About Piper Aircraft

Piper Aircraft is a general aviation manufacturer headquartered on Airport Drive West at Vero Beach Regional Airport. The company employs hundreds of people across engineering, manufacturing, flight test, and corporate roles. Many employees relocate from out of state, arriving in Vero Beach with an offer letter and a need for move-in-ready housing.

Our mainland and near-airport properties are a 7–12 minute drive from Piper's facility via Aviation Boulevard and US-1. The commute is straightforward with minimal traffic, even during peak hours.

The neighborhood around Piper

The area around Piper is practical and convenient. Publix and Walmart are within a few minutes. The Indian River Mall is nearby for basics. But the real perk of living with North Crane is that you're also just 10–15 minutes from the beach. After a shift at the plant, you can be watching the sunset on Ocean Drive before you'd even hit traffic in a bigger city.

“Moved down from Wichita for a role at Piper. North Crane had us in an apartment within a week of our start date. The commute is nothing — seven minutes door to door.”

— Piper Aircraft engineer, North Crane resident since 2024
