Overview

About Stuart West

Stuart West is in Palm City, not Stuart: it sits in unincorporated Martin County in the 34990 ZIP, west of Martin Downs toward the Turnpike. Its lots are large, about three acres for a typical home site, and its streets are named for places in the American West.

The county roll counts 227 houses and 12 vacant lots across the Stuart West phases. The oldest house dates to 1984, the median to 2000, and building has carried on to 2025. The houses are large: the typical one has about 3,100 square feet of living area, and the bigger ones run past 4,500.

Most lots fall between about two and five acres. The Phase 1 plat sets aside recreation parcels held in common.

Cobblestone is about a mile and a half away, with Newfield and Palm City Farms a little farther, and Martin Highway and the Turnpike close by for the drive to Stuart or south to Palm Beach County.

  • Well and septic Acreage lots often use private wells and septic systems; we check county records and arrange the inspections.
  • Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
  • Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.

Documents to Review Before Closing

  • Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
  • Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
  • Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
