Local Lifestyle
Named as one of America’s happiest seaside towns by Coastal Living, Jupiter residents enjoy a slower pace of life, worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Heavenly beaches and parks offer beautiful views, trails, sporting fields and courts, and opportunities to observe native wildlife. One of the most excellent fishing spots in the nation features a variety of species to be caught both closer to and further from shore. A bit more island, airy outdoor communal centers featuring shopping, alfresco dining, and community events are perfect places to spend relaxing afternoons.
Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping
In Palm Beach Gardens, The Gardens Mall is a large shopping center with over 160 shops and restaurants. Some nationally recognized brands include Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Apple, and Tiffany. Just next door, Downtown Palm Beach Gardens is an open-air shopping facility featuring several more local businesses, eateries, and a conveniently located Whole Foods Market.
