Where do Palm Beach County buyers find new homes under $500,000? Often in St. Lucie County. On October 3, 2026, Flexmls showed 404 new single-family homes for sale in St. Lucie County, 217 of them under $500,000. In ZIP 34987, the heart of western Port St. Lucie's new communities, new single-family homes started at $399,990. Double-check the listing you are interested in.
For comparison, the lowest active new single-family listing in Palm Beach County on October 5, 2026 asked $525,000 (Flexmls, a single listing, not a builder community price). That gap is why so many Palm Beach County buyers spend a Saturday in the St. Lucie models.
ZIP 34987 is western Port St. Lucie, and most of the county's builder activity shows up there in the MLS. On October 3, 2026, 176 homes built in 2025 or 2026 were for sale in 34987, 150 of them single-family.

Source: Flexmls (Beaches MLS), active listings built 2025 or 2026 in ZIP 34987, pulled October 3, 2026. Builder names are as entered in the MLS. These are asking prices on those listings, not builders' published base prices.
The single-family band is tight: five builders, all starting within about $30,000 of each other. When prices sit that close, the decision comes down to what is not on the price sheet: HOA dues, any CDD assessment on the tax bill, lot size, and what an incentive is tied to.

Before you fall for that price, ask one question in writing: do you own the land under the house, or lease it, and what does the monthly fee cover? In some manufactured and land-lease communities, that answer changes your financing, your monthly cost and your resale.
Let me shoot you straight. The sales center is good at its job, and the person in the model represents the builder. Here is what we want answered first:
Is there a CDD, and what is the yearly assessment on the tax bill for this lot? Check the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser site for the parcel's non-ad valorem assessments.
What are the HOA dues, and what do they cover?
What is the incentive tied to? The builder's lender, a closing date, a specific inventory home?
What is the real price with the lot premium and the options you actually want?
How long is the drive from this community to where you work, at the hour you would actually make it?
Many builders only recognize your agent if the agent is with you on your first visit. Register alone, and you may be on your own for the whole deal.
That is what The Wilder Way to New Construction is built for. It is our free guide, including what builders will not tell you until you have already signed.
