Name should be changed to Aggro Beach 1 rating By Anonymous ( Dec 29, 2022) I will try to be fair in my review. I'm also rating Indian River County as a whole. The City of VB is a very small portion of the larger area that you will interact with. VB itself? It has some very nice qualities and I think it has a bright future given some of the projects it h ...Read More as on the horizon (Three corners and Twin Pairs Road diet). The Traditional design of McAnsh Park neighborhood is wonderful, and is one of my favorite neighborhoods on the Treasure Coast. Also, the neighborhood to the east of McAnsh, (18th Ave and 24th St) is very pleasant.

If you are a white wealthy retiree, this place is absolutely geared towards you. I will quote one of my fellow area natives: "Make sure you find a nice-gated enclave to insulate yourself from the poors. But we don't want to kick them out, we need them for the service industry". The government and business elite, from a long-term macro view, will stumble over themselves to cater to the retirement community. NIMBY is the rule here, despite a lot of lip service to "affordable housing". There is some overlap between the needs of retirees and families, but those aspects are limited here. What will determine your happiness here is whether you can make it into an enclave/ nice neighborhood.

The people here are the absolute worst, and it's a special kind of jerk that transcends race or class. Must be something in the water. You're either an object for getting what another person wants, or you are an obstacle. I can't find much humanity here. Going to the beach and isolating yourself from them only works for so long. Eventually, you have to deal with these people in public. Avoid shopping on the weekends or you will find yourself in conflict.

I was recommended to move here because "it's a quiet beach community that is a nice place to raise a family". Wow, that may have been the case a decade ago. My recommendation would be to wait for the latest migration wave to settlef, and check this place out again in 2024-2025. It could be a nice place to live. Read Less

Another retirement community. 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 24, 2020) If you’re of retirement age or an everyday beachgoer you’ll probably love it here. Housing options for anyone with an average income and not a senior citizen is abysmal. Two apartment options- Walker Woods or Vero Green. And they know it. Which means they can treat their tena ...Read More nts any way they want and know that they won’t leave. Houses for rent are a bit of a joke. You definitely don’t get what you pay for. The rest of the apartments are 55+ or income restricted. Job opportunities are not plentiful. Keep in mind that when the “snow birds” are “in season” here you’ll be waiting for a table anywhere you go, not be able to get a doctors appointment for months at a time, and will constantly deal with obnoxious drivers. Some may use the excuse that the snow birds bring in extra income for the state. However, it’s not worth the hassle in my honest opinion. Vero Beach was fun for a few months. Enjoyed the Arts District and all of the hip little night spots downtown. But once you have a family, there’s not much else to do. Too hot to enjoy the outdoors in the Spring, Summer, Fall. Too crowded with senior citizens in the winter. Read Less

Experience the Resort Luxury of Vero Beach, Florida 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Located along the picturesque shores of the Treasure Coast, Vero Beach is a scenic beach community on the east coast of Florida.

A booming aviation industry provides many diverse job opportunities, led by Piper Aircraft. As with most of Florida, citrus production and tourism also boost the local economy.

The best areas of Vero Beach are all of the coastal areas, capitalizing on the warm waters of the Atlantic and the idyllic sandy beaches. Disney's Vero Beach Resort is the area's biggest tourist attraction, providing an extensive family-friendly destination for fun for all ages. The Indian River Lagoon is the hub for boating, kayaking, and fishing activities. The historic downtown area has been re-engineered to provide a host of dining and shopping options, as well as numerous art galleries. Residents and visitors alike flock to the famous Marsh Landing Restaurant. Read Less
