Port Salerno Elementary School

It's a solid pick if you want coastal, water-oriented Florida life within a respected Martin County school path that continues through Murray Middle School and South Fork High. The neighborhood leans heavily toward outdoor living, with 48 of 64 active homes offering pools and 21 sitting on the water. It's an established community rather than a master-planned one, so character varies street to street.

It's mid-range for the Treasure Coast, with a median list price of $389,000 and a median sold price of $410,000 over the last year. Entry-level homes start around $149,900, while waterfront estates climb past $3 million, so the zone accommodates a range of budgets. Average price per square foot runs about $310.

Active listings carry a median price of $389,000, and the typical home is around 1,460 square feet at roughly $310 per square foot. Actual sold prices have been slightly higher, with a $410,000 median over the past 12 months. You'll find everything from compact starters to million-dollar-plus waterfront properties among the Hobe Sound homes for sale.

It's a measured market — 39 homes sold in the last year, and current listings take a median of 86 days to move. Sellers are getting about 95% of their asking price, which signals room to negotiate without expecting deep discounts. Six of the 64 active listings are new construction, adding some fresh options to the mix.

HOA fees aren't a defining factor here — most of these homes are not in HOA-governed communities, with only 3 of the active listings gated. Property taxes run a median of about $3,285 per year, which is reasonable for Martin County. If you'd rather rent first, the median rent in the area is around $2,500 per month.
