The community of Harbour Isle, with a total of 912 waterfront residences and an 8’ deep marina, is a major component of the housing market on Hutchinson Island.  Buyers and renters are a mix of retirees from the Northeast and younger families from South Florida, attracted to the Treasure Coast’s laid back boating and beach lifestyle.  The increase in special events held in Ft. Pierce’s renovated historic downtown has contributed greatly to interest in local real estate as well.
