🫶 We got your back

Wellness: Whether you’re itching for a fiery vinyasa sweat or a calming stretch, Jupiter has a studio to match your mood and skill level. These yoga havens pair top-notch teachers with a vibe that’ll make you want to roll out your mat every day.

Adventure: Dream of Disney photoshoots at sunrise and shell-strewn Gulf beaches by afternoon? These family vacation ideas cover everything from splurge-worthy thrills to wallet-friendly escapes.

Gear: Skip the $800 monster machines that could probably blend your iPhone and the $30 lumps that choke on ice. Our 2025 blender guide cuts through the hype so you get a blender that actually works without leaving you $200 poorer.

Chocolatier: From silky truffles to bars you’ll 100% hide in the back of the pantry (sorry, not sorry), The Chocolate Spectrum is here to fuel your cocoa-fueled happiness. Just remember: sharing is optional, and “just one piece” is a myth.

Home: Many homeowners have no idea they’re sitting on thousands in equity they can use to redo their bathroom, kitchen, or whatever their hearts desire. This free equity loan comparison tool can help you find the best fit and get started on the right foot.

🏠️ Price is right – Jupiter edition

How it works: We’re going to give you some facts about a home for sale, including a picture of the outside, the kitchen, and one additional room. Your job? Guess how much it’s listed for (preferably before you click to find out).

Listed by: Carol A Carpenter (Donohue Real Estate Palm Beach)

Double everything in the kitchen, from dishwashers to induction cooktops, plus a hibachi island for show-stopping meals and a hidden pantry for secret snacks. Flagstone and North Carolina Pine floors, custom molding, wainscoting, and brick accents give every room its own personality, while impact windows and doors keep things secure. Out back, the saltwater, beach-entry pool comes with both a heater and a chiller, so the water is always just right, all framed by a lush natural preserve.

The neighborhood is packed with amenities and sits minutes from world-class shopping, deep-sea fishing, and a restaurant scene that rivals the best. South Florida’s beaches and vibrant culture are right outside the door.
