Homes for Sale in Jensen Beach, FL

Jensen Beach is an unincorporated community in Martin County, between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic beach on Hutchinson Island. I help buyers sort beachfront condos, homes near the downtown village, and single-family streets farther inland. Use the live listings on this page to see what is for sale now.

It sits in the northeast corner of Martin County, with Stuart to the southwest and Port St. Lucie, in St. Lucie County, to the north. The Indian River Lagoon forms its eastern border, so water is close from almost any direction, but a lagoon lot and a beach condo are not the same purchase.

The name comes from John Laurence Jensen, a Danish immigrant who arrived in 1881 and started a pineapple plantation. By 1895 the town was known as the Pineapple Capital of the World, and downtown still holds an annual Pineapple Festival.

The main public beach is Jensen Sea Turtle Beach, on Hutchinson Island facing the Atlantic. Martin County lifeguards are on duty, and loggerhead, leatherback and green turtles nest there, so nesting areas are marked off and visitors are asked to avoid the beach in the evening during marked periods. Indian Riverside Park holds the Capt. Henry E. Sewall House, The Mansion at Tuckahoe and the Mount Elizabeth Archeological Site.

Jensen Beach is in Martin County, so county school, tax and insurance rules apply rather than St. Lucie County's, even though Port St. Lucie is just to the north.

Schools: Jensen Beach is in the Martin County School District, one county-wide district. Which school a home is zoned for depends on the address, so I confirm the assignment with the district before you make an offer. If schools matter to you, tell me early and I will build the search around that.
