During the last 50 years, most of the development in South Florida has been limited to single use zoning where housing was separate from businesses and schools and all were inter-connected by highways requiring the use of cars to navigate between them.  A by-product of single use zoning has been suburban sprawl found throughout much of South Florida.  Abacoa in Jupiter was designed to return the “work, live, play in one place” idea, so popular in years gone by, to the mainstream of family life.
