Write a review about Stuart Tell people what you like or don't like about Stuart…
Stuart - A Town of History 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) The best thing about living in Stuart is the great weather and the proximity to the ocean. Being close to the ocean comes with a lot of perks especially if you love seafood and water activities. We are very close to everything including malls and stores. Stuart is also an excelle ...Read More nt place for families with kids as it is a close-knit community that is relatively safe.

One of my favorite things to do in Stuart is going to the Lyric Theater Downtown. I love to catch different plays and symphonies throughout the year. I also love the ambiance of the downtown historic stores and different monuments. It's so relaxing to take walks downtown and have a cup of coffee and dine at some of the cafes.

Living in Stuart requires that you have a car if you like to get out for different activities. Although everything is relatively close, it takes 10 minutes to get to the beach and other activities that may appeal to families. Read Less
