A 24-hour guard-gated community built around interconnecting freshwater lakes in the heart of St. Lucie West, Port St. Lucie - resort-style amenities, low HOA fees, and quick access to I-95.
Lake Charles is a 24-hour, manned-gate community made up of several phases - 1a, 1b, 2a, 2c, 2e, 3a, 3b, 3d, 3f, and 3g - plus the Harbour Isles townhome section. Homes date back to the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s, giving the neighborhood a settled, established feel with mature landscaping.
The community's namesake lakes allow non-motorized and electric boating, along with catch-and-release fishing, and a number of homes back directly onto the water. It's an all-ages community — not age-restricted.
