North River Shores Homes

North River Shores was formed in the mid 1950’s as a deed-restricted community. In the beginning every property was required to abide by the covenants “deed restrictions” and by-laws. Unfortunately, the original covenants included a 50-year sunset provision that eliminated the requirement of property owners to continue as an association member and comply with the covenants beyond 2006. Prior to the sunsetting of the covenants a group of residents prepared the restated restrictive covenants. Unfortunately, only 350 of the 500 property owners decided to consent to the amended restated covenants. The restated covenants run with the land. The covenants have since been further amended and the current covenants are very minimalistic and focus on maintaining the neighborhood aesthetic and views of our waterways and the North Fork of the St Lucie River.

Cocoanut Park and North River Forest is part of the North River Shores community. North River Shores is a boating community and provides access to the St Lucie River, Atlantic Ocean, Lake Okeechobee and Gulf Coast. Besides a private boat ramp, located at Nosaw Park, North River Shores offers four waterfront community parks and a duck pond.
