Not sure if you are still inquiring about the neighborhood but if you are I can offer you up a bit of info. We live in River Pines community having moved from Palm Beach County to Stuart in Martin County approximately two years ago. The tax base is significantly lower, the people are friendlier, and there is much much more control on the expansion of the community to builders. Due to that Stuart did not end up becoming the concrete jungle its neighbors to the north and south did. The neighborhood is convenient for walking, biking, swimming, and backs up to a state preserve that goes all the way to the intracoastal. To get a real sense you should Google it.
If you have an interest we do plan on relocating next year, around April to june, to Portland and will be selling our unit. We will be listing sometime in February so if interested email me. All of the units are two bedroom, two and 1/2 bath, with kitchen, living room and dining area on the first floor. My husband is a contractor so has redone most of our unit bringing into the current year. email is akauff1111@bellsouth.net - Sun Aug 10 2008, 04:45
