From snowbirds to young professionals and families

Sewall’s Point was once a hidden South Florida gem for retirees seeking warmer climates, but it has now become a popular community to set up a home for a diverse crowd. "When I first moved here in 1995, there were a lot of snowbird residents. Now, it's turning the tide like the rest of Florida. There are a lot of young professionals, young families, retirees and other full-time residents here year-round,” says Anne Schmidt, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Realty and a long-time resident. This Martin County town sits along a peninsula and enjoys low crime (it scores a 1 out of 10 on the CAP Index, lower than the national average of 4) and a traditional suburban lifestyle. “It's very family-oriented; there are events for the kids, like the Fourth of July bike parade, pie-eating contests and picnics. My kids used to go on the Easter egg hunt, and recently, I brought my grandkids to it — full circle."

Custom homes on landscaped lawns

Homes in Sewall's Point are custom-built, so there are various designs, such as Key West-style estates, Mediterranean Revivals, French Colonial Revivals, and traditional ranch-style. They sit on large, meticulously landscaped lawns full of small palm trees and other tropical plant life. The streets are narrow, and sidewalks are scarce, but there is plenty of room for evening walks with the dog or afternoon bike rides. Prices range from $755,000 for three bedrooms and two bathrooms to $2.9 million for a four-bedroom, six-bathroom home on the water. "The waterfront lots are larger," Schmidt says. "And the town is on a ridge, so the west side is higher up. Those waterfront homes are more desirable since they're deep-water lots 20 to 25 feet above sea level, perfect for docking big boats."

Route 714 and I-95 are nearby for commuting

Since the neighborhood is on a peninsula, it's removed from major roadways, and commuting can be tricky. Route A1A leads to Stuart, and from there, Route 714 and Interstate 95 are accessible. Residents can then head south to West Palm Beach, about 45 miles or Orlando to the north, about 145 miles.
