Luxury Real Estate in Hobe Sound, FL
Hobe Sound offers a mix of coastal estates, gated communities, and acreage properties, often priced at $800,000 or more. Many high-end homes sit along the Intracoastal Waterway, in exclusive areas like Jupiter Island or The Soundings. Architectural styles include Old Florida ranches, Mediterranean-influenced villas, and newer custom builds that emphasize privacy and outdoor living.
Gated developments such as Loblolly and Medalist Village feature golf, clubhouses, and private security, while areas east of U.S. 1 offer homes with water views and access to Hobe Sound Public Beach. Properties tend to offer larger lots compared to denser urban settings, making them suitable for pool installations or guest houses. Buyers typically include retirees, snowbirds, and professionals seeking a primary or second residence with a relaxed atmosphere.
The proximity to Jupiter Island, Jonathan Dickinson State Park, and unspoiled coastline adds appeal without the congestion found in other parts of South Florida. With limited commercial development and strong preservation rules, Hobe Sound retains its appeal for those prioritizing space, quiet, and coastal access.
About Hobe Sound, Florida
Hobe Sound is a census-designated place in Martin County along Florida’s Treasure Coast, with a population of just over 13,000 residents as of 2020. Once dubbed “Picture City” in the 1920s, the area was briefly planned as a movie production town during Florida’s land boom.
While those plans faded, remnants like street names referencing Greek mythology and historic street lamps remain. The town’s history stretches back further, with origins tied to the Jaega people and early Spanish explorers. Its current layout stretches from Port Salerno to the north down to Jonathan Dickinson State Park on the southern border.
The community balances its natural environment with thoughtful planning and preservation efforts. Hobe Sound Public Beach, located on nearby Jupiter Island, provides direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. US Highway 1 functions as the commercial corridor, with A1A and Bridge Road serving as local access points to parks and coastal zones.
Unlike nearby cities, Hobe Sound remains unincorporated, with community representation handled by county officials and a local advisory committee. Despite its growth, the area preserves a strong residential identity supported by protected green spaces and controlled development.
Entertainment and Amenities
Hobe Sound offers outdoor access and low-impact amenities that match its natural surroundings. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to beaches, including Hobe Sound Public Beach, one of the county’s four lifeguarded sites.
The area is also adjacent to Jonathan Dickinson State Park, which offers hiking, kayaking, and nature education. Downtown features small cafés, galleries, and local markets rather than large-scale commercial centers. Annual events and seasonal art installations offer low-key entertainment and foster community interaction.
Golf and private clubs form another key part of the lifestyle, with facilities like Medalist Golf Club attracting both seasonal and year-round residents. The quiet layout supports walking, biking, and limited vehicular traffic in residential pockets. Residents can also access the MARTY bus service and nearby intercity rail stations in Stuart and West Palm Beach.
Preservation groups and local government actively manage the conservation of the coastline and native plant life. For those seeking low-density living with coastal access and small-town amenities, Hobe Sound offers a slower pace without sacrificing proximity to regional hubs.
