Families

Neighborhood choice for families depends in part on whether you want to be close to restaurants and bars and a movie theater. If you crave that proximity then look at St Lucie West. It’s got big suburban homes and yards but also has the greatest supply of things to do in the city. If on the other hand you want pure “traditional” suburbia then check out Tradition. It’s beautiful with big estates available within gated communities, and an incredible center, modeled after a 1950’s town. if you fancy that kind of thing. It also houses PGA Village, so if golf is your jam then you should put Tradition on your list.

Retirees

It probably goes without saying that Florida cities work for retirees but we’ll say it nonetheless. Port St. Lucie is an excellent place for retirees. It has an incredible mix of gated neighborhoods that are structured like 55+ active communities but with no age requirements, look at PGA Village for one of the nicer ones. There are also actual 55+ communities for those who want to avoid kiddos and pool splashers at the neighborhood center. Check out the Tradition neighborhood in Florida for great options - Vitalia at Tradition is a good starting point.
