Researching the same area, but willing to be as far north as Vero Beach.
The top 3 in that area without breaking the bank seem to be Turtle Creek, Lost lake and Hobe Sound. Did you look at Tequesta as that is on the radar as well.
North I am looking at PGA, the levels of membership are a little confusing but have a friend there who I am sure can clear that up.
My thing is that I am not going to buy in the area, only seasonal rent. So bring to find the right mix for that long term plan.
