The county website shows Hobe Sound Elementary. It doesn't make any sense, you can't pay Martin County taxes (school included) and then attend a school in another county.

Either way, welcome to the neighborhood!

Trust me I know the boundry online shows different if you type the address in palm beach schools it doesn't show up if you type it in martin county scools it doesn't show up either the realator who I got the house from who lives around the corner had no idea either and he has pre school age kids limestone creek saidvtheyvdid a realignment or something realistically it is probably cheaper for martin county to pay palm beach county for the few kids in the area over run a bus all the way around there. We get into our house and you are welcome to come over for a cold one.

You will appreciate Island Way once you start living there. Until a couple years ago the only way in/out of the Moorings was Lox River Rd or east through Tequesta Country Club. Island Way west to I95 is a breeze compared to the other two alternatives.

Pay attention in Tequesta, cops have NOTHING to do but write tickets. Stops signs/speeding are their two favorite. Tequesta drive between the bridge and Tequesta Country Club is a daily hangout. I95 southbound has been busy too with FHP trying to keep that 5 lane speedway down to 65.

I was concerned with same thing as I found some really nice homes in Tequesta, right on the line. The listings show the Middle school and High Schools (which I am interested in) as Jupiter Middle and High. Like you guys mentioned Tequesta is in Martin County.

When talking to a local realtor, she stated that some of the MArtin Coutny Schools do feed into Palm BEach County.

She also mentioned that even if you are not in the school district of choice, you can apply to have your child attend one of the choice schools if GPA permit; from what she said they actually recruit. I am a little nervous about this though. I like a sure thing and I dont want to risk something like this to find out it can't happen.

For High School the request has to be made at start of 8th grade year.

Other than Tequesta, Egret landing as Jupiter Sensation mentioned is most likely the place I will end up.

Thanks again for all the great positive info. I can't wait to visit this month as our hopes our high for Jupiter and it being everything we have researched.

Just a lot of things that have to happen on this end first...we have 2 years to do this before my oldest of three starts High School so we have some time.....but not much. ...anyone lookn to buy my waterfront home in Ocean Pines...Boat included!

Most of Tequesta is in Palm Beach County.....the goofy part is the zip code 33469. 33469 jumps north of Countyline road which can be Jupiter or Tequesta but also Martin County.

Hey Enforcer when looking in Egret be sure to have the realtor show you the boat storage area.

See I have youg kids and I wanted limestone creek. So my options where more limited most of the subdivisions mentioned are outside of this area.

Yeah with my shop/wharehouse being in Ft Pierce I needed 95 or turnpike access. I hit the turnpike and can go from door to door in about 35 minutes. So yes I thought island way was great I can get to 95 with one stoplight.

JUPITER PULSARE

My kids went to Independance Middle School in Abacoa and Jupiter High School off of Military Trail. Both were good schools..

There are advantages to being in PB Country. Jupiter has some great accessible shoreline, parks, very nice town. My father lived in Juno Beach oceanside, and it was fantastic to be able to walk or bike from there all the way to the end of Jupiter along the water.

In most counties, the gazillion dollar views are not nearly that accessible, but their taxes are lower. I think PBC is worth the extra.

Nice...I will I was just wondering about that hopefully my boat will be gone by then and I can start on the next project!

I also see that Egret has some restrictions on vehicles, same as where I live now so not really bothered by it, sometimes a good thing. ... Do they allow SUV's I know that sounds crazy but I have heard that some communities don't allow suvs.

Also any empty lots left in that school district area that serves Jupiter High School?

Thx again everyone for all the good info....., what about the negatives..I did grow up in Suburbs of Washington D.C. and I am in L.E. so I am very famaliar with problems associated with living near the big city..Jupiter seems far enough away from Miami ( too far from MANGOS!!!) and Ft Laurderdale but I know there are some issues in the surronding area.

... !! P.S. I am extremely excited to see that there is an Italian Feast every year in Abacoa Center. ..especially important being 100% first generation italiano..this is great!!

Jupiter Sunsation

Lauderdale is 55-60 miles away, Miami 90-100 so not a terrible ride for a special occasion (wouldn't want to commute daily).

Sadly the Italianfest is a complete embarrassment (think of leftover pizza, spaghetti O's being sold from hot dog carts).

Egret is ok on vehicles....SUVs/pickups ok, just no duallies, no lettered vehicles, no work vehicles (ladder racks, etc). No boats/bikes/RV's left outside but to be fair most of the town of Jupiter has similar restrictions.

Empty lots are still around but in most cases if they didn't sell in the boom of 2004-06 it was because they were overpriced even back then. Now the owners are still trying to get the money they wanted back in 04-06 which is double what it is worth now! You are better off buying built homes, they are cheaper than if you built new today. House prices plummeted but construction costs have stayed pretty consistent.
