Once upon a time, the city that is now Port St. Lucie was a fishing camp. There was a good reason for that: with no automobile access, the area was kept undeveloped until the 1960s. Then they built the bridge, and the rest, as they say, is history: today Port St. Lucie has weathered many storms, starting with the hurricane that gave this stretch of Florida its name—Treasure Coast—and moving through the real estate and financial crisis beginning in 2007. Today it’s a vibrant, beautiful place that you might just want to call home.
Port St. Lucie was carefully planned for the benefit of its residents. No area is either completely business-zoned or completely residentially zoned: instead, it’s a mixture. In Port St. Lucie West, this was done deliberately, so that residents could find easy shopping and fun things to do just minutes from their homes. Port St. Lucie’s newest community, Tradition, holds festivals year-round, was chosen by HGTV as the site of its 2009 Green Home, and is listed as one of America’s 100 Best Communities.
There are myriad employment opportunities in Port St. Lucie. This is where you’ll find the Florida Center of Innovation, a research laboratory and campus, with two biotech and life science companies, the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute. And Port St. Lucie hosts the N.Y. Mets for spring training—how cool is that?
