 Even
though Port St. Lucie is a young city, incorporated in 1961, it has
commanded attention as one of Florida's fastest growing, and most
promising cities. More than 150,000 residents make up Port St. Lucie.
With its beaches, navigable waterways, and 113 square miles less than
50% build-out, the possibilities are endless.
What began as a predominantly residential
"bedroom community" is now undergoing a transition, becoming a dynamic
and diverse city. With its low density and affordable land, Port St.
Lucie is appealing to business owners looking to move to a centrally
located area.
The city is undertaking aggressive redevelopment
efforts to improve the U.S. # 1 corridor with the intention of creating
a new downtown business area for the community. Over the next several
years a massive roadway improvement program will be implemented, including
the construction of the Crosstown Parkway, making traveling the city
easier and faster.
The Professional Golf Association (PGA) also
has a home in Port St. Lucie at PGA Village and has built a state
of the art PGA Learning center, holding its winter tournaments here
every year at one of its signature courses.
Port St. Lucie continues to be a favorite
destination for those relocating. Housing prices are an exceptional
value, and construction continues to be successful. More homes mean
more people, which attract the eye of famous name restaurants and
retail stores, bringing more business to the area. Others buy homes
in Port St. Lucie and because of its central and convenient location
to other cities, live here and commute each day.
Living in Port St. Lucie leaves very little
to be desired with regard to recreation and sports. The beach is just
a short drive away, and fishing, surfing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing,
windsurfing and boating opportunities are plentiful, in numerous locations.
Tennis, golf and other sports such as bowling, skating and skateboarding
are available at many facilities and public parks.
Ease of living, central location, affordable
housing and land, plentiful sporting and recreational facilities,
not to mention choices for higher education, and gorgeous natural
resources are just some of the many things this lovely city has to
offer. It's all just beginning for Port St. Lucie - a city that's
constantly changing and growing in population and opportunity.
