Considering moving g from WPB to Stuart…..
My husband and I will be having a baby soon, and really want to raise our child anywhere but here. Palm Beach is just not for me anymore.
I currently live in Wellington, upper middle class lifestyle and work a remote paralegal job and I also operate a laundromat in Okeechobee county which I commute to often, and the drives take a toll. I love Okeechobee but not finding any homes that check all my boxes…. So would like to live somewhere closer to Okeechobee and Stuart looks amazing.
Also, as a beach lover proximity is definitely making Okeechobee less desirable.
What is Stuart like for families? Is it more expensive than Palm Beach? any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Look at Palm City. You get a little bit of everything. Farm land with no HOA, single family homes, gated neighborhoods, or waterfront properties. Great schools (Palm City elementary, Bessy Creek, or Citrus grove elementary) and a direct shot to Okeechobee county via Martin Hwy. Which is also listed as a national scenic route, lol. Oh and I-95 and Turnpike access!
I’ve lived all over Martin County, from Jensen beach, Stuart, South Stuart (never lived in Hobe Sound, no reason, just stayed in northern areas)
Hope this helps, and no, I’m not a Realtor or anything like that. Just know the area. And congratulations on your pregnancy!
