WHO LIVES IN VERO BEACH?

Gone is the stereotype that Florida is home to retirees only

Vero Beach is made up of an eclectic, diverse, highly educated populace of all ages, including families with young children through retirees. As the region continues to draw full time residents, snowbirds’ migration to the area boosts the population November through April. Vero Beach is a vibrant community year round. Surrounded by water, Indian River County has 43 square miles of water.
