Find out why Stuart has just been named, #2 Best Coastal Small Town in the @USATODAY 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards, announced on April 7, 2026. If you are trying to decide whether Stuart is the right fit for your lifestyle, this video will help you get a real feel for the area before you buy plus things no one tells you about living here in Stuart, Florida.
Thinking about moving to Stuart, Florida? Want to feel like you are on vacation everyday? In this video, I walk you through what it’s really like living in Stuart—from the lifestyle and waterfront living to the hidden realities most people don’t talk about.
After living here for many years, I share firsthand insight into what daily life feels like, from driving over the bridges and seeing the incredible yachts along the St. Lucie River, to enjoying downtown Stuart’s restaurants, live music, and walkable charm. I also talk honestly about things like parking downtown (yes… it can test your patience), insurance considerations for older homes vs new construction, and what makes this coastal town so unique on Florida’s Treasure Coast.
