Spotlight on Abacoa

Abacoa Town Center

Abacoa Town Center

Abacoa is one of the more recent communities developed in Jupiter.  We have been residents of Abacoa for over six years.  We enjoy the close proximity of restaurants, shops, work and school.  It is a young community were the average adult age is approximately 36 yrs.  However, it caters to every age group.  It is a planned community on over 2,055 acres of land, including some areas of greenway preserves throughout the town.

Roger Dean Stadium has become the home for spring training for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Florida Marlins.  The stadium is conveniently located in the heart of Abacoa and brings great family entertainment to our community.  Other fun-filled activities include golfing at Abacoa Golf and family nights at the Abacoa Town Center.  The Abacoa Town Center is filled with retail shops and restaurants.  Most weekends at the town center are filled with live music, movies, and festivals for residents to enjoy.  Other businesses in the area inlude Florida Atlantic University and Scripps Florida Institute.  Since Scripps arrival, Abacoa has become a hub of scientific technology with the following of the Max Planck Society and other scientific institutes from around the world.

There are many community of homes that make up Abacoa.  A wide selection homes are currently for sale.  Prices begin at $84,000 for a condominium at the Village at Abacoa, located directly above the town center shops.  Townhomes in Antigua begin at $154,900 and single family homes start at $305,000 in Paseos and top out at just over $1,300,000 in Valencia.

Bowling For Charity

We had a fun-filled evening bowling for charity at the Jupiter Lanes in Jupiter Saturday night.  We didn’t win, but we didn’t care.  We had a great time competing and making new friends.  Real estate brokerage firm Cobblestone Realty came equipped with two teams of competitive bowlers and the cutest little two year old to cheer on the team!  However, the cheering stopped the moment Hamilton R. Head came onto the scene.  He was a little more than she could take.  So, brave daddy, Joe Quirk, took on that ferocious hammerhead and chased her fears away.

We were now ready to play.  To smoke up the lanes with our fast and fierce playing ability.  All to benefit the Quantum House, the Marlins-Cardinals Fund and the Florida Marlins Community Foundation.  We played and prayed hard.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to become the reigning champs for the 2009 Basebowl Tournament.  So, we packed up our balls and admirably laid our bowling shoes to rest knowing that another time, another charity, we will be there to take on the fight.  All for the sake of giving back to our community.
