Veranda Preserve

Veranda Preserve is a gated 55+ master-planned community of 310 single-family and twin homes in southeastern Port St. Lucie, Florida, developed by Lennar beginning in 2020. Tucked off Becker Road near Florida Turnpike Exit 138, the community sits in its own serene enclave while still putting residents close to the Treasure Coast's beaches, shopping, and healthcare. Most homes are now built and the community is in closeout phase with limited new inventory remaining alongside a healthy resale market. Homes are offered across three distinct collections, giving buyers unusual flexibility within a single community. The Woodlands is the smallest, with four floor plans from roughly 1,400 to 1,695 square feet — two or three bedrooms, two baths, two-car garage, single-story, open-concept layouts with covered terraces. The Isles steps up to 1,800-2,389 square feet with optional dens and extra half baths, while The Grand tops out at 2,300-2,807 square feet with five floor plans, up to four bedrooms, and premium features. Twin homes are also available at the entry level. Every home includes Lennar's Everything's Included package — quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, smart home technology, and impact windows standard. The community is gated with a virtual guard and anchored by a clubhouse that serves as the social hub. Inside are a state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics studio, a cafe, a cinema room for resident movie nights, a lounge, and multiple gathering rooms used for card games, arts and crafts, and club meetings. Outside, residents enjoy a resort-style pool with lounge seating and a barbecue area, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and walking and biking trails winding through preserved natural space. A full-time activities director plans events and helps coordinate social clubs and special interest groups. The location is a major draw. Veranda Preserve is roughly 30 minutes from Jupiter and 45 minutes from West Palm Beach, with Treasure Coast International Airport about 35 minutes away and Palm Beach International roughly an hour south. Publix, Winn-Dixie, Walmart, and ALDI are all within a short drive, as are Walgreens, CVS, and Publix Pharmacy. Major healthcare is well covered — St. Lucie Medical Center, Port St. Lucie Hospital, and Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital are all nearby. Golfers have their pick of Evergreen Golf Club, Floridian Golf Club, Palm Cove Yacht & Golf Club, and Eagle Marsh. Outdoor lovers can explore Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens, Spruce Bluff Preserve, Oak Hammock Park, and the North Fork St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve, and Mets fans can catch spring training games at nearby Clover Park. Atlantic beaches are roughly 20 minutes east. For buyers seeking a smaller, well-priced 55+ community on the Treasure Coast — rather than one of the sprawling mega-communities further south — Veranda Preserve offers a focused, amenity-rich lifestyle at notably lower price points than South Florida alternatives.
