Tequesta's location along the Loxahatchee River makes it a favorite for boaters, kayakers, and anglers. Coral Cove Park, on Jupiter Island, offers a quiet beach and access to both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Tequesta borders Martin County to the north and Jupiter to the south, with U.S. Highway 1 and Interstate 95 providing access throughout the region.
Public schools serving Tequesta are part of the School District of Palm Beach County, and the area is also served by private schools. School assignments are based on address and can change, so confirm boundaries directly with the School District of Palm Beach County before making a purchase decision.
Housing includes riverfront and canal-front homes with docks, single-family homes on quiet streets, and condominiums. Waterfront buyers should review seawall condition, dock permits, flood zone, and insurance costs.

Review the HOA, condominium, or club documents, budget, and fees carefully before you make an offer, and ask whether any special assessments are planned. If you are buying a condominium, ask for recent milestone inspection reports and the structural integrity reserve study, which Florida law requires for many condominium buildings three stories or taller, since they can affect future assessments.
Look up the property's flood zone on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and get homeowners and flood insurance quotes early. Insurance can significantly affect your monthly cost, and a lender may require flood insurance depending on the zone.
Ask the seller for the roof's age and a wind mitigation inspection report. Florida requires insurers to offer discounts for qualifying wind-resistant features, such as impact-rated windows or shutters and stronger roof attachments, so these features can lower your premium. You can look up the property's hurricane evacuation zone through Palm Beach County Emergency Management.
If the home will be your primary residence, apply for Florida's homestead exemption with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after you purchase. Once a home is homesteaded, Florida's Save Our Homes provision limits yearly increases in its assessed value to 3% or the change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower.
