Jon's Current Read

"The Princess of Hutchinson Island is an oceanfront condominium tower on the island near Jensen Beach, reported as a roughly 20-story building of about 190 two and three bedroom residences completed in 1984, with a private dune walk to the beach. This is a condo read: the line, the floor, the exposure, and the association's reserves and assessment history drive value far more than the headline price. With Florida's post-Surfside reserve rules in force, the milestone inspection and reserve funding are first items to confirm. Note that the island and the Jensen Beach mailing area straddle the Martin and St. Lucie county line; confirm the county and taxing authority for the specific unit. This profile reflects the building's general character; confirm the current budget, any special assessments, and the specifics for a given residence."

The 60-Second Overview

The Princess of Hutchinson Island is an oceanfront condominium on Hutchinson Island near Jensen Beach (ZIP 34957), reported as a roughly 20-story tower of about 190 two and three bedroom residences completed in 1984, with a private dune walk to the Atlantic beach.

It is a for-sale condominium rather than a rental building, with residences reported to range roughly 1,200 to 1,700 square feet across varying floor plans; confirm the exact residence type, square footage, and exposure for a particular unit, because the line and the floor drive both the view and the value.

As an established oceanfront tower, the building carries a mandatory condominium association with monthly dues and resort-style amenities; confirm the current dues, reserve funding, and any special assessments for the specific unit before relying on them.

The location is the durable draw: oceanfront on Hutchinson Island, a short drive from the Jensen Beach Causeway and the mainland. Note the island and the Jensen Beach area span the Martin and St. Lucie county line, so confirm the county, taxing authority, and the details for a specific residence.

Best for

  • Buyers who want a true oceanfront residence on Hutchinson Island
  • Buyers drawn to resort-style amenities and a private dune walk
  • Buyers comfortable reading a condo association budget and reserves
  • Seasonal residents or year-round owners who want a Treasure Coast beach base

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a single-family home or a private lot
  • Buyers unwilling to confirm reserves, assessments, and milestone status
  • Buyers who want new construction rather than an established building
  • Buyers who need low, fixed monthly carrying costs

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

Net OutlookBullishThe structural story is steady demand for true oceanfront on Hutchinson Island, balanced against the post-Surfside reality that older coastal towers must fund structural reserves and complete milestone inspections. The watch items are the reserve funding, any special assessments, and the county and taxing authority for the specific unit.

    Florida condominium structural reserve deadline takes effect

    Under reforms passed after the 2021 Surfside collapse, condominium associations for buildings three stories and taller were required to complete structural integrity reserve studies and begin funding reserves by the end of 2024. Why it matters: For an oceanfront 1980s tower like the Princess, the reserve funding and milestone inspection status are the first items to confirm, since they drive dues and any assessments. Source

If we were buying in The Princess, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Confirm the line, floor, and exposure. Verify the exact unit line, the floor, and whether the residence faces the ocean or the river side, because that drives the view and the value.

2

Read the association finances. Confirm current monthly dues, what they cover, the reserve funding, and any pending special assessments before you offer.

3

Check the milestone inspection status. Confirm the building's structural milestone inspection and reserve study under Florida's post-Surfside rules.

4

Confirm the county and taxing authority. Because the island spans the Martin and St. Lucie line, verify the county and tax picture for the specific unit.

5

Comp within the building. Price against the closest comparable line and floor inside the Princess, not an island-wide average.

Best Buy
An updated higher-floor oceanfront line priced to comparable sales in the building, with the reserves and assessments confirmed.
Biggest Risk
Underbudgeting a special assessment, or misreading the reserve funding, milestone status, or county taxing authority.
Best Lot
Higher floors and direct-ocean exposures hold value over lower, river-side lines.
Smart Timing
Demand for oceanfront is steady; the building's reserve and assessment picture matters more than timing.

Community Details at a Glance

The Princess of Hutchinson Island is an oceanfront condominium on Hutchinson Island near Jensen Beach, reported as a roughly 20-story tower of about 190 two and three bedroom residences completed in 1984, with residences running roughly 1,200 to 1,700 square feet. Reported amenities include a private dune walk to the beach, a heated pool and jacuzzi, tennis, bocce, a putting green, a fitness suite with saunas, a social room, and secured gated parking. As an older coastal tower under Florida's post-Surfside reforms, structural reserve studies and milestone inspections are now required for buildings of this height and age. The island and the Jensen Beach mailing area straddle the Martin and St. Lucie county line. This guide reflects the building's general character; value turns on the line, the floor, the exposure, and the association's financial health, so confirm the current dues, reserve funding, any special assessments, rental rules, the county taxing authority, and the milestone status for a specific unit before relying on them.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Entry: lower or river-side lines

Lower floors or river-facing residences, the more attainable way into the building. Condition and exposure drive value.

