The River Club at Carlton

Swim Club Neighborhood | Indian River Shores, Florida

There’s a certain calm that settles in when you cross onto the barrier island in Indian River Shores. The pace slows, the light softens, and life feels a little more intentional. Tucked just west of A1A along the Indian River Lagoon, The River Club at Carlton is one of those communities that quietly delivers on lifestyle — without needing to shout about it.

This is where morning walks wind through palms, afternoons might mean a kayak launch or a poolside chat with neighbors, and evenings end with sunset reflections over the river. It’s refined, but never stuffy. Private, yet welcoming.

A Community Designed Around How You Actually Live

What sets River Club at Carlton apart is the way the neighborhood is designed to support real life — not just real estate. Homes and buildings are thoughtfully placed among mature landscaping, lakes, and preserve areas, creating a sense of space and privacy that’s increasingly rare on the island.

It’s just as comfortable for seasonal residents as it is for those who call it home year-round.

Homes & Condominiums

Condominiums

River Club condos are known for their generous floor plans — many offering three or more bedrooms, large living areas, and expansive terraces. This isn’t condo living that feels scaled down; it feels intentional and comfortable.

  • Elevator access in select buildings

  • Beautiful river, lake, or garden views

  • Secure, low-maintenance ownership

Single-Family Homes

Tucked within the gates are a limited number of single-family residences, often with water views, private outdoor spaces, and a quieter, more residential feel. These homes appeal to buyers who want privacy while still enjoying the amenities and security of a managed community.
