7 Reasons Palm Beachers are Moving Up to Florida’s Treasure Coast

Home to a rich history and beautiful natural landscapes, the Treasure Coast community takes pride in celebrating and preserving its heritage through museums and art galleries. The 2013 full renovation of the Elliott Museum resulted in a new two-story building that not only accommodates a greater portion of the community’s rich history, but also provides exhibits for every age and interest, including an extensive Model A truck collection, one of the world’s largest signed baseball card collections, artwork by local artists, and many other rotating exhibits. This historic Lyric Theatre and Sunrise Theatre are hubs for the performing arts, hosting performances from concert legends, Grammy winners, comedians, classic movies, and more. Local art galleries, including the Court House Cultural Center, Fish House Art Center, and A.E. Backus Museum, serve as gathering places for artisans and enthusiasts of every medium alike. The community’s deep appreciation for artistic expression is evident as arts and culture continue to expand on the Treasure Coast.

With many world-class restaurants nearby, a diverse and vibrant dining scene is sure to satisfy any craving. Colab Kitchen in Stuart not only creates unique globally inspired dishes with farm-fresh produce but features a fresh market where diners can pick up fruits and vegetables of their own. For an upscale steakhouse experience, Oak & Ember in Port St. Lucie or Meating Street in Tradition offers prime cuts of beef and fresh seafood. For seafood lovers, Hudson’s on the River is known for its fresh seafood and sushi, along with a unique roster of island-style cocktails. These options are just a sampling of all the Treasure Coast has to offer. In Port St. Lucie, Tesoro Club Members can indulge their senses at two distinct venues. The Cabanas features a menu of healthy favorites and tropical cocktails easily taken poolside, while The Terrace Grill provides a delightful setting to savor a chef-curated lunch or dinner amidst the Florida breeze.

The Treasure Coast is a haven for fashion enthusiasts seeking the perfect blend of charm and elegance in their shopping experiences. With quaint waterfront downtown areas in Fort Pierce, Jensen, and Stuart, shoppers can enjoy strolling along picturesque streets adorned with locally owned boutiques and art galleries. These unique establishments showcase the region’s local craftsmanship, artistry, and fashion that cannot be found anywhere else. For those craving even more shopping delights, the Treasure Coast is just a short drive away from Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue and Gardens Mall. These internationally renowned destinations boast an impressive array of luxury brands, designer labels, and more.

From the North Fork of the St. Lucie River to the Atlantic Ocean or Okeechobee Waterway in mere minutes, the Treasure Coast is a sportsman’s paradise. Stuart, also known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” is home to one of the densest populations of sailfish, with dolphin, wahoo, tuna, and marlin teeming in the waters as well. Abundant local marinas and miles of inland waterways make the area a popular choice for yachtsmen. For others, 23 miles of pristine beaches are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Surfing, paddle boarding, and diving offshore shipwrecks are also thrilling options for adventure seekers.

Just as important as lively entertainment and highly-rated dining options, the Treasure Coast boasts a thriving healthcare sector. The area is home to three nationally recognized health facilities, including Cleveland Clinic, HCA Florida Lawnwood, and the recently announced Tenet Healthcare. Jupiter Medical Center’s multiple locations on the Treasure Coast provide easy access to everything from routine checkups to advanced medical treatments and state-of-the-art surgical procedures. Residents enjoy proximity to exceptional emergency services, acute specialists, and innovative healthcare programs.

The Treasure Coast’s location near I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike allows for easy access to South Florida’s finest attractions, including The Palm Beaches’ top-notch shopping, dining, and entertainment. Visitors can explore the premier collection of luxury goods at Gardens Mall, stroll along the famous Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island, or enjoy a variety of other fantastic venues. Foodies can satisfy their taste buds at any of the area’s top culinary establishments, which feature exceptional Florida seafood dishes and farm-to-table favorites. Furthermore, Palm Beach International Airport offers world travelers the added convenience of air travel.

“Moving up from The Palm Beaches to the Treasure Coast was one of the best decisions we ever made,” shared Tesoro Club Member Nicholas L. “While we mainly moved for golf, we were surprised by the endless array of shopping, dining, and cultural options nearby.”

As golf continues to surge in popularity across Florida, a new wave of renowned designers and industry professionals are establishing new cutting-edge facilities and championship course on Florida’s Treasure Coast. One notable option in Port St. Lucie is the recently reopened Palmer Course at Tesoro Club. The par-72 course reopened in November to rave reviews and has already reinstated itself as a destination for PGA-level play. It has successfully hosted two PGA Tour qualifying events this year, including the Astara Golf Championship Qualifier for the 2023 PGA Korn Ferry Tour in January and the Honda Classic Qualifier in February. The 7,333-yard course, meticulously designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer, offers a scenic natural environment and features challenging holes that require both power and precision with every swing.

Along with the reopening of the Palmer Course, Tesoro Club has also unveiled a range of new luxury homes that offer breathtaking views of the golf course, freshwater lakes and creeks, or serene wooded preserves. Spanning 1,490 acres, this private golf club community has been meticulously crafted to harmonize the residences with their natural surroundings, prioritizing expansive open spaces and views. Two of the nation’s top home builders, WCI Communities by Lennar and Toll Brothers at Tesoro Club are constructing an exceptional array of residential options nestled in secluded neighborhoods. Furthermore, premier custom home builders will offer residences built along the Arnold Palmer Golf Course. The custom plans are designed to the buyer’s specifications to accentuate the features and views of each home site.

Just a short golf cart ride away from any home, residents at Tesoro Club will find a plethora of resort-style amenities.
