Platted in 1958 and incorporated in 1959, it covers just 0.21 square miles (about 0.15 of land) with roughly 405 residents and ZIP 33469.

Architecture & character
Low-key Old Florida, deliberately preserved
The town was preserved as a low-density, low-rise, single-family beach community: roughly 245 homes behind one gated entry, streets that follow the shoreline, and water on three sides. There are no high-rises and no commercial strips, and the town runs its own municipal police force. Beach life, boating through the inlet, and an unusually tight community define the experience.

HOA, club & restrictions
Town ordinance is the gatekeeper
The town's zoning and single-entry gating do the work that HOAs do elsewhere: density stays low, heights stay low, and uses stay residential. Lot-level covenants and any association dues were not itemized in this research and read Contact for current information; Kelby will review them with you for any property you shortlist.

Waterfront, flood zone & insurance
Barrier-island exposure on every side
The town is surrounded by water on three sides and sits almost entirely within FEMA-mapped coastal high-hazard zones. Flood, wind, and storm-surge insurance are significant ongoing costs, varying with elevation and construction. Verify each property with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and an insurer experienced with barrier-island risk.

New construction & pre-construction
Rebuilds within town design review
Unverified

Investment & rental considerations
Scarcity-driven, not yield-driven
With roughly 245 homes and water on three sides, inventory is thin and trades on scarcity rather than yield; rental activity is limited and town-regulated. No rental or yield figures were verified; underwrite the specific property with Kelby.
