Veranda Gardens in Port St. Lucie: DiVosta's East-Side Community With Two Amenity Centers
The east-side location and no-CDD structure are real differentiators versus western Port St. Lucie master plans.
Veranda Gardens is a gated, all-ages DiVosta (PulteGroup) community in southeastern Port St. Lucie (34984), built around two amenity centers rather than one central clubhouse. New-construction pricing has run from the high $400,000s to the $790,000s depending on the collection (Classic, Signature, Estate) and lot, with resale listings showing a similar range. HOA fees run roughly $275-$335/month with no reported CDD, and the east-side location puts Treasure Coast beaches about 20-25 minutes out — closer than most western Port St. Lucie master plans.
Veranda Gardens comes up a lot with buyers who want new-construction quality without the western master-plan CDD assessments — the east-side location and no-CDD structure are real differentiators here.
What makes Veranda Gardens different from western Port St. Lucie new construction?
Most of the big master plans in Port St. Lucie sit west of I-95 and carry district-assessment (CDD) fees layered on top of HOA dues. Veranda Gardens, built by DiVosta, sits on the east side of Port St. Lucie with no reported CDD — meaning the carrying cost is paid mostly through HOA dues rather than a recurring district assessment. The trade-off: entry pricing here tends to run above the western value communities, so the premium is paid once at purchase rather than monthly.
What does it cost to buy in Veranda Gardens right now?
New-construction pricing has spanned the Classic Series (from roughly $489,990), Signature Series, and Estate Series (up to roughly $596,990+ for larger plans like the Easley). Resale listings have shown a broader range, from about $439,900 to $790,000 depending on size and waterfront status.
What amenities does Veranda Gardens offer?
Two separate amenity centers serve the community, an unusual structure versus the single-clubhouse model most master plans use. Shared amenities across the community include a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, dog park, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court, playground, and walking trails.
What are HOA fees like at Veranda Gardens?
HOA fees have been reported in the $275-$335/month range depending on section and phase, typically covering security, common-area maintenance, lawn care, and amenity upkeep. No CDD (Community Development District) fee has been reported for Veranda Gardens, unlike many western Port St. Lucie communities.
Selling in Palm Beach, Broward, or Miami-Dade before your move to Port St. Lucie?
Many Veranda Gardens buyers are moving up for more space and beach proximity, with a current home to sell first. We handle both ends of that move as one transaction.
What to verify before buying in Veranda Gardens
Confirm the current adopted HOA budget and exactly what it covers, since fees can shift as the community matures. Pull the parcel's actual tax bill rather than relying on a general estimate. And confirm current builder pricing and incentives directly, since resale and new-construction pricing can move independently of each other.
