SperlingViews - Jensen_Beach, Florida

Most of the people appear to be on the red neck side. Very little is friendly about this area. I'm from the Midwest and this southern town that boast southern hospitality has nothing over the Midwest. I overheard a man telling a passerby, "I'd rather see my fruit rot on the ground than let you have it". Our farmers put out "help yourself" signs when they don't sell all their produce. I've worked in 4 different places and in every single one I've seen my coworkers bring in to work, excess produce from their gardens so that it wouldn't go to waste. They set it on a table in the lunch room with the usual "Help yourself". If you look or sound different, stay out of this area. It's extremely hot in the summer and the hurricane season is too long and very nerve wrecking. The cost of living is high and so is the unemployment. There is very little to do other than fishing. Why would anyone want to spend their hard earned money here?[read more...]

i moved here 7 yrs ago. and i am still not acculmated. The people are very superficial, and unfriendly, no jobs, so so education. and winters are very croweded. Since our hurricanes, more and more companies are leaving. If you can, i would pick another place. So unlesss you get your family to move here with you and you have lots of money this is not the town for you.[read more...]

Jensen Beach is a pleasant trip to a time that was more gentile and caring. A few miles off US-1 makes a world of difference to the intensity of life. People seem to care a bit more about their neignbors. You are never far from the ocean or rivers which tend to contribute a calming influence over all.[read more...]

Beautiful area, close to the beach, but unfortunately very few jobs near by.[read more...]
