Is Juno Beach concidered part of the Treasure Coast or the Gold Coast ? (Miami: real estate, house)

[SuburbanGuy]

I took a relatively short drive from West Palm Beach upto Juno Beach this morning, wanting to see the beach and Juno Pier. The beach was not as impressive as I was expecting, I mean it was very nice, but I was expecting more from what people have said about it. Anyway, I *was* really impressed with how lovely the town of Juno Beach itself was. Very beautiful town. Now I know West Palm Beach and Palm Beach are the northern end of Florida's Gold Coast, and I thought that Jupiter was the southern end of the Treasure Coast.... So where does that leave Juno Beach? Is it the Treasure Coast or Gold Coast?

I believe it's the gold coast because it is south of jupiter

Juno Beach is part of the Gold Coast. The Treasure Coast is north of it.

However, I was surprised to see it (and Palm Beach) discussed and advertised in Treasure Coast magazine one day.

I found out that's because the Treasure Coast Regional Planning commission includes them in their work.

Next time, drive a bit further up to Tequesta. Go see the beaches there especially at the state park. My mother lived at Broadview and the best thing is that Rt 1 is right on the Intracoastal and it's not a dumpy route one area. The beach is practically visable from the ICW. It's my favorite town besides Vero. Yes, the beaches need help on occasion they erode so it's possible that you'll see that sometimes but they are peaceful and clean.

thanks for responding guys.

I often see or hear in marketing, something to the effect of
'Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast' or
'The Palm Beaches and the Treasure Coast'
which is pretty obvious given the Palm Beaches proximity to the southern TC-- as both are in the same county--(whether the southern end is Juno or Jupiter) Different market than Miami-Fort Lauderdale I guess. Yet confusing since Palm Beach is part of South Florida and (AFAIK) the TC is not.


It's also interesting, IMO, to read differing takes on what defines something. In this case, sometimes you can find something online that states Juno Beach is the southern end of the TC

i.e.
Juno Beach, Florida, Palm Beach County

Located on the southern end of the Treasure Coast, Juno Beach is a quaint seaside residential community on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.

While other things (from the same website) say it's Jupiter:

Jupiter Florida, Palm Beach County, Jupiter Real Estate

Jupiter, on the southern tip of the Treasure Coast, enjoys the international reputation like no other location on the East Coast of the United States, for guiding ships throughout the centuries. It protrudes further out into the Atlantic Ocean than any other point in Florida and even today, when planning their routes south, shipmen consider this an important point of reference. This important nautical reputation was further enhanced with the construction of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse in the 1800s.

I have always understood "Treasure Coast" to mean Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties. Juno and Tequesta would thus be Gold Coast, though near the Northern end of same.

"Gold Coast" is Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade.

"Space Coast" is Brevard County


BTW, some people ONLY consider "Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade" as "South Florida." The Treasure Coast is too South to be part of "Central Florida," though, so a lot of times I just say, "Southern Florida"....


A lot of Northern Palm Beach County has a more relaxed feel than Southern Palm Beach County (say, North Palm Beach -- Northwards), and especially near Tequesta, which is probably one of the most "old Florida" feeling areas left in Palm Beach County. I really like the drive along US-1 down from Hobe Sound into Palm Beach County and into Tequesta and Jupiter and Juno Beach. Beautiful scenery, interesting topography, sand dunes, etc.



Realtor websites are not reliable EVER. I have a major problem with realtors who do not do their research. I remember seeing the house my friends just bought here in West Palm Beach being advertised as in Flamingo Park, a historic neighborhood, when in fact, they bought in "SoSo," three miles away.

Right SuburbanGuy...but when they say "on southern end of the Treasure Coast", that's technically true, it's boundary is contiguous and begins on the TC's southern end.

Yeah, it's all marketing. Probably because they're trying to attract the people who want migrate to a less dense area.

Like here in Vero the motto is "where the Tropics begin" but in reality this year it was darn cold ALOT like in the 30's overnight many many weeks! NOT tropical...(I didn't mind but wasn't "prepared" for that either), I had to dig out my Northern clothing for before noon when the sun warmed things up, not a big deal but running the HEAT does factor into your expenses and my heat costs were HIGH for those couple of months...next year I'll do things differently.).

I've only seen an extremely limited stretch of South Florida in the 5 weeks that I've been down here, but I'm so very amazed by the scenery, the homes, the foliage, etc., from Palm Beach to Juno Beach, along A1A. It's truly a feast for the eyes.

Its actually informally known as the "Celestial Coast" which encumpases the "planet " surrounding towns / cities.

You made that up, right? I never heard of it and there's not a single hit on google with that term.
