In 2008 when we stopped there, a part of the development had been set aside for a senior community but that section was closed, due to Levitz Bros. having gone bankrupt. I imagine that development has restarted since then.
We did quite a bit of looking in Port St. Lucie and thought St. Lucie West was another nice community, reasonably priced.

Thanks for the tip. We spent 2 weekend days there touring homes. The PGA Verano has a almost $400 a month amenity fee and is near Traditions. Traditions had gone bankrupt and was restarted building by another builder. I kind of got the feeling they went through a home crisis in that area because there is hardly any development of retail or anything close to Traditions, just empty land covered in sand. Every time I mentioned retail they pointed me to the one small shopping area and a Target. Our fav was PGA Verano but because of the lack of development and high fees we steered away.
