Pineapple Plantation POA is a master-planned community located in Jensen Beach (Stuart area), Martin County, Florida, ZIP 34957. This 556-home Planned Unit Development (PUD) spans over 332 acres and encompasses four distinct neighborhoods: The Pines, Windemere, The Reserve, and additional phases. Developed on former pineapple plantation lands, the community emphasizes family-friendly living with extensive natural features including seven lakes totaling approximately 23 acres and over 140 acres of designated wetlands and preserves.
HOA Fees and Financial Obligations HOA dues are relatively low compared to many Florida communities. Recent real estate listings indicate monthly fees around $83, which cover basic cable television service and maintenance of common areas such as the lakes, preserves, and shared landscaping. Additional recreation or special assessments may apply (one document references rec fees around $282 in context of court filings). Residents are responsible for their own property maintenance, with the association handling common elements. Estoppel letters, resale certificates, and applications for purchase or lease are processed through the management company. The association is governed by Florida statutes and maintains reserves for long-term upkeep.
Rules and Regulations The community operates under a comprehensive set of Rules and Regulations (updated 2024), available via the official website. These cover architectural standards, landscaping requirements, pet policies (pet-friendly), vehicle restrictions (truck-friendly noted in some listings), and use of common areas. Emphasis is placed on preserving the natural environment and wildlife. Board meetings occur in person and via Zoom at the management office. Applications for modifications, leases, and sales require approval. The governing documents include CC&Rs, bylaws, and specific PUD guidelines to maintain the community's aesthetic and functional standards.
Community Amenities and Lifestyle Residents enjoy a tranquil, nature-oriented lifestyle with private home pools common and space for additions. No central clubhouse or community swimming pool exists; instead, the focus is on the scenic lakes for views and potential recreation, plus proximity to Hutchinson Island beaches (3.5 miles), golf courses, fishing, and shopping at Treasure Coast Square Mall. The community is adjacent to highly rated schools, making it ideal for families. Easy access to downtown Stuart and Jensen Beach adds convenience.
Notable Aspects Pineapple Plantation stands out for its low-density feel, abundant green space, and Martin County's reputation as one of America's top places to raise a family (Forbes ranking). With over 600 homes ranging 1,400–3,100+ sq ft, it offers a mix of single-family residences in a PUD setting. The association recently transitioned management, enhancing resident services.
