’s foliage. “In Abacoa, by having green space and the greenway and walking trails it allows you to have this peaceful separation in that you are surrounded by nature,” Levine says. “And it’s lovely.” Those seeking some competition, meanwhile, can take advantage of Abacoa Community Park, where there’s an expansive concrete hockey rink, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts and a skate park. Or they can head to the well-kept Abacoa Golf Club, which has a public 18-hole course.
Locals can also enjoy a nice day out at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium here — the spring training home of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Miami Marlins in February and March, and the home to two Cardinals and Marlins minor league teams apiece from April to September. Spring training brings an influx of baseball fans to the area, Levine says. “It really creates a different level of excitement and engagement around spring training baseball,” he says.

Community events are common
One of Abacoa’s design principles is connectivity, which comes across in a physical sense thanks in part to the sidewalks that line many of the streets here. But social connectivity is prevalent here, too, evidenced by the area’s array of community events. The list includes recurring offerings like Food Truck Fridays, which take place downtown on the second and fourth Friday of each month. Annual events include the Feast of Little Italy, a three-day street festival featuring several live performances and myriad vendors, including plenty of food. There’s also the two-day ArtiGras in February, an arts festival that draws artists from some 40 states, plus Canada. “There's a constant effort. They’re constantly scheduling events that touch many different interests,” Levine says.
Travel is eased by location
Among Abacoa’s conveniences is that the thoroughfare of Donald Ross Road runs right by the community, a stretch that can take locals right to the coast in Juno Beach. This area is also adjacent to Interstate 95, linking people with the rest of the region. “It’s so well located within the north Palm Beach County area that you’re between 10 to 16 minutes parked at the beach,” Levine says. “You’re on I-95 and less than 25 minutes to the Palm Beach International Airport.” There are also multiple stops in the PalmTran bus system within Abacoa.
Abacoa residents have the convenience of well-maintained and shaded bus stops.

A distinct downtown
One of this area’s signature features is Downtown Abacoa, a particularly walkable sphere with several eateries and other local businesses, from a salon to a martial arts school. The downtown district almost resembles an outdoor mall, and it’s a slice of this community that has inspired other localities, like Port St. Lucie. “A lot of other communities are trying to do the same thing with their downtown areas,” Ramos says. “They’re trying to create a downtown sector where people can walk and shop and eat.” Popular downtown restaurants include Copacabana Cuban Cuisine, for not just the food and drinks but also the live music and dancing. Meanwhile Crux Coffee Roasters, a couple of doors down, is a casual spot for locals to get their caffeine fix and a breakfast sandwich. And locals can grab groceries and other essentials at Abacoa’s Publix, just about a mile south.
