The year-round sunshine at Winter Beach
Found along the Intracoastal Waterway, this waterside community earned itself the motto of "Where the Sunshine Spends the Winter" in 1922. Today, residents of Winter Beach are still enjoying the Florida warmth, access to both the Indian River and Atlantic, and contemporary, well-planned subdivisions. "The location to the beach is really good, and a lot of the communities revolve around golf courses," says Scott Mazmanian, a Realtor with Dale Sorensen Real Estate, Inc., who has a decade of experience selling homes. "It's a little funny because areas around the golf clubs and subdivisions are a bit sparse. It's a niche area."
Winter Beach is a quiet town surrounded by golf courses and water recreation.

Contemporary homes and in-community amenitites
Winter Beach is mainly comprised of subdivisions that focus on providing community amenities, such as tennis courts and pools. The largest ones - the golf course communities - also have memberships through the golf clubs that include social events for residents. HOA fees vary drastically depending on the size and exclusivity of a subdivision, typically based on whether it's gated and has private recreation opportunities. Within the community is Good Shepard Church of God, a highly-attended church for the Vero Beach area. Homes in Winter Beach are normally 2,000 square feet and larger, which is above the national average. The pricing also trends higher than the average for the Vero Beach area, as residents can find large, manicured lawns, household amenities such as in-ground pools and community recreation areas. Architectural styles borrow from Spanish and Mediterranean Revival, with red-tiled roofs and arched entryways and windows. Properties on the smaller side in neighborhoods with lower HOA fees typically sell between $350,000 and $450,000, but the most common price tags are between $500,000 and $700,000. Large homes with lake or river access can sell between $800,000 and $2 million. Many homes are fitted with hurricane-proofing garage doors and windows, and homeowners are advised to purchase flood insurance.

Tee time at Sandridge and visiting Kiwanis Hobart Park
There are several golf clubs in Winter Beach where residents head for tee time. One of the most well-known is Sandridge Golf Club, which has two 18-hole championship layouts designed by Ron Garl in the late 20th century. Sandridge is open to the public, while Bent Pine Golf Club is reserved for members. At the north of the area is Kiwanis Hobart Park, where people can take their kids to the park, fish at the lake and meet for lunch under the pavilions. Winter Beach's position on the Indian River means residents have immediate access to water activity via both public and private launches, with boating and kayaking being favorite pastimes. Crossing the Wabasso Causeway, the shores of the Atlantic are just 5 miles away.
