My Aunt and Cousin live there, and I would, too, if was ready to retire. It’s pretty nice, and not too crazy busy. It’s just far enough away from Orlando/Space Coast and Miami/Fort Lauderdale.

My parents have lived there since 2010. Vero has plenty of room to grow, unlike a lot of South Florida.

However, my bet is on this data being skewed not by the home costs, but by the income number. There is a small but sizable contingent of HNW individuals who call Vero home. The area is known as the Treasure Coast for a reason. The barrier island has some super exclusive communities with multi-million dollar real estate; the mainland has places where you can buy new houses for $400K+ even now.

It’s a bastion of the wealthy. But also has some poor folks to service the masters. I assume the high incomes skew the data in this case.
