JUPITER ISLAND: Reputed as the richest town in America by Worth Magazine for the third consecutive year, Jupiter Island ranks highest out of 250 richest towns. These ultra glamorous homes, owned by an exclusive cast of residents, range in price from $1,400,000 to over $22,000,000. With a population of less than 1,000, most of whom are seasonal residents, this 3.5 square mile Island is a popular retreat for the ultimate in privacy.

Jupiter Island is part of a chain of barrier islands that stretch from Key West, reaching as far north as New York. The 17-mile long island is 25 miles north of Palm Beach and 10 miles south of Stuart. It was first recorded by Europeans as part of land grant from the king of Spain in 1815. In the early 1900's much of the land was sold to a British land development that subsequently went bankrupt in the 1920's. The company's holdings were then acquired by a group of friends who enjoyed staying at a small hotel on the island and had a vision of conserving its natural beauty. Today, much of the island is in the hands of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Audubon Society, and the Nature Conservancy. Well known as an exclusive enclave for prominent families seeking privacy, Jupiter Island also offers excellent private schools, superb shopping and close proximity to fine restaurants in Palm Beach and Martin counties. Jonathan Dickson State Park and Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge are minutes away. Worth magazine has ranked this quiet island town (population 601) for the third year in a row as "The Wealthiest Town in America", based on real estate prices.
