Other types of housing that are prevalent in Tequesta include large apartment complexes or high rise apartments ( 40.18%), row houses and other attached homes ( 7.09%), and a few duplexes, homes converted to apartments or other small apartment buildings ( 2.23%).

There is a lot of housing in Tequesta built from 1970 to 1999 so parts of town may have that "Brady Bunch" look of homes popular in the '70s and early '80s, although some of these houses were built up through the early '90s as well. There is also a lot of housing in Tequesta built between 1940-1969 ( 30.80%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from between 2000 and later ( 13.34%).
Vacant housing appears to be an issue in Tequesta. Fully 18.76% of the housing stock is classified as vacant. Left unchecked, vacant Tequesta homes and apartments can be a drag on the real estate market, holding Tequesta real estate prices below levels they could achieve if vacant housing was absorbed into the market and became occupied. Housing vacancy rates are a useful measure to consider, along with other things, if you are a home buyer or a real estate investor.
In the last 10 years, Tequesta has experienced some of the highest home appreciation rates of any community in the nation. Tequesta real estate appreciated 194.93% over the last ten years, which is an average annual home appreciation rate of 11.42%, putting Tequesta in the top 10% nationally for real estate appreciation. If you are a home buyer or real estate investor, Tequesta definitely has a track record of being one of the best long term real estate investments in America through the last ten years.
Appreciation rates are so strong in Tequesta that despite a nationwide downturn in the housing market, Tequesta real estate has continued to appreciate in value faster than most communities. Looking at just the latest twelve months, Tequesta appreciation rates continue to be some of the highest in America, at 12.20%, which is higher than appreciation rates in 94.07% of the cities and towns in the nation.
