Homes on the Barrier Island are most often characterized by location
Beachside - East of Hwy A1A (main access that runs north-south) or
Riverside - west of Hwy A1A. Many communities will have river access.
Segments of the Barrier Island - North Beach, Central Beach & South Beach
Since Indian River County has had a height restriction in place since the early 1970's, Vero Beach has a wide selection of single family homes available on the barrier island, but only 1 high rise condo complex. This somewhat unique feature is most noticeable south of the 17th street bridge, where a 5 mile stretch of the best beach on the island is lined with nothing but individual homes and a beach park on each end. The very low population density of this area makes "south beach" feel like you are on a private island.
