The Barclay

Juno Beach is an area just east of Palm Beach Gardens and south of Jupiter located on a wide stretch of beach and known as a true “beach lovers” paradise.  Founded many years ago as a stop for the historic Celestial Railway, Juno Beach was a true oceanfront town long before its neighboring cities grew up and the first place to be built was right along the ocean.

Barclay Condo Condos online now. All listings & Sold Statistics!

Unlike Jupiter, condos in Juno Beach sit directly on the ocean and the sand area here is wide and clean.  One of the earliest condominiums to be built here is The Barclay.  Built in the 1960′s, the condos in The Barclay are classic Florida architectural style with only 40 total units each facing directly onto the beach with screened porches to enjoy the tropical breezes which blow in from the ocean daily.  These two bedroom, two bath units offer the owner a chance to live directly on the beach where taking in the sun and surf daily will become part of your lifestyle.  Forget the cold and snow, move down here and that will be a thing of the past!

Juno Beach also is famous as a haven for nesting sea turtles who return every year to lay eggs along the beach and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center takes in injured turtles for rehabilitation before returning them to the wild.  Juno Beach is also famous for its fishing both along the beach and from the Juno Beach Pier.  Here fishermen catch snook, mackerel, pompano and cobia as they migrate along the coast.

Due to its ideal location, living in Juno Beach means you can shop and dine in all the restaurants and shops of Palm Beach Gardens and golfers will love all the courses between North Palm Beach and Jupiter to the north.

North Fork Homes in Jupiter FL

Jupiter is a small town made up of series of very small neighborhoods.  We have very few really large communities mostly due to the fact that this is a small geographic area.  One of these small communities is the gated community of North Fork located on the northern side of Jupiter, behind The Shores of Jupiter.

The 132 single family homes in North Fork are custom built and range in size from about 2,300 square feet of living space to around 4,000 feet with up to five bedrooms with three and a half baths.  Many have private pools.  The community is divided into an eastern side and a western side with winding streets under the shade of mature live oaks.  There are also a series of small lakes providing water views and some of the homes have preserve views behind them.  This means some homes have large lots, some to 1/3 of an acre, and at least one has a tennis court in the back.

These luxurious homes have 11 ft. or more ceilings, crown molding, fine stone floors, granite counters, dual vanities, Roman tubs, and most have stainless steel appliances and 42″ cabinets.  The floor plans often feature a den or home office in the front and some have circular drives.

Homes here might appeal to you if you are looking for a modest size community of luxury homes behind gates with a strategic location in Jupiter.  Jupiter is such a small town that everything you might leave home for, like shopping and restaurants, are about 5-10 minutes away.  If you like the famous beaches of Jupiter, they are about 10 minutes away and you will find they are “dog friendly” and free unlike many beaches up north.  And because I-95 is close by, you can reach downtown West Palm Beach or the International Airport in about 15 minutes.

Reverse Mortgage for Purchase

By James, Kelly, PGA National Home owner and guest blogger.

The Reverse Mortgage for Purchase is becoming more and more popular as Senior Consumers and Realtors alike are recognizing the advantages of this Government sponsored mortgage program. Whilst the Reverse Mortgage has been mainly used by Senior Consumers to use the equity in their homes to defray living costs and pay down debt, the program was broadened about two years ago to enable seniors to use a Reverse Mortgage for the purchase of a primary dwelling.

The advantages are, you can be qualified if you are 62 years of age or older regardless of income or credit history. They own the home, there are no monthly payments to make and there is no personal liability for the Senior Consumer nor for his or her heirs.

Many seniors moving to Florida are unable to access conventional mortgage credit due to current market conditions, past credit history or insufficient income to qualify. The solution to these issues is the Reverse Mortgage whereby the seniors do not have to utilize all their cash for the purchase and can purchase a better home, conserving capital at the same time and not fretting about monthly payments.

By the same token the Realtor can get the Senior Consumer a better home and not be concerned about having the client qualify for a mortgage. In addition the FHA lending limit for Palm Beach County on a Reverse Mortgage is $625,500 versus $417,000 on a “Forward” mortgage thus giving more latitude to the Senior and the Realtor to conclude a mutually satisfactory transaction. Similarly, the proceeds are tax free and do not affect Social Security.
