Jensen Beach Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
2 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Jensen Beach is an unincorporated Treasure Coast community occupying the northeast corner of Martin County, between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. It borders the town of Ocean Breeze, unincorporated Rio, and the city of Stuart so closely that several complexes marketed as "Jensen Beach" apartments — including well-known names like Portofino at Jensen Beach and Heritage Bay — were confirmed by boundary checks to actually sit just outside the official CDP line.
Confirmed in-CDP rents range from a modest, unlisted-rate small property to $1,995-$2,895 at the newest 2022-built community, generally in line with or slightly below Martin County's broader coastal rental market as of mid-2026.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
