If your idea of home comes with 54 holes of championship golf out the back gate, this is your corner of Port St. Lucie. Anchored by the famous PGA Golf Club and Kolter's resort-style Verano community, it's country-club living — for all ages. Here's the honest local rundown.
This is Port St. Lucie's country-club address — manned gates, manicured fairways, and a genuine resort feel. The star is the PGA Golf Club, with three championship courses designed by Pete Dye and Tom Fazio, plus a renowned learning center. Wrapped around it is Kolter's Verano, an all-ages community where the amenities rival a vacation resort. It feels polished, social, and active — a place where "retired" looks a lot like "having a great time."
Verano is all-ages, so it's not just for retirees — but it's paradise if any of these sound like you.
Every purchase comes with a privileged PGA membership and golf discounts — three championship courses at your doorstep.
One of Florida's true pickleball capitals, plus a 27,000-sq-ft social center that runs a packed events calendar.
Low-maintenance homes, manned security, and everything included — ideal for part-time or brand-new Floridians.
Unlike many golf communities, Verano is all-ages — with a playground for the grandkids and gated peace of mind.
A ballpark to set expectations — it moves with the market, so ask me for today's real numbers.
The entry point — often from the mid $300s, low-maintenance and lock-and-leave friendly.
Most homes land in the $400s (the community average is in the mid-$400s), with lots of floor plans to choose from.
Bigger homes — up to nearly 4,000 sq ft, and golf- or water-view lots — climb into the $500s and $600s+.
Kolter is still building here, so you can buy new or find a resale — and either way, bring your own agent to the model (me!), at no cost to you.
This is a gated, HOA community, and fees here run a bit higher than average — roughly the $500s per month — but they're genuinely all-inclusive: full lawn care and landscaping, manned-gate security, cable TV and internet, common areas, and access to all of Verano's resort amenities. When you factor in what you'd otherwise pay separately — yard service, a gym membership, cable — a lot of buyers find it pencils out. It's built for people who want the lifestyle without the upkeep.
Three Pete Dye & Tom Fazio courses at the PGA Golf Club, plus a world-class practice and learning campus.
Yes, 27 — making Verano one of the best pickleball scenes in the state, alongside tennis and bocce.
A 27,000-sq-ft social center and 13,000-sq-ft fitness center, with a resort pool & spa, dance studio, and demo kitchen.
Dog park, fire pit, event lawn, billiards, walking trails, and a playground — there's always something to do.
PGA Village sits just off I-95 on the west side of Port St. Lucie, so it feels private and green while staying minutes from the everyday. St. Lucie West shopping and dining are a short hop, Tradition's Landing is close by for big-box runs, and the Hutchinson Island beaches are roughly 30 minutes east. Quiet and gated, without being cut off.
Whether you're chasing the golf life, the pickleball scene, or just a polished, low-maintenance home, I'll walk you through Verano's floor plans, fees, and resale values — no pressure.
