The story

A town built to feel like a town

Abacoa is one of Jupiter's most sought-after master-planned communities — known for its streetscapes, tree-lined sidewalks, golf, baseball, and walkable town centers. Built with New Urbanist design in mind, Abacoa blends residential living with walkable town centers, parks, and everyday convenience.

Unlike many South Florida communities built around gates and isolated subdivisions, Abacoa was intentionally designed to feel like a real town — and it shows. Developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s as one of Palm Beach County's first large-scale New Urbanist communities, Abacoa has matured beautifully — with established landscaping, thriving commercial areas, and long-term homeowner pride. What was once "new" is now one of Jupiter's most proven and stable residential communities.

What it’s like to live in Abacoa

Abacoa feels active, social, and genuinely connected — without feeling crowded. The community is built around front-porch neighborhoods, community pools, a golf course, and a town center that is genuinely walkable from most of its sections. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium brings concerts, spring training games, and community events right to the neighborhood. It's rare to find this level of built-in activity in a residential community.

  • Walkable town centers with restaurants, cafés, and local shops
  • Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium — MLB spring training and year-round events
  • Front-porch neighborhoods and genuine "neighbors know neighbors" culture
  • Community pools and neighborhood parks throughout
  • Miles of sidewalks, bike paths, and lakes
  • Quick access to Jupiter Beach, I-95, and downtown Jupiter
  • Abacoa Golf Club — public course, recently redesigned

How it came to be

A short history of Abacoa

  1. The land

    Abacoa is a master-planned, mixed-use community of about 2,055 acres, built on land once owned by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

  2. 1995

    The master plan was drawn by a team that included Calthorpe Associates, Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company and Moule & Polyzoides, following Traditional Neighborhood Development principles: a walkable town center, front-porch streets and a mix of housing types. The development’s regional-impact approval came in June of that year.

  3. 1996

    The Abacoa Development Company was formed as a partnership between Cypress Realty and the MacArthur Foundation, and DiVosta took on the residential building.

  4. 1997–1998

    Infrastructure construction began in January 1997. Newhaven, built by DiVosta, was the first neighborhood, with its first homes completed in 1998.

  5. The Town Center

    The plan put a spring-training ballpark, now Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, in the Town Center, with Florida Atlantic University’s Jupiter campus across from it. Windsor Park, the last village, was built roughly 2013–2018.

A town center you can actually walk

Abacoa was planned around its Town Center, with dining, shops and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium close to the homes around it. How close depends on the village, which is why we start every Abacoa search with the question: how often do you want to leave the car at home?

Abacoa Buyer Tip

Shop the village, not just the house

Compare villages side by side before you fall for a floor plan. Abacoa has a master association plus village associations, so two homes a block apart can carry different rules and costs. Measure the real walk from the front door to Town Center. Then ask for the exact village’s HOA, rental and parking rules in writing before you write an offer.

PUD and associations

How Abacoa is governed

Abacoa is a master-planned Planned Unit Development inside the City of Jupiter. It is made up of individual villages, and a village may have its own association with its own rules and costs on top of the community-wide one.

We don’t quote fees or rules here because they change and differ by village. We’ll get you the current documents for the exact home you’re considering.

Buyer checklist

  • Master association

    Ask for the master association’s current documents, what it covers, and what it costs for this exact address.

  • Village association

    Many villages have their own association on top of the master one. Get both budgets and both sets of rules.

  • Rental and pet rules

    Minimum lease terms, rental caps, and pet limits are set village by village. Confirm them before you rely on them.

  • Reserves and assessments

    Ask for the latest budget, reserve funding, and any special assessment passed or proposed.

  • Application requirements

    Approval steps, fees, and timelines change. Ask the association for the current application, not last year’s.
