As we continue our series on Florida’s Treasure Coast, it’s worth noting that a lot of vacationers come here… to escape the cold, to enjoy the miles and miles of pristine beaches, to go fishing and participate in water sports. And nowhere is that more true than in Vero Beach. But if you think it’s just for vacationers… think again! Vero Beach has a growing year-round community and is becoming a place to settle, not just for a month, but for a lifetime.
Let’s get the vacations out of the way first. Sure, it’s home to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. It has a historic theater and railroad station, draws people interested in nature to the McKee Botanical Garden, and is the birthplace of noted author Carl Hiaasen. Add to that the near-perfect climate and all the amenities you’ve already come to expect from the Treasure Coast, and yes: it’s a great place to visit.
But Vero Beach is an even greater place to live.
Crime statistics show Vero Beach to be one of Florida’s safest cities, and significantly below the rate of other communities of comparable size elsewhere in the U.S. It’s home to a number of exclusive private schools, among them St. Edward’s, as well as being close to a number of colleges and universities, including the Florida Institute of Technology, the Indian River State College, and Eastern Florida State College.
If you want to relax, then this is the place for you, with numerous golf courses, beaches, and more. A local fishing expert has a daily community radio program. And Vero Beach is home to the largest number of retired CEOs in the country, which ensures great restaurants and great shopping!
And there are some terrific bargains in real estate to be had in Vero Beach (zip codes 32960, 32961, 32962, 32963, 32967, 32968, 32969, 32964, 32965, 32966). Like everyplace else, it’s important to go there and get a sense of the community. Every neighborhood has its own vibe and we’re sure that there’s one for you.
