Neighborhoods

Vero Beach has a wide variety of residential neighborhoods, each with its own distinct amenities and feel. We've compiled a short list of some of the highlights to help you get started. Our local real estate agents would be delighted to help you find the home of your dreams.

Country Club Communities

Grand Harbor

Located on the western banks of the Indian River Lagoon, Grand Harbor is Vero Beach’s only mainland community that offers a full-amenity “grand lifestyle” package. Activities abound, including two championship golf courses, tennis center, marina, and both beach and golf clubs.

John’s Island

John’s Island is Vero Beach’s most established luxury community, offering three championship golf courses, a tennis club, an oceanfront clubhouse, and fine dining. Pickleball and squash courts are among the additional amenities. Noted developer E. Llwyd Ecclestone had a vision, and real estate broker Alex MacWilliam Jr. helped make it happen in 1969 when he brokered the land sale. Today, Georgian architecture still graces this elegant community.

The Moorings

The Moorings has over 7.5 miles of bulkheaded riverfront living, as well as oceanfront estate homes and condominiums. This is truly Vero Beach’s boaters’ paradise, and it is located just 6 miles from ocean access via Fort Pierce Inlet.

Two golf courses, tennis facilities, pickleball, a riverfront fitness center, health spa, private beach and expansive golf clubhouse round out the amenities.

Oak Harbor

Oak Harbor is one of Vero Beach’s premier senior living communities, offering a variety of senior services in a stress-free, country club environment with Bermuda-style architecture.

The community offers on-site assisted living facilities, a 42,000-square-foot clubhouse with wellness programs, dining options, transportation services, property maintenance and housekeeping services.

Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club

Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club is a 600-acre community styled with tropical Caribbean elegance.

Situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon just south of Windsor, this club features a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, with an exclusive golf clubhouse, a charming tennis center, Town Square Shops, and an elegant beach club featuring a terrace bar and lounge, dining room and oceanside pool.

Sea Oaks

Sea Oaks is a master-planned community of approximately 125 shaded acres, encompassing 2,400 feet of Atlantic beach and 1,500 feet of riverfront on the Indian River Lagoon.

Sea Oaks boasts two major recreational centers: the outstanding Tennis Club complex and the private Beach Club on the ocean. Amenities include the oceanfront beach clubhouse, tennis clubhouse, 16 fast-dry clay tennis courts, a 48-slip marina, seven swimming pools and a health club.

Windsor Windsor is a magnificent 416-acre private sporting and social club situated along a stretch of north Vero Beach. Among the numerous amenities are a polo field, equestrian center with trails, 18-hole championship golf course, tennis center and croquet lawn. A trap and skeet shooting facility is nearby.

In the heart of Windsor is the Village Center, with a post office, general store, business center and support offices. Windsor’s beach clubhouse has a swimming pool, library and cabanas.

The elegant modern golf clubhouse also maintains a world-class art gallery with shows running throughout the winter season.

In-Town Neighborhoods

Central Beach

If a relaxed, bike-to-it-all lifestyle is desired, Central Beach is the place to be. This barrier island neighborhood is close to Ocean Drive and Cardinal Drive restaurants, boutiques, hotels and businesses. Riverside Park is also in this neighborhood, with its tennis courts, fitness trail and boat ramp, as well as Memorial Island, Vero Beach Museum of Art and Riverside Theatre.

When golf enthusiast Winchester Finch discovered this barrier island location in 1919, he invited his Cleveland cohorts and coined the name Riomar (“river to sea”). Since then, many homes have been added and changed, but the charming cottage-style architecture and oak-lined streets remain.

South Beach

South of the Alma Lee Loy Bridge on the barrier island, a long expanse of sandy beach borders properties all the way to Round Island Park at the county line. On the river side, the Indian River Lagoon offers boating access and water views. In between, a series of gated residential communities offers a variety of lifestyles, from formal to relaxed.

Vero Beach Country Club, McAnsh Park & Royal Park

Located on the mainland, these adjoining neighborhoods offer some of the most historic homes in the county, some dating from the 1920s and earlier. They are also conveniently located to churches, the public library, county administration building, courthouse and, best of all, a revitalized downtown arts and business district.

Country Living

Estates, Farms and Ranches to the West

If it’s wide-open spaces you’re looking for, Vero Beach has that, too. Just west of the city, several neighborhoods offer 5-acre zoning, and even larger tracts are also available.