Lowest entry
Core: mid to higher direct-ocean lines

Updated direct-ocean residences on solid floors, the heart of the building. Floor and finish set where these land.

Most inventory
High: upper-floor oceanfront residences

The larger, higher-floor oceanfront residences with the widest views, the top of the building's range.

Strongest resale

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in The Princess

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

The oceanfront position is the draw. The deal is won or lost on the line, the floor, and the building's reserves.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from BeachesMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Higher floors and direct-ocean lines hold value best
  • Exposure and floor are the biggest swings
  • Confirm the dues, reserves, and assessments
  • The oceanfront position is the durable draw
  • Confirm the county and comp within the building

At the Princess the value drivers are the line, the floor, and the exposure in a true oceanfront tower. Direct-ocean higher floors hold value over lower, river-side lines. Because this is an older coastal building that spans the Martin and St. Lucie county line, confirm the association's reserve funding, the milestone inspection status, any special assessments, and the county taxing authority for the specific unit, and compare against the closest comparable line and floor rather than an island-wide average.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • True oceanfront tower on Hutchinson Island
  • Mandatory condo dues, confirm what they cover
  • Confirm reserves and milestone inspection status
  • Line, floor, and exposure drive value
  • Confirm the county and taxing authority

As an established oceanfront condominium, the Princess carries a mandatory association with monthly dues. Confirm the current dues, what they cover, the reserve funding, and any special assessments for the specific unit, and budget for the carrying cost of an older coastal tower.

Condominium dues for an oceanfront building of this type typically cover building insurance, exterior and structural maintenance, the pool and amenities, water, and staffing; confirm the exact inclusions and any reserve or assessment line for a specific unit. Recreation centers on the building's pool deck, courts, and private beach walk.

Reported amenities include a private dune walk to the beach, a heated pool and jacuzzi, tennis, bocce, a putting green, a fitness suite with saunas, a social room with billiards, secured gated parking, and boat or trailer parking. Confirm the current amenity list and any usage rules for the specific unit.

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

In The Princess, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping The Princess, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Princess a for-sale condominium or a rental building?
The Princess is a for-sale condominium where individual residences are owned and resold. Confirm any rental or leasing restrictions for a specific unit before buying.
How tall is the Princess and how many units does it have?
It is reported as a roughly 20-story oceanfront tower with about 190 two and three bedroom residences, completed in 1984. Confirm the exact figures and the line for a specific unit.
Is the Princess directly on the ocean?
Yes. The Princess sits oceanfront on Hutchinson Island with a private dune walk to the Atlantic beach as a central amenity.
What county is the Princess in, Martin or St. Lucie?
Hutchinson Island and the Jensen Beach mailing area straddle the Martin and St. Lucie county line, so confirm the county and taxing authority for the specific unit before relying on it.
What do the condo dues cover?
Dues for an oceanfront building of this type typically cover building insurance, structural and exterior maintenance, the pool and amenities, water, and staffing. Confirm the current dues, reserves, and exact inclusions for a specific unit.
Are there special assessments at the Princess?
As with any older coastal tower under Florida's reserve rules, special assessments are possible for structural or capital work. Confirm the building's current assessment history and any pending assessments before you offer.
Does the milestone inspection rule apply here?
Florida requires structural milestone inspections and reserve studies for older buildings three stories and taller. For an oceanfront 1980s tower, confirm the building's milestone inspection status and reserve funding as a first step.
What amenities does the Princess offer?
Reported amenities include a private dune walk to the beach, a heated pool and jacuzzi, tennis, bocce, a putting green, a fitness suite with saunas, a social room with billiards, and secured gated parking. Confirm the current amenity list for the specific unit.
What schools serve the Princess?
The community is served by the local public school district for its county. Assignment is by address and changes periodically, so confirm the exact zoned schools and the county for a specific unit with the district.
Is the Princess a good investment?
A true oceanfront position on Hutchinson Island supports steady demand, with value turning on the line, floor, and the building's financial health. This is not a guarantee of future value; confirm the reserves and assessments.
How far is the mainland?
The Jensen Beach Causeway to the mainland is roughly 5 to 8 minutes by car, with downtown Jensen Beach and Stuart a short drive south and west.
Should I use the listing agent to buy here?
No. The listing agent works for the seller. Because the line, floor, and the building's finances drive value, having your own representation to read the unit and the association documents is the highest-leverage decision you make.
What is the unit mix at the Princess?
The building is reported to offer two and three bedroom residences across varying floor plans, roughly 1,200 to 1,700 square feet. Confirm the exact residence type and square footage for a specific unit.
