Many of Tradition's amenities without the price tag
Saint Lucie West is a well-manicured Port St. Lucie neighborhood that features multiple gated communities and a bustling retail center. It rivals nearby Tradition, a newer neighborhood with similar amenities. But more often than not, homes in Saint Lucie West come with a lower price tag than those in Tradition. “I’ll have clients who reach out to me through my YouTube channel, and they want to see Tradition. I’ll show them Tradition, and they’ll say they need to think about it. By the time they’ve made up their minds, the prices have jumped, and now Tradition is out of their price range,” says Jonathan “BJ” Hayes, a Realtor with REAL Broker and a long time Port St. Lucie resident. “So, I show them a community like the Cascades where I can get them a bigger house for their money. If someone is younger, they can move into the Lake Charles community. There’s something for everyone in Saint Lucie West and you get more bang for your buck.”
