Rustic Hills lives up to its name — a low-key pocket of Palm City where lots run larger and the water is the main draw. Every active home here touches the water, giving boaters and quiet-life seekers the kind of space that's harder to find closer to the coast. Families are zoned to well-regarded schools including Bessey Creek Elementary feeders and Martin County High School, and nearby communities like Pine Ridge At Martin Downs round out the area's character.
For buyers, this is a thin, deliberate market. Just four homes are active with a median list price of $862,000, and they tend to sit — median days on market runs about 85, so there's room to negotiate. With only one sale in the past year, pricing is more about the individual property than a broad comp set, which makes touring in person and checking the live map worth your time.
Rustic Hills is a community in Palm City, Florida.

Rustic Hills FAQs
Is Rustic Hills a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a quieter, water-oriented setting with larger lots inside Palm City. Every active home is waterfront, and the neighborhood feeds into Martin County schools like Hidden Oaks Middle School. It's better for space and privacy than walkable convenience.
Is Rustic Hills expensive?+
It sits in the upper-middle range for the area, with a median list price of $862,000 and active homes spanning $818,000 to $995,000. The single sale in the past year closed at $540,000, so there's real spread depending on the property. Waterfront frontage drives much of the price.
What do homes cost in Rustic Hills?+
Active listings average about $359 per square foot on a median size of 2,417 square feet, putting most homes in the high $800,000s. All four current listings are waterfront, and one includes a pool. Expect pricing to hinge on lot and water frontage more than square footage alone.
How is the market in Rustic Hills right now?+
It's a small, slow-moving market — just four homes are active and only one sold in the last 12 months. The median days on market is about 85, and sellers historically got around 83% of asking, which signals genuine room to negotiate. Low volume means each listing stands on its own.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't available for the neighborhood's current listings, which fits its more rural, larger-lot character. Property taxes run a median of about $6,243 per year. Confirm any dues and assessments on the specific home you're considering.
