Floresta Gardens — Port St. Lucie, FL

Floresta Gardens is one of the 32 official neighborhood focus areas recognized by the City of Port St. Lucie, set along the Floresta Drive corridor in the central part of the city. Floresta is one of the main north-south routes through Port St. Lucie, which makes this one of the better-connected neighborhoods in town.

What Homes Are Like in Floresta Gardens

Central Port St. Lucie is where much of the city’s mid-century and late-century housing sits: single-family homes on full lots, largely without homeowners associations, with construction quality that varies by builder and decade. Prices here generally land between the older eastern neighborhoods and the newer communities west of I-95. Because the stock has age, roof year, panel type, plumbing material and window ratings are the four things that move both the price and the insurance quote.

Location and Getting Around

Floresta Drive runs the length of this part of the city, connecting north toward Prima Vista and south toward Port St. Lucie Boulevard. The hospital, the Civic Center and the Botanical Gardens are all close, and both I-95 interchanges are reachable in a few minutes. For buyers who want to be central to everything rather than at one end of the city, this corridor is hard to beat.

What to Check Before You Buy Here

• Roof age and insurance. On homes of this vintage the roof drives the insurance quote more than anything else. Get a quote before you are under contract, not after.
• Water and sewer. Parts of this side of Port St. Lucie were on well and septic for years. Confirm what the address has and whether a city connection is required or available.
• Flood zone. It changes block to block here. Always pull the flood determination for the exact parcel.
• Permit history. Older homes often have additions, enclosures or sheds. Make sure what is there was permitted.
