Admirals Cove is one of the most closely watched private club communities in South Florida, and its real estate market moves through a small circle of agents who know the community well. In 2026, one name stands apart from the rest of that circle by a wide margin. From January 1 through mid-August, Rob Thomson of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities has represented more than five times as many buyers and sellers in Admirals Cove as his closest competitor.

That is a meaningful gap in any market. In a community as specialized as Admirals Cove, where dockage, membership, golf frontage, and interior water views all price differently, it says something specific: the agent who sees the most transactions is also the one with the clearest read on…

Avenir is the largest new master-planned community in Palm Beach Gardens and one of the most closely watched developments anywhere in Palm Beach County. Spread across roughly 4,752 acres on the north side of Northlake Boulevard, west of Florida's Turnpike, the community occupies land that operated for decades as the Vavrus Ranch.

Most of them assume Florida means giving that up, and in much of Palm Beach County they are correct. The area was built around the car. Two destinations that look close on a map are often separated by a six-lane road, a drainage canal, a wall, or a gate.

There are exceptions, though, and they are specific enough to…

The Loxahatchee River runs through nearly every serious conversation about waterfront living in Jupiter and Tequesta. Its central embayment feeds the Jupiter Inlet, its residential forks hold some of the area's most established boating neighborhoods, and its upper reaches remain wild enough that in 1985 the federal government designated a portion of the river as Florida's first national Wild and Scenic River.

For buyers, that combination is unusual. Few places on the southeast coast of Florida let you keep a boat behind the house, reach the Atlantic in minutes, and paddle a canoe beneath centuries-old cypress trees on the same body of water. Understanding how the river is laid out, which parts are protected, and which parts are navigable is one of…
