A 55+ new-construction community in Port St. Lucie with modern homes, resort amenities, and an active-adult focus — a newer age-restricted option in St. Lucie County.
Veranda Preserve is the 55+ counterpart to Veranda Gardens — a newer age-restricted active-adult community in Port St. Lucie with modern homes and resort-style amenities. For buyers who specifically want a guaranteed 55+ community with recent construction in central PSL, this is the one to look at over its all-ages sibling.
The tax picture is St. Lucie County's standard: ~1.31% effective, among the highest in Florida, roughly $490/month on a $450,000 home year one. Confirm the CDD status too — newer PSL communities commonly carry one, adding to the monthly total.
The trade-off versus the big master plans (Tradition, Riverland) is amenity scale — Veranda Preserve is more intimate — but you gain a central location and newer construction.
