Affordable homes and many conveniences without the Palm Beach price tag

Floresta Pointe is like many of the neighborhoods in Port St. Lucie: full of big single-family homes in quiet suburban subdivisions at price points lower than Palm Beach, a city most PSL transplants are moving from. “People like the lifestyle in Palm Beach, but they can’t afford it anymore. They can find it in Port St. Lucie,” says Lasundra Scheibner, a real estate agent with LPT who sells throughout South Florida. Scheibner cites Port St. Lucie’s recent evolution from a somewhat undesirable spot in the Treasure Coast to a city with many conveniences residents can’t find (or can’t afford) farther south. But this evolution means homes are going fast in neighborhoods like Floresta Pointe. “You’ll want to get in now because it’s going to change soon. And once the houses are gone, people will be calling about Okeechobee,” she says.

Contemporary and ranch-style homes throughout the neighborhood

Homes in Floresta Pointe are a mix of ranch style from the 1970s and 1980s and contemporary style from the 1990s and 2000s. Three-bedroom builds are priced in the mid-$200,000s to mid-$300,000s, and four-bedroom builds are priced in the high $300,000s to high $500,000s. Homes sit a bit close, but the front yards are roomy and landscaped with small trees, shrubs and flowers. The occasional empty lot between homes provides more trees and plants. Streets are narrow, so residents park in their two-car garages and on big driveways. While there are almost no sidewalks, the subdivisions don't see much traffic, so there's plenty of space for a walk or bike ride.
Regarding crime, Floresta Pointe has a 4 out of 10 on the CAP Index, the same as the national average.

United States Submarine Veterans Park offers many outdoor amenities

There are several big parks just outside the neighborhood, including United States Submarine Veterans Park, a unique green space surrounding a small lake at Southeast Crosstown Parkway and Southeast Floresta Drive. The walking trail surrounding the water is a popular spot to exercise, as is the collection of outdoor fitness equipment. Sportsman Park in nearby Northport Village is another go-to for outdoor recreation. The park is usually buzzing with youth sports teams playing football and baseball. It also features an extensive collection of fitness equipment, plus an all-ability playground with separate areas for younger and older kids.

Southwest Bayshore Boulevard offers shopping and dining options

While Floresta Pointe is mostly residential, there are a handful of diverse, locally owned and small chain restaurants along Southwest Bayshore Boulevard. Taste of Jamaica Cuisine serves authentic dishes like curry goat and oxtail stew in a laid-back, casual atmosphere. St. Lucie Bakery at Bayshore is a family-owned and operated spot that has been serving the area for over 30 years and selling freshly baked pastries, soups, salads, and other light lunch bites. Big Apple Pizza and Pasta is a small chain that, of course, sells pizza and pasta as well as subs, calzones and stromboli. For weekend errands, residents head into next-door St. Lucie West and pick up essentials at Walmart and groceries at Publix.
