    "Great area and neighborhood, it’s gated and we have a HOA that keeps all aligned in a good way. Stuart is growing which is the sad part. What once was an easy trip into town now has become a 30 minute or more excursion. Within 5 square miles 8 new gas stations and over 500 homes. Traffic and lights are now similar to Jupiter and West Palm. My estimate Staurt will be like West Palm, DeRey and Boca if not a Miami traffic mess. City planning board seems to have sold out and allowing clear cutting for new home developments. In the mean time Staurt still maintains its small town qualities so fingers crossed it doesn’t become the place we then all want to leave."

    "After living in a big city most of my life I find that the somewhat sleepy Stuart has the perfect medium as it offers the small town close knit community feel of a small town but also has loads of shopping and restaurants that you would find in a larger city. Stuart/Port Salerno is also a stones throw away from awesome beaches as well as larger cities with abundant nightlife. "
