Zephyr Way Historic District

U-shaped Zephyr Way is near the intersection of Donald Ross Road and Ocean Drive. Viewing it is a bit like stepping into a time machine and seeing Juno Beach as it was in the 1950s. These low-rise beach houses were built on small plots and were typical of old Juno Beach with lots of natural shade, pastel colors and Bermuda shutters.

Since the town adopted its first zoning code in 1954, many of these houses would not meet today’s more rigorous code requirements. However, the town wanted to protect and preserve quaint neighborhoods like this and so designated them Historic Preservation Districts. This allows owners to restore or reconstruct these houses as long as they maintain their Old Florida cottage style.
