Tradition Square serves as the community's town center and hosts events throughout the year. Neighborhoods are connected by walking and biking paths, and many have clubhouses, pools, and fitness centers.
Tradition is along Interstate 95 in western Port St. Lucie, with access to Florida's Turnpike and Stuart and Palm Beach County to the south.
Public schools serving Tradition are part of St. Lucie Public Schools, and the area is also served by private schools. School assignments are based on address and can change, so confirm boundaries directly with St. Lucie Public Schools before making a purchase decision.
Homes
Housing includes newer single-family homes, townhomes, and villas, with new construction available in several neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has its own HOA rules and fees, and some properties carry community development district (CDD) assessments, so review these carefully before you buy.
Before you buy
Review the HOA, condominium, or club documents, budget, and fees carefully before you make an offer, and ask whether any special assessments are planned. If you are buying a condominium, ask for recent milestone inspection reports and the structural integrity reserve study, which Florida law requires for many condominium buildings three stories or taller, since they can affect future assessments.
Look up the property's flood zone on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and get homeowners and flood insurance quotes early. Insurance can significantly affect your monthly cost, and a lender may require flood insurance depending on the zone.
Ask the seller for the roof's age and a wind mitigation inspection report. Florida requires insurers to offer discounts for qualifying wind-resistant features, such as impact-rated windows or shutters and stronger roof attachments, so these features can lower your premium. You can look up the property's hurricane evacuation zone through St. Lucie County Emergency Management.
If the home will be your primary residence, apply for Florida's homestead exemption with the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after you purchase. Once a home is homesteaded, Florida's Save Our Homes provision limits yearly increases in its assessed value to 3% or the change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower.
