Vero Beach Real Estate: Weekend Getaway Properties for South Florida Residents

A little over an hour north of West Palm Beach lies the quiet getaway of Vero Beach. Real estate in Vero Beach is more affordable than comparable properties in South Florida, which is why residents in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties are looking at homes for sale in Vero Beach to either retire to or use a weekend getaway where they can live the hustle and bustle of the big city behind.

The Allure of Vero Beach Real Estate

Twenty-six miles of beachfront define the coastline of Vero Beach along the Atlantic Ocean. Beachfront property in Vero Beach costs significantly less than any found in South Florida. What visitors looking at homes for sale in Vero Beach will find that it has the quality and the beauty offered in Palm Beach real estate, but without all the pretense.

Known as the “Gateway to the Tropics,” this town along the Treasure Coast is becoming the stopping grounds for many who want to be close to the bigger cities of West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, but have their peaceful piece of paradise that Florida is known for.

Vero Beach provides a laid back environment with a slower pace of life that has attracted many retirees in the past. Most recently, residents of South Florida cities have found Vero Beach real estate the perfect place to buy and get away to for a weekend or vacation away from the high-pace city life of the areas.

You can stroll by the water, visit a farmer’s market on Saturdays, dine at an oceanfront restaurant, and even afford to buy property on or near the ocean for much less than home buyers could ever find in Miami.

Lifestyle Quality Drawing in Younger Crowd

Vero Beach has become an oasis for South Floridians, and because of this, many newcomers are venturing to this lesser known gem. By word-of-mouth, a younger demographic has begun moving in. Couples and families in the 30s and 40s are starting to affect the local atmosphere of Vero Beach, which has recently added a couple of bars with live rock music and more hip restaurants.

So far, these additions haven’t caused too much of a shift in the makeup of Vero Beach, although long-time residents are beginning to worry a bit about the word being spread on their hidden jewel by the sea.

An advantage that Vero Beach real estate home owners can rest on is regulations have been in place since the 1970s to keep developers within limits. Buildings are limited to heights of 35 feet to 50 feet, which is at the most about 5 stories and far less than the two 12-story condo towers called Village Spires that were built on the beach and elicited this resident vote.
