Moving to the Treasure Coast? Common questions

What cities make up the Treasure Coast?

Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Jensen Beach, Sebastian, Vero Beach, and Fort Pierce. The Atlantic coast from about Vero Beach south through Jupiter.

Why do people move to the Treasure Coast vs. South Florida?

It's the South Florida climate and Atlantic access at 40-60% of the Miami/Fort Lauderdale price. Port St. Lucie has been one of the fastest-growing cities in America for exactly this reason.

What about hurricane risk?

Moderate-to-high Atlantic exposure — Frances and Jeanne (both 2004) hit back-to-back and caused major damage. Insurance is cheaper than South Florida but more expensive than inland Central Florida.

Is the Treasure Coast good for retirees?

Very — large 55+ communities (PGA Village, The Preserve, Tradition), lower cost than South Florida, still warm in winter, and strong medical infrastructure around Cleveland Clinic's Indian River hospital in Vero.
