An eye on the skies above Witham Field

In a neighborhood dominated by its namesake, Witham Field offers coastal living among the palm groves, with waterfront views close by – or for some residents, right outside their back windows. “It’s a great location,” says Adam Brown, Realtor with Waterfront Properties. A boater himself and a specialist in waterfront properties, he adds “It’s also close to U.S. 1, and Manatee Pocket which has protected deep-water dockage.” Witham Field is a popular destination for those who enjoy an active lifestyle, as noted by the wealth of adult-living condo communities here. Nearby, local and regional shopping and dining options provide for plenty of nights out on the town, and a variety of annual events and clubs also keep residents active.

Recreation from Sailfish Sands to beach sands

Residents of Witham Field have access to public parks and the sands of the Treasure Coast, just moments from their homes. Sailfish Sands, a municipal golf course, sits adjacent to the Witham Airfield and offers both an 18-hole and a 9-hole course. The nearby YMCA of the Treasure Coast offers plenty of indoor and outdoor options to stay healthy, while Sandsprit Park to the south is an excellent spot to relax and take a short walk. While all waterfront property in the neighborhood is privately-owned, the Stuart Public Beach is only a 5-mile drive over the causeway – and on the way, residents can stop off at the Stuart Causeway Park for a calm picnic and a chance to spot some wildlife.

From Kingswood condos to docks on the St. Lucie

Condo-living contrasts with palatial waterfront estates dotting the secluded roads of the Witham Field neighborhood. For most buyers, the over 55 modern condos in well-maintained, palm-covered communities like Conquistador, Vista Pines or Kingswood offer great deals, ranging from $175,000 to $450,000. Residents looking for the ultimate in waterfront living turn to the modern homes along the St. Lucie River. “This region, there’s multiple rivers, and we’ve got over three thousand waterfront homes,” Brown says. Sitting amidst lush groves of palms, these estates can top $4 million in price and generally include 50 to 100 feet of water access, private docks with slips, and lifts for watercrafts. Block construction is the standard, to deal with harsh coastal climates, and many of these homes also feature luxury amenities like four or more bedrooms, modern stainless steel chef’s kitchens, garages and pools – topped off by sweeping water views.

From flying to floating, non-stop activities

Hosting the Stuart Air Show every November, Witham Field brings in aircraft fans from across the region. While Witham Field residents will need to prepare for the noise and traffic, they also get front row seats to watch F-22 and F-16 demo teams, aerobatics teams, jump teams, and more, from the comfort of their own patios and backyards. Looking to the sea instead of the skies, the St. Lucie River is a hub of activity. “On the Fourth of July, Stuart closes down the river and does a fireworks display over the river,” Brown says. “People watch from the boardwalk, boaters go out and watch from the water, the whole town comes out to watch.” Then every December, the Christmas boat parade offers waterfront residents a Christmas show on their doorstep—making its way from Stuart to Manatee Pocket. The Martin County Fairgrounds, located across the street from the airfield, hosts the annual Martin County Fair, while the Barn Theatre provides musicals ranging from comedies to classics throughout the year. Residents love to go to downtown Stuart for a night out, Brown says, “We’ve got really the only downtown in the region, and it’s a real downtown! There’s a mile-long boardwalk, a little downtown area, Stuart Main Street puts on Dancing in the Streets, they do monthly arts festivals – there’s so much going on right there.”

Local barbecue shows the Treasure Coast isn’t just seafood

While most shopping and dining options sit along the Dixie Highway strip, to the north local favorite The Fresh Market offers groceries and premium foods, with small local dining spots like Carmela’s Brick Oven Pizza and Carsons Tavern in Cedar Point Plaza. Stuart Centre, with local Greek favorite Mr. Gyros, has retail ranging from HomeGoods to Office Depot, and just a little further south regional favorite grocery store Publix and natural and organic grocery Sprouts Farmers Market offer something for every diet. Stop by Southern Pig & Cattle Co. for award-winning barbecue, served by the Tomlinson and Nolan families for over four decades.

Highly-rated Martin County High School and private options

Served by the Martin County School Districts, students in Witham Field attend J. D. Parker Elementary School, rated B-minus by Niche, for kindergarten through 5th grade. Stuart Middle School, with an A-minus rating from Niche, moves students from 6th through 8th grade. Martin County High School, with available AP and Career and Technical curriculums, is where students finish their schooling, and is rated A-minus as well by Niche. Numerous parochial and private schools including Bridges Montessori and Redeemer Lutheran service the region, with K through 5 schools as well as private schools that cover the full K through 12 education.

A quick drive to the beaches, downtown, or Martin North emergency care

Witham Field residents are car-dependent, with sparse sidewalks located along the two-way palm-lined roads and no public transit serving the neighborhoods. However, with U.S. Route A1A running along the top of the neighborhood, residents enjoy easy access to the center of Stuart as well as the barrier islands and their beachy vibes. Pilots will enjoy the proximity to Witham Field – for some it will be only a short bicycle ride away. International destinations can be reached from Palm Beach International Airport, roughly 40 miles south. Martin North Hospital provides emergency care for the region and is less than 5 miles from anywhere in the neighborhood.

Airplanes and hurricanes

The major feature of Witham Field is the Witham Field public-use airport, which operates from 6 AM to 10 PM year-round. Residents should expect traffic during those hours, although the bulk of traffic comes during the daylight and it’s not large planes. Brown – who is a pilot himself – says, “It’s a smaller airport, it does have a long runway but you don’t have passenger jet service coming and going.” The event calendar also brings traffic in from outside of the region – including for the events at the Martin County Fairgrounds – which can sometimes add on travel time due to the relatively limited road access to the waterfront homes. Additionally, residents understand they live in a region prone to hurricanes and tropical storms and know to prepare accordingly. Emergency supplies and evacuation plans are some things that almost every resident keeps on hand, particularly as the peak season approaches.
