Jonathan's Landing

Jonathan’s Landing floats on the Intracoastal Waterway in the heart of Jupiter, just 2 miles west of the Atlantic oceanfront. The community’s namesake, Jonathan Dickenson, was a Quaker merchant from Port Royal, Jamaica whose ship wrecked here in 1697. Today, Jonathan’s Landing offers a unique atmosphere, and looks much different than the undeveloped expanse of sandy shoreline Dickenson stumbled upon back then. Seawinds Realty’s William Funkey, a realtor with more than a decade of local experience, says: “This is a highly sought-after, decidedly luxurious community. It’s gated and situated around the golf club, and the homes here are grand and very well-kept. But it’s a beach neighborhood, so it’s a little more laid back. It’s totally normal for people to wear sandals around all the time.”

You’ll find condos and Key West and Mediterranean Villa-inspired homes lining these quiet residential streets, which meander around Jonathan’s Landing Golf Club’s lush greenways and the sparkling blue waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Towering palms shade manicured front lawns ornamented with garden beds full of flowering rhododendrons and hibiscuses. The stately homes here range in price from $630,000 for a two-bedroom condo to more than $1 million for a three-bedroom single-family home. The median price hovers around the $845,000 mark, close to the median for the wider city. “Home prices here have risen a lot recently, what with the surrounding area’s recent population boom,” says Funkey.

Jonathan’s Landing students are served by highly rated schools in the Palm Beach County Public Schools system. Many youngsters between kindergarten and second grade go to Lighthouse Elementary School, which earned a B grade from Niche in 2023. Students between third and fifth grade go to Beacon Cove Intermediate School, which earned an A-minus from Niche and a 10/10 GreatSchools Summary Rating. Older students in Grades 6 through 12 attend Jupiter Middle and Jupiter High. The middle school earned a B-plus from Niche in 2023 and the high school earned an A. Teens at Jupiter High have the opportunity to participate in a variety of Choice Academies and in-house programs, from criminal justice and horticulture to Army J.R.O.T.C. and medical sciences.

Golfing enthusiasts enjoy easy access to the private Jonathan’s Landing Golf Club, which lolls over 600 acres of the neighborhood’s center. The clubhouse is conveniently located less than a mile from most homes, many of which boast views of at least one of the three championship courses. Club members can participate in a selection of competitive or social golf programs, play a variety of racquet sports or work out in the Sports & Wellness Center. The club also has three dining options for members to choose from, whether they’re in the mood for a fancy date night or a Saturday brunch. Burt Reynolds Park, a 35-acre island accessible by car via Route 1 or by boat via the Intracoastal Waterway, also offers residents an outdoor escape. Just 2 miles north (by car), the park has everything from boat slips and launch ramps to picnic areas, beach volleyball and a classic playground.

For your groceries and other everyday essentials, head just a mile north to The Shoppes of Jonathan’s Landing, at the corner of Old Dixie Highway and East Indiantown Road. There, you’ll find your local Publix anchoring a variety of other retail and dining options. Head back east across Route 1 to catch a matinee at Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, just over a mile and a half from home. Then, for dinner, visit The Twisted Tuna less than a mile farther south down the highway. Known for “seafood with a twist,” the local eatery’s menu teems with fresh seafood and traditional Italian dishes. With three full liquor bars, their drinks menu is extensive, too.

With amenities abounding both inside and out, it’s easy to see why Jonathan’s Landing is so popular.
