A little about Indian River County and Vero Beach. Indian River County is centrally located on Florida's East coast. Rightfully called the Treasure Coast, this area is rich in history, natural resources and the benefits of the climate for which the Sunshine State is famous. Offshore, the waters of the Gulf Stream ensure daytime temperatures that seldom drop below 70 degrees. From the barrier island's twenty-three miles of golden beaches to the azure waters of the Indian and Sebastian Rivers and the lush farm and woodlands, Indian River County is a place where people and businesses thrive and grow. Living is easy in communities of single family homes designed to suit every lifestyle, from affordably comfortable to the ultimate in luxury.
They line the streets of established city neighborhoods or overlook golf course fairways, pastoral settings and expanses of ocean, river or lake. All lie within a short distance of necessary services, shopping, cultural and recreational resources.
The county's Public Schools System provides innovative quality education preparing students for the 21st century and beyond. West of Vero Beach, the Indian River Community College expands the educational horizons for area young people and adults. Both the college and public schools provide vocational and technical training for Indian River County's labor force. The classroom is as big as all outdoors at the Environmental Learning Center and at several natural wildlife areas throughout the county. An integral part of community life, the county libraries' collections are enhanced with up-to-date computerized systems, hardware/software and audio/visual equipment.
Medical care is state of the art in Indian River County's two hospitals. Residents are served by a wide range of highly qualified health care professionals. In an emergency, paramedics, professional firefighters and law enforcement officials are just a phone call away. Spiritual needs are met by houses of worship representing all Christian denominations, as well as other religious affiliations.
In addition to its beaches and waters for swimming, surfing, scuba diving, boating, fishing and other water sports, Indian River County's parks offer countless opportunities for recreation and enjoying the out-of-doors. Eighteen golf courses allow for all levels of play and tennis facilities are widely available. Add Dodgertown Stadium, the 6,500 seat Spring training home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Disney's Vero Beach Resort and a host of museums, theaters, restaurants, night spots and shopping areas and you have the makings of an incomparable quality of life.
