Wide water views and a charming atmosphere crate the perfect place to call home in Tequesta, Florida. Tequesta is an incorporated village found just north of Jupiter. It is a cozy area covering just over 2 square miles and Tequesta features a small population making it very intimate and private. Though Tequesta is small it packs a punch! You will love the local restaurants, with some of the best tropical cuisine in the state. Adorable shops are dotted throughout the village offering specialty shops for boating, fishing, clothing and food. The privacy and serenity Tequesta has to offer are some of the characteristics that make its homes so desirable. 

The Loxahatchee River winds throughout parts of Tequesta offering ideal waterfront real estate.
