Curving into the North Fork of the St. Lucie River just north of the Roosevelt Bridge and west of US-1, North River Shores features deepwater finger canals, oak-shaded 1960s CBS ranches, and low-rise riverfront condos. Although addresses read Stuart 34994, North River Shores is unincorporated and permits with Martin County at 900 SE Ruhnke Street.
Mid-century ranch houses along NW River Shores Boulevard and the bird-named canal courts often swap 1960s jalousies and terrazzo-sill sliders for Low-E laminated units.
We serve Martin County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office.

Facing south and west across the wide confluence of the St. Lucie River, North River Shores properties took sustained Exposure D water fetch and storm surge during the September 2004 Frances and Jeanne hurricanes, and sit just across the river from where Stuart's EF1 tornado touched down during Hurricane Milton on October 9, 2024.
Many homes along NW River Shores Boulevard and the bird-named canal streets were built in the 1960s and 1970s with wide horizontal-roller openings, terrazzo or tile sills, and uninsulated Florida-room enclosures. Retrofitting those masonry openings with structural mullion bars and Low-E laminated impact glass eliminates rattling tracks and salt-air drafts.
Canal-front and riverfront homes in North River Shores frequently upgrade 2- and 3-panel patio sliders and wide horizontal rollers overlooking boat docks to coastal-rated impact units with 316 stainless steel hardware, while riverfront condominiums along the North Fork install heavy-duty aluminum sliders and single-hungs engineered for multi-story Exposure D design pressures.
Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Grants and insurance

The fine print
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.
