Hobe Sound Real Estate

With a history that dates back to 1696, Hobe Sound, Florida was first founded when a British ship en route to Philadelphia sunk in an area near to the Jupiter Inlet. After being helped and cared for by the Tequesta and Jove Indians, the Quaker passengers settled in the area and named it Hobe Sound. Since then, the area between Stuart and Jupiter has become a popular place for those who desire a relaxed, island-like lifestyle with the convenience of modern amenities and attractions. Real estate in Hobe Sound encompasses parts of Jupiter Island and includes waterfront properties positioned along the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, the sea border of the Intracoastal Waterway, the banks of the Loxahatchee River, or the perimeter of meandering coastal canals.

Taking a cue from its Native American heritage, Hobe Sound continues to be one of the most environmentally-conscious towns in the state of Florida. Designated areas like Jupiter Island prohibit commercial development and limit residential growth. In fact, the island is protected by the Audubon Society, Nature Conservancy, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Hobe Sound also has numerous parks, many of which showcase the area’s organic beauty and peaceful charm. One such park is Jonathan Dickinson State Park, a riverfront campground that features an equestrian facility, canoeing and kayaking, hiking trails, bicycle paths, fishing holes, snorkeling spots, playground, boat tours, geocaching, waymarking, letterboxing, and more. Other popular parks include William “Doc” Myers Park, Zeus Park, Greenfield Park, and Blowing Rocks Preserve, a restored barrier island protected by the U.S. Nature Conservancy.

Apart from outdoor water recreation and championship golf, residents of Hobe Sound enjoy visiting the Hobe Sound Nature Center and Wildlife Refuge, the Jupiter Lighthouse and Museum, and Harbourside Place in Jupiter, an open-air venue anchored by the Wyndham Grand Hotel. A relatively new complex, Harbourside Place boasts high-end retail shops, remarkable restaurants, boat docks, and an outdoor amphitheater.
