Xanadu by the Sea is a gated beachside enclave of about 64 single-family homes on Xanadu Place, a short stroll from Jupiter Beach. The original homes date from around 1978 to 1981, and many have been remodeled or rebuilt, so you will find everything from modest originals to new custom homes.
Stefan’s take
Xanadu by the Sea is a landmark beach community! A gated street of single-family homes where the beach is part of daily life, no car needed.
