Finding community in Royal Park, near downtown Vero Beach
Found just off the 'Miracle Mile' – one of the most famous stretches of roads for shopping and dining in the city – and not far from the Intracoastal Waterway, Royal Park is part of the original growth of downtown Vero Beach, Florida. With the construction of the Vero Beach Country Club in the early 20th century came Mediterranean and Spanish Revival-style homes that still stand and are selling today, and the demand to own one is part of the appeal. "Vero Beach is, sadly, no longer our secret," says Eric Attio, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty of VB. He's lived and sold homes in Vero Beach for 20 years. "When people live in central Vero Beach, they don't want to live anywhere else; it's a desirable zip code. The market is moving crazy fast, especially for these more retro areas."

Vintage homes surround the Vero Beach Country Club
Housing in Royal Park is highly varied, with most homes dating from 1940 to 1980, and some even built as far back as 1920. Ranch homes and Spanish Revival-inspired architectural styles are common, painted in pastels and earthy tones. When Vero Beach began its peak construction in the mid-20th century, the areas closest to it followed the trend. "When Vero Beach was really getting established between the 50s and 70s, it got all built up," says Chris Junker, a Realtor with Re/Max Crown Realty. He currently lives in nearby Sebastian and has a decade of experience selling in the area. "What's happened lately is that they've renovated the old houses because there's just not room near downtown for new construction; that's all on the outskirts." Two-bedroom condos are priced between $130,000 and $200,000, while midcentury single-family homes sell between $250,000 and $400,000; ones with higher price points have been extensively renovated. The closer to the Vero Beach Country Club, the more the price climbs. Custom and unique Spanish Revival homes often cost between $600,000 and $850,000.

Exploring the shops and restaurants of Miracle Mile
At the southern portion of Royal Park is a large commercial and business area shared with downtown Vero Beach. Residents can find big-name errand stops such as Publix, Fresh Market and Ulta, alongside important necessities such as banking locations and Urgent Care. While the plazas that run along 21st Street, which is locally known as the Miracle Mile, have plenty of chain stores and restaurants, they're also where residents can find dozens of locally owned businesses. From the salon services at La Beaute' Market to the wall of instruments at Melody Music, personal flare from the community is a large part of what makes 21st Street unique. There are also plenty of local eats to try, whether it be the seasonal flavors at Sweet Kiss Ice Cream or the fresh sushi at Mai Thai Bistro.

Annual events with the Vero community
Since Royal Park is located at the heart of Vero Beach, residents have immediate access to the many annual and weekly events downtown. Vero Beach has several well-attended events, with one of the biggest being the Under the Oaks Art Show in March, where over 80,000 guests come to see the artisan vendors' creative works. In February, great eats, fine reds and live performances come together at the Vero Beach Food, Wine and Music Festival, with all proceeds going to local charities.
Schooling with Indian River County
Royal Park falls under the Indian River County School District, which receives an A-minus grade from Niche as a district. Many local kids will be sent to Beachland Elementary for kindergarten through fifth grade. The school is graded with a B-plus and makes it into the top 10 of the best elementary schools in the county. Students can move on to Gifford Middle, graded with a B, before heading to A-minus-rated Vero Beach High. The high school offers dual enrollment with Indian River State College so students can take college-level classes at the college, online, or during the summer.

Tee time and exploring the Atlantic shores
At the center of Royal Park is the Vero Beach Country Club, founded in 1924 and with an 18-hole golf course spanning 100 acres. They host both casual and tournament golf and have several dining venues, clubhouses with weekly events and a resort-style pool. Bordering the neighborhood to the west is Pocahontas Park, where residents can take their kids to the playground or meet up with friends for games of pickleball and shuffleboard. Crossing over the Intracoastal Waterway via Merrill Barber Bridge, the shores of the Atlantic are just 3 miles away for prime beach lounging and swimming.

Navigating nearby Vero and the East Coast
Royal Park, just like the rest of Vero Beach, heavily relies on Route 1 as a major thoroughfare that runs directly up the East Coast. Ramps to Interstate 95 are just a few miles away via 20th Street, and while many residents have cars, the area is considered quite walkable and bikeable. To catch flights, Orlando Melbourne International Airport is 33 miles north. For health needs and emergencies, the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital – the largest medical center in Vero Beach – is less than a mile away.
