Mediterranean coastal homes and traditional ramblers
Sandpiper Bay features a range of housing options from traditional ramblers and newly constructed contemporary styles to coastal homes with Mediterranean influence and multi-family townhouses. While a few townhouses and condominium complexes can be found in Sandpiper Bay, most residences are single-family properties built in the 1970s and 80s. Sandpiper Bay comprises several subdivisions, some gated like Ballantrae and Rivella, while others like South Port St Lucie are not gated. Homeowners Associations are commonplace in this community but not universal. With a median sales price of $430,000, price points here can range from the high $200,000s for a townhouse to upwards of $4,000,000 for a four-bedroom riverfront property. Waterfront homes along the river often feature backyard docks with private water access and are subject to increased price points here. Homes here often feature carports and screened-in-ground pools and are typically fronted by spacious manicured yards with enough room for a few palm trees and tropical flora. “Sandpiper Bay attracts a range of buyers from first-timers to families with larger lots reaching upwards of half an acre compared to other neighborhoods within the area,” says Iandoli.
Many of the larger homes with larger lots are of the Mediterranean style.
