Palm City is an unincorporated community in Martin County, tucked along the St. Lucie River. The area is known for its gated subdivisions and golf communities, including neighborhoods along Martin Downs Boulevard. Property lots here tend to be larger than in neighboring Port St. Lucie, and many homes sit on acreage with detached garages, outbuildings, or boat docks that require their own electrical circuits. The mix of waterfront properties and well-and-septic lots west of US-1 means electrical service needs vary widely from one street to the next.
