About Tequesta, Florida
Tequesta is a waterfront village in northern Palm Beach County that blends a residential atmosphere with strategic coastal access. It borders both Martin and Palm Beach counties, giving residents close proximity to Jupiter while remaining quieter and less developed.
The area spans the eastern shoreline of the Loxahatchee River and has several points of access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Most zoning favors low-density housing, helping preserve its established tree canopy and quiet roads. While the village has its own fire and police departments, services and dining options are available in nearby Jupiter. Buyers often prioritize Tequesta for its limited land use, privacy, and easy water access.
The population is just under 6,000, which contributes to its small-town feel and strong neighborhood identity. Streets are lined with mature vegetation, and many homes feature private docks or sit near marinas. A network of quiet side streets makes walking and biking part of daily life for many residents.
Tequesta is also home to Constitution Park, a central green space that hosts seasonal events and community programming. Public boat ramps and kayak launches are available nearby, offering direct access to the Loxahatchee River. The market here tends to move quickly due to the limited inventory and location appeal, and we’re ready to guide you through that search.
Luxury Real Estate in Tequesta, FL
Luxury homes in Tequesta generally begin in the $850,000 range and increase into the multi-million-dollar tier depending on lot size and water orientation. Direct riverfront or Intracoastal access increases property value, especially when paired with private docks and upgraded seawalls. Many homes have undergone full renovations or were custom-built within the past two decades.
Common features include three-car garages, outdoor kitchens, and hurricane-rated glass. Buyers come from across South Florida and out of state, especially those searching for less dense alternatives to Jupiter or Palm Beach. Our team at Coastal Real Estate Pros can assist you in identifying properties that align with your lifestyle, timing, and privacy needs.
Interior neighborhoods like Tequesta Pines and Rolling Hills still see high demand due to larger lots and their distance from high-traffic areas. Gated communities like Heritage Oaks provide more structure and amenities while maintaining the area’s laid-back character.
Riverfront parcels, particularly those on Riverside Drive or along private cul-de-sacs, often include long water views and generous setback spacing. Some older homes from the 1960s and 1970s have been fully modernized while retaining low-pitched roofs and masonry construction. Newer construction remains limited, but several high-end remodels have come to market over the past few years.
With limited land available, working with a local Realtor® like Zach Greenberg can help you stay ahead of listings before they’re widely marketed.
Entertainment and Amenities
Tequesta’s amenities favor outdoor activity, boutique shopping, and arts-based attractions over large commercial developments. Constitution Park hosts public events, fitness trails, and tennis courts in the heart of the village. The Lighthouse ArtCenter Gallery and School of Art serve as a local hub for exhibitions and community programs.
Dining options include several local seafood spots and family-owned cafes, often within walking or biking distance of many neighborhoods. Marinas such as Tequesta’s Blowing Rocks Marina offer dry storage and quick water access. Whether you prefer kayaking on the river or dinner near the inlet, options remain close without oversaturation.
For everyday errands, groceries and services are available in nearby Jupiter, usually a 5 to 10-minute drive depending on traffic. Beaches are easily reached via US-1 and include Coral Cove and Jupiter Beach Park. Golfers can explore courses like Tequesta Country Club, Turtle Creek, and Jupiter Hills nearby.
Healthcare is easily accessible through Jupiter Medical Center and various specialty providers in North Palm Beach County. The town’s small footprint means most destinations are just a short drive or bike ride away. That accessibility, paired with controlled growth, is part of what keeps property values consistent and inventory limited.
