The riverfront lifestyle of Wabasso
When the Florida sun sets over Wabasso, residents can see the orange reflected off the bordering Indian River and silhouettes of cars heading back from the beach across the Wabasso Causeway. Both an unincorporated and census-designated community, Wabasso is just 5 miles south of the small beach city of Sebastian. Best known for its meticulously sculpted golf courses and immediate access to the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean, Wabasso has seen an uptick in popularity in the 21st century. It may be welcoming gated communities and new country clubs, but packed sand roads are still dotted with bait shops and beach equipment rentals. Wabasso was, and still is, a community for those searching for a waterfront lifestyle.
Many Wabasso residents live in close proximity to one of the many waterways in the area.

Tee time at John's Island Club West and water recreation
A large portion of Wabasso is sculpted by golf courses – namely, RedStick Golf Club and John's Island Club West, both member-only private clubs. Many residents in Wabasso have memberships for the clubs' diverse selection of recreation. At John's Island Club West, members and their guests can access three 18-hole golf courses, with the 300-acre West Course standing out for its sand ridges. The club also provides tennis courts, croquet, and weekly activities like trivia nights and luncheons. West Wabasso Park features a large playground, lit tennis and basketball courts, and a multi-purpose field for baseball and softball. One of Wabasso's biggest draws is that it's bordered by the Indian River. "The riverfront is just so pristine; there's no wall of development," says Chris Junker, a Realtor with Re/Max Crown Realty. He lives in Sebastian and has a decade of experience selling in the area. "People ride their bikes down it all the time, and it feels like you're seeing the whole reason why anyone chooses to live here." The Wabasso Causeway directly connects to Wabasso Island and Wabasso Beach. Boating, kayaking, fishing and beach lounging are favorite pastimes of those living in Wabasso.

New development moves into Wabasso
The original homes of Wabasso were mainly constructed between the 1970s and 1990s, with common architectural styles being ranch homes and bungalows. Many of them were taken down for new construction, but those that were renovated sell between $200,000 and $300,000. "Vero Beach and all of the waterfront areas are sadly no longer a secret, so the market is moving crazy fast, and you're seeing all kinds of new construction," says Eric Attio, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty of VB who's lived in the area for 20 years. "I see many people come in with big deposits who just finance the rest because they want to get in now." Wabasso, since 2010, has seen an explosion of new development. Contemporary homes with manicured lawns, stucco exteriors and luxury amenities have popped up near the riverfront and southern corridor, sporting price tags between $450,000 and $650,000.

Where to run errands and grab a post-beach sandwich
Errand stops and local shops are dotted along Route 1, and residents can find Publix, Walgreens and banking locations within the area. "Sebastian itself isn't huge, so it's a 10-minute drive for most people to go to Roseland if they need to do big shopping at Walmart or Home Depot," Junker says. The locally owned and operated Twisted Pickle Deli is a favorite for stopping into after returning from the beach, using fresh, local products to make creative sandwiches.
