Beautiful Hobe Sound Real Estate for Sale

An Introduction to Hobe Sound, Florida

Hobe Sound is an unincorporated Census Designated Place (CDP) whose strong community identity and population of just over 11,000 citizens have made it a definitive, identifiable town within Martin County on Florida’s eastern coast.  Known for being a family-friendly town with a sense of pride in the “Florida Lifestyle,” Hobe Sound has strong offerings in public beaches, local schools, and small businesses.

Its name being derived from the Jobe Native American communities that historically inhabited the area, the Native American and Early Spanish influence can still be felt in the area.  The storied history surrounding Hobe Sound real estate includes the attempt to rebuild the town as a Greek-themed motion picture town, the development of a major railroad through the town, and the rise and fall of an iconic ice plant in the area.

Those who seek out Hobe Sound real estate will find a town passionate about its quaint history, ready to remember, preserve, and celebrate all the stories whose tales intertwine with the town.

Activities in Hobe Sound

Golf is the favored sport available to buyers of Hobe Sound real estate, with a number of golf clubs and driving ranges interspersing the beautiful natural vistas in the area.  Both coastal and non-coastal clubs exist, in addition to the nearby Jupiter Island Club, which is an 18-hole course located on Jupiter Island off Hobe Sound.  These golf clubs are responsible for a large majority of travelers visiting the Hobe Sound area, which is otherwise largely enjoyed by locals.

For nature lovers not interested in sports, Hobe Sound real estate is located close to a number of parks, nature reserves, and unique natural formations.  The beaches of Hobe Sound are well-known for their unique limestone formations, which jut out over the blue-green waters of the Atlantic.  The unique porous nature of limestone creates tunnels and holes in the rock which spray jets of water as the waves crash against the shoreline.

Two state parks are nearby to Hobe Sound, the first being Jonathan Dickinson State Park, boasting over 13 different animal habitats able to be fully explored by visitors looking for serenity and recreation.  The Savannas Preserve State Park is also nearby, featuring largely wetlands environments supplemented by an environmental education center and park facilities that enable visitors to learn while they explore the nature around them.

Hobe Sound Transportation and Education

Hobe Sound does not offer any sort of public transport system outside of a service for elderly citizens going to destinations within Martin County.  Transport from Hobe Sound real estate is largely accomplished via private vehicles.  The nearest interstate, I-95, is approximately 7 miles west of town, though a blue star memorial highway, US 1, runs through town, serving as the primary flow of traffic through the town.  These characteristics make the town ideal for those who desire a quieter place to live, less burdened by traffic and crowding.

The options for education available to inhabitants of Hobe Sound are suited to the local population, with a handful of schools in the area.  Hobe Sound Elementary School and Seawind Elementary School both are within the limits of Hobe Sound.  The local high school is South Fork High School.  All local schools have been rated well, and serve their community fantastically.
