Felix A Williams Elementary School

It's a solid pick for families who want water access and strong schools in one place, feeding into Hidden Oaks Middle School and Martin County High. With 58 of 111 active homes on the water and 81 with pools, the lifestyle here leans outdoorsy and low-key. It's residential Palm City at its most established.

The median list price is $525,000, which is squarely mid-market for Palm City, but the range is enormous — from around $107,000 up to $35 million. That spread reflects everything from condos to major waterfront estates, so budgets from first-time buyer to luxury all have options.

Over the last 12 months, 45 homes sold at a median price of $550,000, and average pricing runs about $531 per square foot on a median home size near 1,450 square feet. The 36 active listings above $1M skew the top of the market, so it pays to compare within your own price band.

It favors patient buyers: the median days on market is 93, and sellers are averaging 93% of their asking price. With 111 active listings and only 45 sales in the past year, there's inventory to choose from and leverage to negotiate on the right Palm City homes for sale.

Median property tax here runs about $4,928 a year, which is typical for Martin County at these price points. HOA data isn't consistently reported across the zone — only 9 of the active listings are in gated communities — so fees vary widely and are worth confirming per property. Median rent, for comparison, sits at $3,200 a month.
