Jupiter Island once again tops list of expensive small towns

Jupiter Island, the luxurious barrier island off the coast of Tequesta, Florida has once again topped the list of most expensive small towns in America.  Zillow produces this report each year and does not include such notable hot spots as Beverly Hills and New York due to the size of their populations.  Jupiter Island, with it's sprawling compounds and oceanfront estates, offers a much lower population density than these cities.

The median home value according to Zillow is $ 2.61 million.  This is an interesting statistic for a couple of reasons.  First, statisticians use the median because it smooths the distortions caused by outliers like the Tiger Woods compound at nearly $ 40,000,000.   Second, Jupiter Island has small, 2/2 condos on the southern end that distort the picture.  If you were to drill down a little and look past these anomalies you would see that most homes on the Island are several million in value.  In fact, right now there are 39 homes on the market ranging from right at $1 million to $ 23,000,000.  Alan Jackson's oceanfront estate is right in there near the top and is priced at $ 14.9 million.

Now you can live right down the street from the wealthiest Americans by choosing a waterfront condo with views of either the ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway with Jupiter's famous light house in the back.  Condos here start in the mid-$ 200's.  Those on the ocean might have a view similar to this one.

So, whether you are looking for a luxurious waterfront estate or a cute, getaway condo you can find them on Jupiter Island.  You can see all Jupiter Island real estate at Coastal Florida Real Estate.  You can use the speed links I have built to shop by price or use the Advanced Search feature to build your own search.  And when you are ready to look seriously, I have lived here 22 years and can show you the best locations.  You can contact me at 561-762-4073 or coastalflrealestate@gmail.com.
