Abacoa Jupiter
One of the signature real estate developments in Jupiter is a master-planned community designed to reflect the New Urban Lifestyle (NUL) that is also thriving in West Palm Beach Downtown (WPBD) a few miles south of it. Buyers for homes in Abacoa invariably ask, "When was Abacoa built?" and, more critically, want to know its history. Of course, they're valid questions, so before we get into the real estate components, let's answer them:
When and who built Abacoa Jupiter?
Insurance tycoon John. D. Mac Arthur conceived it in 1993. The Abacoa Development Company (ADC) - a MacArthur Foundation partnership with Cypress Realty - put the first spade in the dirt in 1997 to construct an iconic neighborhood where people could reside, sleep, work, play, shop, educate themselves, and purchase every product & service for daily life without traveling long distances. The project extended well into the new century and was a fantastic success. So, the next big question on prospective buyers' minds is, "How many people live in Abacoa Jupiter?" Our response is just over thirteen thousand people live in Abacoa versus WPBD's approximately ten thousand as of 2021.
How did ADC plan Abacoa to make NUL desirable to so many people?
The company decided to initiate a mixed-use neighborhood consisting of single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, lofts, and shops divided into 20 subdivisions, integrated with:
- A public golf course (Abacoa Golf Club).
- Inviting amenities directly connected to some subdivisions (see below)
- A sports arena (the Roger Dean Stadium) - a popular baseball spring-training venue.
- A tennis center (now including pickleball)
- Basketball courts.
- Green spaces - The South Jupiter Community Park, Skate Park, and a network of nature trails for biking and jogging.
- Picnic spots in the flourishing vegetation alongside sparkling lakes.
- Fishing, boating, and relaxing on the nearby beaches.
- Excellent schools (see below)
- A Downtown Center (DC):
- Fashioned after the WPBD’s shopping complex (“The Square”) and famous entertainment strip - Clematis Street.
- Comprising various retail outlets (with numerous boutiques for high-end shopping), restaurants (international, fine dining, and casual), bars, coffee shops, and offices.
- Hosting events like festivals, outdoor concerts, and car shows
- Alongside University campuses to keep the demographic young.
Indeed, it was a mind-blowing vision that could have stalled without the founders' funding and unwavering focus. But it didn't, and in 2023 (the time of writing this), Abacoa is a thriving, sought-after NUL community where SF homes sometimes sell in the millions. The residents enjoy the spectacular garden, water, and city vistas delivered from the tall palms, tropical flora & fauna, thoughtful architecture, and aqua-centric features.

Real estate in Abacoa
In a venture of such complexity, residences with diverse vintages (from 1998 to 2018) vary considerably, as do interiors and exteriors. Also, homeowners have remodeled over the years, upgrading with the latest marble, wood, and onyx, and adding significant customization. Recessed lighting, high-impact glass windows & sliders, new air-con systems, premium stainless steel appliances, floating vanities, private pools, summer kitchens, and spa bathrooms are only a few renovations that feature on the MLS. When one takes a bird's eye view of the subdivisions, there's something for everyone in this expansive complex. As examples:
- Allegro focuses on meeting retirees' needs 24/7 with services such as independent living, assisted living, and memory care in various residence types.
- Antigua and Greenwich are strictly townhouse locations for residents into remote working, dedicating entire floors to a high-tech, fast-speed wifi office space with living quarters upstairs or in loft designs.
- Cambridge provides compact SF single-family homes ( 2 bedrooms) and a range of model townhomes, all taking full advantage of the outlooks described above.
- Canterbury Place is similar to Cambridge, except it distinguishes itself with French Country or Tuscan architecture around private courtyards with two-car garages in most units.
- Then, for buyers looking for three-bedroom, two-story accommodation in SF and attached structures, Charleston Court and Island at Abacoa are the places to look. The added benefit is unobstructed views of rolling green fairways in locations besides the golf course.
- Rental condos and townhouses are a mainstream vertical in Abacoa for investors supported by liberal leasing protocols. Sophia at Abacoa (one to three bedrooms) and Dakota cater to this, the latter integrating accommodations with amenities such as a community spa, pool, fitness center, and conference room.
- Mallory Creek, Martinique, Tuscany, Windsor Park, and New Haven offer:
- A broad spectrum of single-family houses and townhomes from two to five bedrooms
- Custom floor plans, Key West, coastal Mediterranean, and Victorian architecture defining different sections with metal roofs and top-grade interiors.
- A match for every lifestyle, from empty nesters to large families, including amenities like heated community pools in attached unit enclaves.
- Stunning outlooks across nature preserves.
Other condo and townhouse subdivisions are as follows:
- Osceola Woods offers up to three-bedroom condos with remote working office spaces or media rooms.
- San Palermo - 35 Mediterranean-style condos, 1800 square feet (UA) - 3 or 4 bedrooms.
- Somerset provides 1 to 3 bedrooms in condos and townhouses - 849 to over 1,700 square feet (UA).
- Allure at Abacoa (featuring a private dog park for pet lovers) with upscale townhomes, lofts, and condos.
- Village at Abacoa Town Center, mixed in with the shops, are condos in the heart of downtown pedestrian traffic, offering NUL conveniences steps away from the tower exit.
- Valencia delivers sophisticated SF accommodation with distinctive arched entryways, iron-grated gates & balconies, quaint terracotta roofs, and spacious master suites.
When entering Abacoa Jupiter as a prospective purchaser, we recommend doing it with a buyer's agent. Why? Because MLS valuations in 2023 emerged from under $300 to nearly $500 a square foot (UA). In other words, positioning in the neighborhood, type of residence, outlooks, and seller upgrades play into the pricing. Our versatile appraisal model leaves nothing to chance, pinpointing what's worth paying for and what's not. Moreover, with so many choices, the landscape can be confusing. Our services are free of charge because the seller pays all the commissions, so securing our expert advice is a no-brainer.
The proximity to all urban conveniences has been described in extensive detail above so we won't repeat them here. Save to say that exceptional clinics, an international airport, and WPBD's NUL options with Worth avenue mega-brand outlets are seamless transitions by auto or Uber. Indeed, WPBD provides genuine competition with various choices we can show you. The following is by no means exhaustive:
- Condo towers looking directly at the Intracoastal on Flagler Drive, only walking distance from The Square and Clematis downtown action:
-
High-end pricing: Trianon, Rapallo, Plaza of the Palm Beaches (formerly Trump Plaza), 101 Lofts, and Waterview Towers are must-sees.
-
$450,000 to $900,000: pre-2000 vintage complexes (still with fantastic Intracoastal outlooks): The Palm Beach House, Villa Lofts, Yacht Club Towers, and Flagler Landing.
-
$230,000 to $440,000: - The Slade, Portofino, and La Fontana.
-
- SF estate home historic neighborhoods fitting right into the NUL trend:
