Jupiter, FL is a nearly pristine little town with large city amenities. It’s where everyone fleeing the crime of Miami, the competitive nature of Boca, the outright snobbishness of Palm Beach finds far more than refuge. They find manageable living, true beauty, a sense of community Florida style. In short, there’s a reason so many people in southeast Florida are moving up the coast to Jupiter.

Yes, Jupiter is a world apart. And Abacoa is pivotal to that world. Very possibly the best-designed planned community anywhere … in or out of Florida. It’s its own little town, really. United, not divided, by its very unique neighborhoods.

Now, my little piece of Abacoa is Valencia. Filled with Mediterranean-style homes, gracious landscaping, and a truly upscale persona. And at the heart of Valencia is its clubhouse. Home to outdoor parties and competitions on the adjoining grassy field. Home to those who exercise religiously …  and those who simply pray they’ll make it though a workout. A clubby, cozy place with couches and chess sets – where you can play, chat or chill. It’s very bit as well designed as the neighborhood it serves.
