Jupiter housing market - 7/6/2013
I have been here in Jupiter 15 plus years and seen it continue to grow. The housing market is very strong and continues to get stronger with very little new construction. Living by the beach will cost you more than living West and there is very little new condos or homes near the beach. You can use this great websit www.Jupiter1oceanfront.com to see Jupiter oceanfront condos and beach communities for sale. It shows all the homes for sale as well as recent sales. Great information.

L(.) (.)K twice - 7/4/2013
Jupiter, FL – the exclamation point at the end of Palm Beach county! Beautiful natural area – parks, beaches, ICW, bike lanes, and art festivals from January through early May. It's a wonderful place to vacation, but not the place to live.
The town offers no community. It exists for visitors, the wealthy absentee property owners who come to their $2-3,000,000 McMansion properties during “the Season” to play golf and get away from the cold. They bring attitude...ATTITUDE.
If you want to be part of a community and live among friendly neighbors, Jupiter is NOT for you. There are too many empty houses that are s-o-m-e-t-i-m-e-s occupied by snowbirds who aren't involved with the community.
Rent a place for a while before you move here permanently and experience the emptiness for yourself.

Jupiter Florida - 1/14/2011
I have been living in Jupiter Florida for 13 years in a gated beachfront community called Xanadu by the Sea. A community of about 60 homes the community backs to Carlin Park to the north which gives you beautiful preserve views as well as lake views. Just across the street we have a beautiful beach that is dog friendly. A short walk is Jupiter Inlet to the north and Juno Pier to the south. We have a 7 mile bike lane that runs along the ocean as well as a sidewalk too. Shopping, restaurants and bars are just minutes away. It is by far one of the most beautiful places to live in Florida. Look at homes

Attitudes - 11/12/2008
Living in South Florida (Jupiter) is wonderful...temps are warm, the water is green, the people are friendly....well, maybe not that friendly. Visitors should beware TWO "attitudes" which prevail, each in it's "season". The first is the "vacation" attitude which flies south with the annual "snowbird" influx. This attitude, understandably, sounds very much like the chirpings of the affluent, over-indulgent, ever-demanding, two-nested Northern Crank. The other "attitude", much more subtle and surprising to the unwary, is probably, to some degree, a result of the first. Even the local residents, those fortunate to reside here year-round,are wary of the sly and unscrupulous GreenBack Gouger. Always a threat, the GBG is most evident when the Snowbird is in residence. Look for high prices, shoddy workmanship or product, and a very offensive "take-it-or-leave-it" shrug in the shoulder area. Although prevalent in all of South Florida, both "attitudes" seem to increase as one gets closer

Young and in Jupiter - 7/26/2008
I think if I was older or with a family I would love to live in Jupiter. It is a quaint coastal town with beautiful (dog friendly) beaches. But it is just a bit too quiet for my tastes. Mind you the more populous and "happening" west palm beach is just 20 minutes down the road. Still as a former Miami beach local, I must say that I miss to eclectic crowds and electric chaos of Miami compared to Jupiter. But, then again having a beautiful beach with aqua blue water almost enitrely to yourself isn't that bad wither. To have Jupiter as an escape from Miami would be my ideal situation I think. Live, work and play in Miami, and escape and relax in

Quaint, coastal community - 5/20/2008
We've recently relocated to Jupiter from Portland, OR. The two couldn't be more different. Jupiter is a quaint, little coastal town slightly north of West Palm Beach. The cost of living is relatively high, however, the current housing slump has brought the price of homes down substantially making Jupiter more affordable for middle-class families. Expect to pay high property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees though. That is where the real sticker shock kicks in. The beaches are beauiful and the people, for the most part, are friendly. Coming from Portland, I would say that Jupiter is quite a bit more conservative. If you have a good paying job, a family, and a desire to live close to the ocean, Jupiter is a good
