When you want to live where you play, you want a welcoming community of fellow golfers—nestled among scenic lakes, surrounded by a nature preserve and just minutes away from a cultural hub and miles of peaceful beaches along the renowned Treasure Coast.

The living is relaxed, and the climate is blissfully temperate. A favorite vacation destination, Stuart is renowned for its pristine beaches, off-shore fishing opportunities, dolphin-watching tours, family friendly amusement parks, and charter boats that can sail all the way to The Bahamas. Stuart is also home to the recently expanded Oceanographic Coastal Center where natural exhibitions allow you get up close with wildlife. You can even join midnight sea-turtle egg-laying expeditions. Whenever you have the urge for a more metropolitan experience, the best of South Florida's shopping, dining, entertainment, concerts, museums, and cultural events are a just short distance away.
Known for fresh fish and the finest coastal fare, the restaurants, bistros, cafes and grills you'll discover in Stuart offer everything from white-linen fine dining to a casual, eclectic foodie experience. Just a few of the most popular eateries along the spectacular waterfront include District Table & Bar for seasonal American fare; the casually elegant Sailor's Return; TideHouse, where you can delight in share plates and live music; and Stuart Boathouse, which features seafood, steaks, and sushi rolls. Nothing complements a savory dining experience better than the gentle coastal breeze off the St. Lucie River and spectacular views of boats moored in the harbor. Of course, if you have a craving for authentic Italian, French or Greek cuisine, chances are excellent that it's just a few blocks away.
Taking a nature hike is one of the healthiest things you can do for your mind and body, and you'll find dozens of local parks and wildlife preserves throughout Stuart, Florida.

If a seaside experience is more your style, try surf fishing or snorkeling at Bathtub Reef Beach, the home to more than 500 marine creatures. Backpackers and birdwatchers can commune with nature close-up at one of the many local woodlands preserves like Phipps Park. Whether you're an experienced mountain biker or a new hiker, discovering Florida's diverse mix of ecological communities and wildlife is easy when your home base is the Treasure Coast.
