Jensen Beach homes

We know Jensen Beach homes

Running from the sand ridge along Indian River Drive and golf communities like Eagle Marsh and Pinecrest Lakes across the Wacha Causeway to Martin County's stretch of South Hutchinson Island, Jensen Beach spans both mainland and oceanfront exposures. Unincorporated Jensen Beach parcels permit with Martin County at its Stuart office (900 SE Ruhnke St), whereas Town of Ocean Breeze lots file at 1508 NE Jensen Beach Blvd.

Mainland bluff houses along Indian River Drive and high-rise condos across the causeway on South Hutchinson Island face heavy salt mist off both the lagoon and the Atlantic.

We serve Martin County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office.

Ground zero for the 2004 Frances & Jeanne eyes and sea-turtle glass rules

Hurricanes Frances (Sept 5, 2004) and Jeanne (Sept 25, 2004) both made eye landfall right at Jensen Beach within twenty days, battering Indian River Drive homes and MacArthur Boulevard condo towers with cyclic gusts and salt spray.

On Martin County's section of South Hutchinson Island, LDR §4.3 mandates <=45% VLT turtle tint on dune-visible glass during the March 1–Oct 31 nesting season, and FEMA Flood Zone AE/VE window swaps stay well below the FEMA 50% Substantial Improvement rule.

Windows and doors for Jensen Beach homes

Elevated bluff homes along Indian River Drive use wide picture and casement windows engineered for Exposure C lagoon fetch, while single-family CBS homes in Pinecrest Lakes, Eagle Marsh, and Leilani Heights upgrade builders-grade single-hungs and patio sliders to Low-E laminated glass. Across the causeway on South Hutchinson Island, oceanfront condominiums combine Exposure D design pressures, heavy commercial-grade aluminum frames, and <=45% VLT turtle-compliant glazing.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Martin County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II wind map runs from 150 to 165 mph, above the 140 mph mark that puts the entire county in the wind-borne debris region.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.
