About Stuart, Martin County

Stuart is the county seat of Martin County — consistently ranked one of Florida’s most livable and protected counties. Martin County’s strict growth management laws have preserved Stuart’s charm while protecting property values in ways that few other Florida markets can match.

Home prices range from $450,000 for inland homes to $1M+ for waterfront estates with deep-water dock access.

Why Stuart Stands Apart

  • Deep-water access: Direct access to the St. Lucie River, the Intracoastal, and the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lucie Inlet.
  • Walkable downtown: Restaurants, galleries, shops, and the historic courthouse square — a genuine walkable lifestyle.
  • Protected market: Martin County’s growth controls mean limited new inventory — great for long-term values.
  • Top schools: Martin County School District ranks among Florida’s elite.
  • Prime location: 90 minutes to Miami, 45 minutes to Palm Beach — but a world apart in lifestyle.
