Abacoa communities in Jupiter
Abacoa Homes
The Abacoa community is one of the more popular areas here in Jupiter for several reasons. The Abacoa community began around 1997 when John MacArthur Foundation started selling off his land holdings in Northern Palm Beach County. The slow development in Jupiter was slowed as MacArthur had been holding onto these plots of land for years which limited growth here in Jupiter. The first section of Abacoa built was the Island which incorporated the Abacoa Golf course, The Florida Atlantic Honors College, Roger Dean Stadium and Downtown Abacoa for shopping, restaurants and the movies. Abacoa was built to be a live , work and play community where sidewalks ran through the neighborhoods and every home had a front porch sit sit out and meet the neighbors. You will also notice all the driveways and garages are behind the homes except for the outer homes.
Abacoa communities in Jupiter
Which Abacoa community suits your needs? Many of the first few Abacoa communities such as The Island, Newhaven, Cambridge, Tuscany and Martinique all have similar home floorplans. The difference is the exterior themes in each community. Divosta also had very few options when building this community. I call them Vanilla white interiors which featured white tile, white cabinets and white carpet as the standard and only features available. The interiors of the early Abacoa homes were quite bland and many owners did upgrades to them once they purchased them. Each exterior theme ran throughout the specific community for example Martinique had a British West Indies look while Tuscany had a Mediterranean look. Newhaven had a typical New England feel which would appeal to many of the Northeast buyers. Not until Mallory Creek did we see the option of many new upgrades and floor plans. The Nautica townhouse was introduced which is a popular townhouse even today. The new Key West style homes with metal roofs offered a Key West flair.
