For families searching for a gated, single-story pool home near Jupiter and Tequesta, a new listing in North Passage covers much of the list. The house is at 8954 SE Water Oak Place, at the end of a canal inside a 24-hour manned-gate community on the Loxahatchee River. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms on one level, a 3-car garage, and a screen-enclosed pool with yard space beyond it, and it has been updated inside and out.
This post walks through the house, the community, and the location, along with how to schedule a showing.
The home has 2,338 square feet of living space on a single level, with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Kids' rooms, a guest room, and a home office all fit without anyone climbing stairs. Marble floors run through the main living areas. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range, which suits a family that cooks at home most nights.
The 3-car garage gives an active household room to work with. It can hold two cars plus bikes, beach gear, and paddleboards, or a golf cart for getting around the community.
The home sits on a .31-acre lot at the end of the canal, giving it a quieter position on the street. The screen-enclosed pool keeps the swim area protected from bugs and leaves, and there is still open yard space for play, a garden, or room for the dog. For a family relocating from up north, the backyard can be used year-round.
Families new to Florida often ask first about hurricane preparedness, and this home has the main features in place. The sliders are impact-rated. A full-house generator and a 500-gallon propane tank provide backup power and fuel on the property, and the propane also supplies the gas range. The HVAC system is new as of 2026, and the exterior has been freshly painted. Our guide to hurricane-ready home features in South Florida explains how each of these works and what to ask about on a tour.
North Passage is a private gated community along the Loxahatchee River, with a manned gate staffed 24 hours a day. Inside, residents share a clubhouse, a community pool and spa, a fitness room, tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court, and a playground. That covers most of what a family with school-age kids uses during the week, from after-school pickup games to weekend swims.
The community sits next to Riverbend Golf Club and is surrounded by parks and natural areas, including nearby Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Tequesta's restaurants and shops are a few minutes away, and Jupiter's dining, beaches, and entertainment are a short drive south.
North Passage has a Jupiter mailing address in the 33469 ZIP code and sits in unincorporated Martin County, so public schools are assigned through Martin County Schools. Families can confirm the assigned schools for this address through the district's school locator.

The house fits a growing family that wants four bedrooms on one level, a pool, and a staffed gate without moving into a large club community. It also suits buyers moving down from a two-story home who want single-level living close to the river, the parks, and the pickleball courts. In both cases, the updates and storm-season features mean the next owner can move in and focus on settling into the neighborhood.
If North Passage and a single-story pool home are on your list, the best next step is to see the house in person and walk the community while you're there.
