Vero Beach: A Great Place To Retire

The Sebastian Inlet State Park is a local favorite for surfing, camping, hiking and fishing.

ndividuals in their mid-50s often begin looking around for a good community for

retirement. These years are a time when people hope to spend more time engaged in the activities they love, rather than the day-to-day rat race. Before you decide

13

on a particular community, you should investigate a few specific features that are important to most retirees.

You can then focus on the individual activities that will make your retirement years most fulfilling. In our opinion, Vero Beach is the place to be.

Beaches are the perfect place to relax.

Vero Beach is known for challenging golf courses, including the John’s Island North Course.

Due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream, Vero Beach is a favorite among ocean fisherman.

Cost of Living One of the most important factors for those who are retiring is an affordable cost of living. This feature affects home values, property taxes and the ability to fill everyday needs. Florida residents are offered property tax and other asset protection benefits that make the state a popular retirement destination.

Climate Many people who are retiring look for a climate that offers year-round warmth and sunshine. The ease of being able to leave your home without worrying about snow surely makes for a happy retirement. A plus about Vero and our sunny weather is that you can enjoy your outdoor hobbies, such as golf and tennis, during all four seasons. Worried about hot summer months? Wear cool clothing, sunscreen and a hat and you’re good to go.

Natural Beauty and Outdoor Activities For many people, a beautiful natural environment enhances their enjoyment of everyday life. These individuals may be accustomed to engaging in outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, kayaking or nature viewing. Vero Beach offers all of this and more to ensure that your retirement has an attractive backdrop and many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. And with 16 golf courses, Vero Beach is a golfer’s paradise!

Cultural Amenities

16

Vero is the place to be if you enjoy going to concerts, live plays, art museums, ethnic festivals and literary events. Riverside Theatre is widely recognized as a cultural treasure throughout the country, bringing some of Broadway’s favorites to town. Sharing these activities with loved ones and friends can be among the most satisfying ways to enjoy retirement.

The Vero Beach Museum of Art offers classes for every age and ability, all year.

Cultural arts abound, especially in the winter months.

18 The Vero Beach Regional Airport offers private and commercial flights.

Travel Access For many retirees, the ability to take trips around the country and to foreign lands is an important part of their retirement plan. For these individuals, a nearby airport that allows them to gain easy access to broader travel routes should be on their “must-have� list.

The Vero Beach Regional Airport is centrally located in town and an easy trip north or south will bring you to Orlando International or Palm Beach International airports in a snap.

Educational Opportunities Many retirees enjoy taking classes to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world. Whether your interest is painting, learning a foreign language or developing your computer skills, a choice of educational institutions, such as The Vero Beach Museum of Art, allows you to broaden your interests. Joining a club, such as the Indian River Photo Club or the Rowing Club, is also a fun way to learn a new skill and make friends.

Transportation Options Retirees should also ensure that their new community has a number of transportation offerings to secure that they can get around as the years pass. Buses, taxis, Uber and other options can get you to doctor appointments and your favorite activities even if you can no longer drive.

Retirement should be a time of enjoyment, spent on the activities you love most. These features will ensure that your retirement destination has the amenities you need to make the most of your leisure time.

UTILITIES Living Options When you’re house hunting, you will be surprised and delighted to find many residential neighborhoods within the larger Vero Beach community, each with a distinct “flavor” of its own.

PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL CLUB COMMUNITIES Tennis is alive and well at Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club where top-level amateur tennis players compete during United States Tennis Association-sanctioned tournaments and charity fundraising exhibitions. Two championship golf courses attract residents who take to the fairways year round, and boaters find a safe haven at Grand Harbor’s deep-water marina.

John’s Island Club, a river-to-ocean community in Indian River Shores, features three championship golf courses where the United States Golf Association held its 35th annual Mid-Amateur Tournament in October 2015. Yet there’s more to “JI” than golf, including Har-Tru tennis courts, air-conditioned squash courts, and beachfront and golf clubhouses offering fine dining and social events that attract young and old alike.

The member-owned Moorings Yacht & Country Club on south A1A purchased Hawk’s Nest Golf Club, adding a second 18hole course and clubhouse to the list of member-friendly features that includes a deepwater marina, Har-Tru tennis courts, a fitness center, a health spa and a pool. The country club on the Indian River Lagoon offers fine dining along with fine views.

Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club, an ocean-to-river community on north A1A, is described as “an intimate, private club” with an Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole championship golf course sure to challenge even the lowest handicap player. Other amenities include a tennis center featuring Har-Tru courts and a fitness center, and a Beach Club with terrace bar, lounge, dining room and popular oceanfront pool.

For the horse enthusiast, Windsor, with its first-rate equestrian center and riding trails, is likely to be the community of choice.

The Facts About Florida Tax SALES TAXES State Sales Tax: 6% (food, prescription and non-prescription drugs exempt). There are additional county sales taxes which could make the combined rate as high as 9.5%.

Gasoline Tax: 54.98 cents/gallon (Includes all taxes) Diesel Fuel Tax: 58.17 cents/gallon (Includes all taxes) Cigarette Tax: $1.34/pack of 20

Cardinal Drive restaurants, boutiques, hotels and businesses are within walking distance. Riverside Park with its tennis courts, a walking and jogging trail, boat ramp, Memorial Island, the Vero Beach Museum of Art and Riverside Theatre, is but a short skip and hop away.

Riomar has been called the crown jewel of Vero Beach’s barrier

22

island due in part to the neighborhood’s historical significance. Golf enthusiast Winchester Finch discovered the barrier island location in 1919, invited his Cleveland cohorts, and coined the name (translation: “river to sea”). The first houses were built on sandy shell-packed roads close to the clubhouse. While a handful still stand, over the years structural renovations and paved roads have left their mark on the neighborhood. Even so, the community’s intrinsic character remains; tradition is Riomar’s niche.

South Beach ocean and riverside residential communities on A1A south of the Alma Lee Loy Bridge and north of Round Island, bear seafaring names the likes of Castaway Cove, Sandpoint and Oceanridge. Most are gated and deed-restricted. More often than not new residents are greeted by friendly neighbors bearing gifts.

The Vero Beach Country Club, McAnsh Park, and Royal Park neighborhoods on Vero Beach’s mainland are close to churches, the public library, county administration building, courthouse, and best of all, a revitalized downtown arts and business district. Royal Park and McAnsh Park date back to the early 1920s, and many of the original homes representative of the architectural style of the era remain.

ESTATES, FARMS & RANCHES If it’s wide open spaces you’re looking for, Vero Beach has that, too. Just west of the city, two new subdivisions are just getting their start: The Farms and Hidden Hammock, both with five-acre lots for sale. If that doesn’t suit your fancy, you can find much more extensive acreage where you can build the house of your dreams and have space for children and horses to roam as well as all the privacy you could ever want. Plus, you can build

PERSONAL INCOME TAXES No state income tax Retirement Income: Not taxed.

PROPERTY TAXES All property is taxable at 100% of its just valuation. Every person who owns and resides on real property in Florida on January 1 and makes the property their permanent residence is eligible to receive a homestead exemption up to $50,000. The first $25,000 applies to all property taxes, including school district taxes. The additional exemption up to $25,000, applies to the assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000 and only to nonschool taxes. If one spouse holds the title, the other spouse may file for the exemption with the consent of the titleholder.

Below is a general list of exemptions available in the state.

• Homestead exemptions up to $50,000 • $500 widows and widower’s exemption • $500 disability exemption • $5,000 disability exemption for ex-service member • Service connected total and permanent disability exemption • Exemption for totally and permanently disabled person • Additional homestead exemption for persons 65 and older • Homestead property tax discount for veterans age 65 and older with a combat-related disability • Homestead tax deferral • Installment payment of property taxes • Personal property The homestead exemption for all residents applies to all property taxes, not just city and county taxes. Annual increases in the assessment of homestead property are limited to 3% of the prior year’s assessed value, or if lower, the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the prior year, as long as there was no change in ownership.

t’s what tropical vacations are all about. You’re sitting in your lounge chair, the sand tickling your toes, the waves caressing the shore. Your skin is glistening from sun block and your eyes are closed

behind your dark glasses. Now all you need is a drink.

Something cool and refreshing, sweet and fruity.

