Stuart sits where the St. Lucie River meets the Atlantic, and life here runs on water — boats, bridges, and the tidy downtown that's earned the nickname "Sailfish Capital." It's a Martin County town with a clear preference for low-rise, old-Florida character over high-rise sprawl, and the housing stock reflects that: a mix of waterfront homes, condo communities, and pockets of single-family homes tucked into mature neighborhoods. Communities like Sailfish Point, Cedar Pointe Condo, and The Preserve At Park Trace give you range, from gated riverfront to easygoing condo living.
Right now the market here is thin and worth watching closely — just 3 active listings, so inventory moves fast and selection is limited. The median list price is $744,000, but that number is skewed by a small, high-end pool; actual sold prices over the last year tell a different story, with a median of $365,000. If you're a buyer, that gap between list and sold is your opening — it pays to compare active townhomes & condos against what's actually closing across Martin County.
Stuart is in Martin County, Florida.

Stuart real estate FAQs
Is Stuart a good place to live?+
If you want Treasure Coast living with a real downtown and easy water access, Stuart delivers — it's a Martin County riverfront town built around boating and the St. Lucie River rather than high-rise density. The housing is varied, from gated waterfront homes to approachable condo communities, so it suits both retirees and working families.
Is Stuart expensive?+
It depends which end of the market you're looking at. The median list price is $744,000, but that's driven by a handful of premium listings — the median sold price over the last 12 months was $365,000, and active prices start as low as $259,900. Browsing just reduced listings is a smart way to catch the more attainable end.
What do homes cost in Stuart?+
Recent sales had a median price of $365,000, while the current active listings run from $259,900 up to $750,000. The average price per square foot is about $518 against a median home size of 1,334 square feet, so you're often paying for location and water access more than raw space. Check browse by price to see the lower tier.
How is the Stuart housing market right now?+
It's tight and slow-moving on volume — only 3 active listings and 13 sales in the past year. Homes take a median of 59 days to sell and close at about 92% of asking, so sellers are holding their prices while buyers have very limited selection to choose from.
What should I know about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Because the active inventory is condo-heavy, HOA costs matter here — the median HOA runs about $1,165 per month, which typically covers exterior and community upkeep in communities like Cedar Pointe and Vista Del Lago. Property taxes are more modest at a median of roughly $3,790 per year, so factor both into your monthly budget when comparing townhomes & condos.
