A waterfront community
Hugging the confluence of the western and southern branches of the St. Lucie River, the North River Shores neighborhood is one of the most highly sought-after areas in all of Martin County. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Martin County, North River Shores has several canals that connect to the St. Lucie River, affording residents easy access to the water from multiple locations, including the private neighborhood boat ramp. “People move here because they want to be near the water,” says Realtor Barbara Johnson, who has been representing real estate transactions in the area for 45 years. “A lot of the people who buy in the neighborhood want their boat in their backyard or on their own dock, if they’re on the river.”
US1 is the main thoroughfare in North River Shores, providing access to shopping and dining.
No matter where you are in North River Shores, you're very close to the water.

An active community
That waterfront lifestyle is one of the primary draws for residents who choose to call North River Shores home, but it’s just one of the many outdoor amenities available to residents here. Neighborhood golfers can tee off at the public 18-hole course at the Shores of North River Golf Club, and racquet-sports fans can play both tennis and pickleball at the public North River Shores Tennis Club. “It’s a very active neighborhood,” says Johnson. “There are a lot of serious anglers, but also just people who like to be out and doing things.”
Additionally, five neighborhood parks provide residents with ample opportunity to get outside and enjoy the Florida sunshine. On the banks of the St. Lucie River, Nosaw Park is home to the neighborhood’s private boat ramp for the exclusive use of neighborhood residents and their guests, as well as a basketball court and several picnic tables. Lake Park offers a playground, a horseshoes pit, a picnic pavilion and a fishing pier. Half Mile Lake Park and North Shore Park are both relaxing spots to walk the dog or just sit on a bench and marvel at the beautiful scenery. The Duck Pond, which is actually a stormwater retention pond that serves as a home to Muscovy ducks, offers excellent fishing, along with park benches, picnic tables and a neighborhood message board.
The North River Shores Tennis Club has well maintained courts and offers camps and clinics.
Golfers enjoy public access to the 18-holes at Shores of North River Golf Club.

A home with a view
Many homes in North River Shores are waterfront, some on the St. Lucie River and others on canals connected to the river, but regardless of location, the spectacular views from all over the neighborhood will remain free from obstruction. Martin County regulations prohibit any building taller than four stories, so there is no fear of a structure blotting out the vista. Potential buyers here do need to be aware, however, that the neighborhood is composed of member properties and non-member properties. Member properties are those whose current owners have signed on to the neighborhood’s covenants regarding home construction and are, therefore, restricted in terms of what modifications can be made to the existing structure. Real estate representatives can get the information for you from the neighborhood’s accounting firm. All homes in the neighborhood are subject to a review process for any new construction or modification to an existing structure.
Home styles in the neighborhood include both condominiums and detached single-family homes. The median price of real estate is $610,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $284 per square foot. A one-bedroom/one-bathroom condominium can list for $185,000 and a riverfront three-bedroom/two-bathroom ranch-style home with a Florida room and a detached garage can sell for $1.7 million.
Many waterfront homes have docks and access to the St Lucie River in North River Shores.
Condominiums in North River Shores can be found right on the St Lucie River right by US1.