But you don’t have to be on vacation to take advantage of a tropical delight. Sitting at home and unwinding after a day at work, you can bring a taste of paradise inside with you. It’s amazing where a little bit of fruit, rum and ice can take you.

Tropical drinks are generally based on rum, which is produced throughout the Caribbean. Made from sugarcane by-products such as molasses, rum traditionally comes in light, gold and dark varieties, but is now offered in various flavors, including spiced, coconut, orange, raspberry, and vanilla, among others.

These flavors bring a new level to an island cocktail that is hard to resist.

If you’re the designated driver for the night, or looking for something for the kids, most recipes can be made without the alcohol and still supply a tasty treat. So get out your bathing suits and flip-flops—it’s time to go to the beach!

Tips for Decorating Your Home with White

BY ROSE CLEARFIELD

M

any homeowners shy away from decorating with white because they aren’t sure how to make an all-white

room feel welcoming and comfortable.

White is refreshing and can depict purity and cleanliness but also elegance and confidence, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of home schemes. With the right tips, you’ll be able to incorporate white in your home with ease.

Don’t be afraid of layers and texture Selecting décor in multiple textures and layering

your white pieces is key for creating a comfortable, inviting, warm home environment. Unless you’re going for an ultra-modern décor scheme with minimal white furniture and accessories, most likely your home will look bare and unfinished unless you’re intentional about your textures and layering. Using similar white hues in multiple materials, patterns, and textures will create depth and interest. For example, in a bedroom, choose bedding, an upholstered headboard, and window treatments all in similar shades of white but with different materials.

036-039_Decoratiing_RE_MARCH17.indd 36

Layer white hues to construct depth and interest.

2/19/17 2:35 PM

37

Create a dreamy sanctuary by combining white tones and comfortable bedding.

Choose materials that fit your lifestyle One of the biggest reasons people avoid white home décor is because they’re afraid of getting it dirty. Yes, it is easier to stain and scuff white than other colors. However, with the right material choices, you’ll be able to keep your white furniture in top condition. Look for materials that stain-resistant or easier to clean. Many outdoor fabrics are highly durable and also suitable for indoor use. In high-traffic areas, such as the family room, consider faux suedes and leathers. Slipcovers are also a great option for keeping high-quality furniture clean.

Display your artwork prominently A sizable painting, photograph, or sculpture is the perfect way to showcase your personality and style without competing with the white furniture, décor, and other accessories. Consider displaying a large painting over the bed in the master bedroom or positioning tall sculptures on either side of the mantel in the living room.

You’ll create a natural focal point in the room while adding just the right amount of color and detail.

Bromeliads come in a rainbow of colors and are a super low-maintenance addition to a Vero Beach garden.

Sustainability designs and technology

New high-tech irrigation systems ensure plants receive the proper amount of water

Low-maintenance gardens with drought-tolerant plants and minimal grass are more popular than ever in 2017 to conserve water and lower energy costs.

Strive to create a natural balance to conserve resources without compromising the aesthetic of your property.

Focus on selecting plants that will thrive in your current environment, and choose organic fertilizers and pest controls to care for your yard without using harsh chemicals. Selecting plants native to the area further reduces irrigation and minimizes other issues because the plants have already adapted to the local setting. Whenever possible, choose locally sourced plants and garden accessories to further promote sustainability.

For example, a small waterfall may be a better fit for a large family with young children than a sizable outdoor pond with live fish.

creating a natural flow between the interior and exterior spaces. There are more new, innovative ways to add a little green to your home than ever. Don’t be afraid to purchase large plants that will stand front and center in a living room or kitchen, such as black ming aralia, fiddle-leaf fig, or stumped Schefflera. Tillandsias and bromeliads are also popular right now. Bromeliads look great on their own or mixed in among succulents and can later be planted outside.

As you consider indoor plants, make sure to think about the containers for the plants as well.

Choosing indoor plants as you would choose furniture and home accessories contributes significantly to the aesthetic of the home.

Planning a yard or lawn takes time and patience. Spend a couple of months gathering inspiration online and in catalogs and then map out your ideas on paper. Sketching out your plan before heading to the gardening store will help you save time and money, investing only in the plants and outdoor accessories that fit your 2017 landscape and garden plan. F
