Citrus Elementary School

It's a solid pick for families who want mainland convenience and access to strong schools — the zone feeds into Vero Beach High School and sits close to Storm Grove and Oslo middle schools. Pool homes are common, with 44 of the 79 active listings offering one, and the Atlantic beaches are a short drive east.

It's mid-range for the Vero Beach mainland. The median list price is $469,968 and homes actually sold at a median of $385,000 over the last year, so there's a gap between asking and closing prices that favors buyers.

Prices run from $25,000 to $2,200,000, averaging about $292 per square foot on a typical 2,000-square-foot home. Ten of the current listings are priced above $1M, while waterfront and pool options fill much of the range below that.

Steady and negotiable. There are 79 active listings, homes are taking a median of 53 days to sell, and 45 closed in the past year with sellers getting about 96% of asking — a balanced market where patient buyers do well. See what's moving on the live map.

Most of this zone is made up of individual mainland homes rather than fee-heavy communities, so HOA data isn't a defining factor here. The median property tax runs about $3,920 per year, and if you're weighing a rental, the median rent sits around $2,200 per month.
