Neighborhood Setting

With just 18 homes on a U-shaped street, Snug Harbor has almost no through traffic. It is also known locally for its annual Christmas light display, a neighborhood tradition so popular that it is now enjoyed by residents and their guests rather than opened to the public. Lots run roughly a third of an acre among recent listings.

Homes in Snug Harbor

Homes range from modest custom homes to Mediterranean-style estates. Intracoastal frontage on the east side commands a strong premium.

What to Know Before You Buy

  • Dock details: confirm dock size, lift capacity, water depth and any bridge clearances on your route to the inlet.
  • No mandatory HOA: MLS shows no mandatory association, which means more freedom and less oversight; look at the condition of neighboring homes.
  • Scarcity: with 18 homes, listings are rare.
  • Insurance and flood zones: waterfront and low-lying lots can carry higher insurance costs and flood requirements; get quotes early.
  • Homestead: if this will be your primary residence, file for the homestead exemption with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser by March 1.
