A sanctuary for some of America's wealthiest families, 17- mile-long Jupiter Island is the southernmost of Florida's three Barrier Islands. Located off of Martin County's (the county north of Palm Beach) Treasure Coast, the Barrier Islands separate the mainland of Florida from the Atlantic Ocean. From presidents to sport's celebrities, Jupiter Island's exquisite beauty and promise of privacy have proven irresistible to the rich and famous. Most of the homes here are built on 1- and 2-acre parcels insuring the low density that has contributed heavily to the island's high real estate values.
