Waterfront-living by the Indian River

Settled on Florida’s Treasure Coast, White City is named with reference to the display of electric lights on white stucco buildings at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago designed by architect Daniel Burnham. The neighborhood was founded in the late 1800s by Danish immigrants who came to Florida from the Midwest with the expanding railroad. White City maintains its small-town charm and rural feel while accommodating a short 5-mile commute into downtown Fort Pierce, while also offering a mix of green spaces at White City Park and nearby essentials at Town South Plaza. Locals here enjoy an authentic Floridian lifestyle, boating on St. Lucie River, sunbathing at South Beach Park and supporting local farms at Nelson’s Family Farms. “White City is celebrated for its serene beauty and the warmth of the close-knit community,” says local Heather Price, Broker-Owner at The Price is Right Real Estate, LLC. “The community offers a peaceful respite from the fast-paced lifestyle found in larger cities.”

The community is primarily residential and offers both Single-family homes and condo options ranging from new construction to historic waterfront houses from the early 1900s. With a median sales price of $350,000, price points here can range from the low $200,000s to upwards of seven figures depending on the age, size, and location of the property.

Flood risk and transportation around White City

Residents seeking public transit options can take the Area Regional Transit (ART), a fare-free public transit system serving the cities of Fort Pierce. White City riders can start their ride on bus route 1, which operates along U.S. Route 1 and stops throughout the community. For those seeking to travel longer distances, the Treasure Coast International Airport (FPR) is only 10 miles away from White City.
