What stands out about Rio for a referring agent?

Rio is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Martin County, on the north side of the St. Lucie River across from Stuart and bordered by Jensen Beach [9]. The roll shows 282 house parcels and 36 mobile-home parcels (legal-description match, not a boundary), a median house just value near $400K and a median year built about 1981 [1]. Houses make up 100% of residential parcels, so the lot, the roof and insurance come first and association rules depend on the subdivision.

What else does the Rio roll show?

Beyond houses, the Rio roll shows 36 mobile-home parcels and 43 vacant residential parcels [1]. The largest legal-description groups on the roll are Rio St Lucie (74 parcels) and Corona Del Rio (64 parcels); the roll shortens names, so confirm the exact community name from the deed or the property appraiser [1][3].

How much can the roll tell you about Rio?

Rio has 282 house parcels and no condo parcels on the 2026 roll. That is too few parcels for a price trend or a sale median, so this page shows the roll's own figures and makes no claim about market direction [1]. Community rules and current listings are not on the roll: ask Brian what is available for your client, or start with the Jensen Beach page for a wider search.

How does Rio compare with the rest of Martin County?

Rio holds 0.5% of Martin County's 51,870 house parcels on the 2026 roll and has no condo parcels [1]. Set against a Martin County median of $445K, the Rio figure of $400K runs 10% below it [1]. Across Martin County the median house dates from 1990; in Rio it dates from 1981, and 41% of houses there predate 1980 (countywide: 24%) [1]. In Rio, 76% of house parcels carry homestead; the Martin County figure is 77% [1].

Jensen Beach has 6,269 house parcels, 1,028 condo parcels and a $380K median house just value. Stuart has 19,628 house parcels, 9,406 condo parcels and a $400K median house just value. Hutchinson Island has 610 house parcels, 2,482 condo parcels and a $2.35M median house just value [1].

What if your Rio client has to sell before buying?

For a Rio seller, the first step is a 15-minute seller call with Brian. Sellers can also open the Stress-Free Sale guide or ask for a free home valuation of the Rio property.
