Salt air, wide sidewalks, and a quick stroll to the ocean — that is everyday life in The Bluffs. If you are weighing a beach-close move in Jupiter, this cluster of well-kept neighborhoods gives you a simple, coastal routine without the fuss of oversized footprints. In this guide, you will learn how the subcommunities fit together, what homes typically look like, what the marina and beaches offer, and what to know about ownership rules and fees. Let’s dive in.
You will find The Bluffs in Jupiter’s 33477 ZIP, set along U.S. 1 between Donald Ross Road and Indiantown Road. Interior streets like Ridge Road, Ocean Bluffs Boulevard, and Tidal Pointe Boulevard lead into the individual enclaves. The community stretches from the Atlantic side near A1A across U.S. 1 toward the Intracoastal, so your daily view could be dunes, lakes, or boats depending on where you land.
The Bluffs is not one single HOA. It is a family of subcommunities with distinct layouts and amenities. Common names you will see in listings are The Ridge, The River and River North, The Lakes, Ocean North and Ocean South, and The Marina. Each section runs its own association and rule set. You can review examples of amenities and neighborhood standards on the Ridge at the Bluffs HOA site.
Primarily single-family homes on tree-lined streets with modest yards. You will see consistent mid-1980s DiVosta floorplans and many homes with private pools. The section includes a community pool and courts.
A mix that can include lake-oriented homes, townhomes, and some properties closer to the Intracoastal. Expect water views in select spots and easy access to outdoor paths.
Townhome clusters organized around a central lake. These are popular for low-maintenance living with scenic outlooks.
Condominium buildings on the ocean side of A1A. These place you closest to the sand, with balconies and coastal breezes high on the lifestyle list.
Low-rise condo buildings grouped around a protected basin. The draw here is boat life, where slip access is the headline feature. To understand how the dockominium works, start with the Bluffs Marina overview.
Most of The Bluffs was built in the mid-1980s by DiVosta and related builders, which is why floorplans feel familiar across sections. In The Ridge, a common single-family footprint is 3 bedrooms and 2 baths around about 1,889 square feet under air. Condos and townhomes in other sections often run as 2-bedroom, 2-bath layouts, many with balconies and water or garden views. These are coastal-minded homes rather than sprawling new-builds, which keeps daily upkeep easy.
Because the homes date to the 1980s, you will often see upgrades highlighted in listing remarks. Typical improvements include impact windows or shutters, newer HVAC systems, updated kitchens and baths, and roof replacements. If you are touring, ask for a list of mechanical updates and any hurricane mitigation credits on file.
Across the subcommunities, you will see a repeating lineup of easy, outdoor-centric amenities. Examples include:
You can browse an amenity snapshot by section on the Ridge at the Bluffs HOA page. Rules and offerings vary, so check the exact HOA documents before you buy.
One of the main reasons people choose The Bluffs is how close it puts you to the ocean. Many addresses are an easy walk or bike to public beaches, including Ocean Cay Park and Juno Beach Park. Ocean North and Ocean South sit on the ocean side of A1A. The Ridge, River, Lakes, and Marina sit just inland of A1A and U.S. 1, yet still keep you within a quick ride to the sand. Local guides for the marina area describe these beach trips as less than a mile in many cases, which fits the day-to-day experience for residents. For a feel of the coastal setting, the marina’s local page is a good reference on nearby beaches and access.
Boaters have a distinct lifestyle option inside The Bluffs. The dockominium-style Bluffs Marina historically included about 94 fee-simple slips and is described as deepwater with relatively straightforward ocean access via the Jupiter Inlet, roughly 3 miles away. Slip sizes and features have evolved with improvements over time, so verify dimensions, pump-out availability, and hurricane procedures directly with marina management if boating is central to your plan.
Because The Bluffs spans several associations and property types, the fine print matters. Here are the key items to confirm while you shop.
Condo associations often cover exterior insurance and common-area services. Many include cable or internet and access to pools or shared laundry where applicable. Exact amounts vary by building. Ask for current budgets, reserve details, and a breakdown of what your monthly fee covers.
Policies differ by subcommunity. Some buildings allow pets with weight limits, while others restrict them. Rental timelines can range from seasonal allowances to longer minimums. Always review the recorded HOA documents and application packets before you plan to rent out a unit or bring a pet.
This is a coastal location, so wind and flood are part of due diligence. Check FEMA flood maps for the specific address, ask for hurricane mitigation records like impact windows or shutters, and confirm roof condition and age. Palm Beach County participates in the Community Rating System, which can affect insurance discounts. For context and county resources, start with the Palm Beach County CRS program page.
At the marina, slips were subdivided and sold fee-simple in a dockominium structure. If a slip is included with a condo or offered separately, confirm the title details, slip dimensions, power, pump-out, and storm procedures directly with the marina. The Bluffs Marina information page is a helpful primer before you contact the office for specifics.
Prices across The Bluffs span a wide spectrum because the mix includes ocean-side condos, townhomes, and single-family homes, plus some properties near the Intracoastal. Broad historical ranges have been reported from roughly the mid-$300,000s for some condo and townhome inventory up to the low seven figures for prime single-family and waterfront positions, with examples cited between about $375,000 and $3.95 million. Use current MLS snapshots for the most accurate pricing by building and view.
If you want beach days on repeat, easy community amenities, and floorplans that keep maintenance manageable, The Bluffs delivers. You can choose between ocean-front convenience, marina access, or low-key lake views, all within a few minutes of dining and trails. The separate associations let you dial in the lifestyle that suits you, whether that is a single-family home with a pool or a condo close to the dunes.
