What is Tradition in Port St. Lucie, and how many neighborhoods does it have?
Tradition is a master-planned community inside the city of Port St. Lucie that Mattamy Homes describes as more than 8,300 acres with 2,500-plus residential homesites, single-family and townhome neighborhoods, and a Town Center (facts as of November 9, 2026). The page does not give a neighborhood count, and builders and neighborhoods keep being added, so this page lists the neighborhoods we have written guides for and leaves the total to the developer. Acreage is stated differently by third parties; we use Mattamy's figure and attribute it. For the wider city, see Port St. Lucie homes for sale.
What is in the Tradition master plan: Town Center, trails and the TIM shuttle?
Mattamy's Tradition page describes Tradition Town Center as a gathering space with boutique eateries and stores, a lawn and Town Hall; the T Trail as an expanding trail system connecting neighborhoods, the Town Center and Cleveland Clinic; and TIM as a fully electric shuttle with posted operating hours. Planned items are described as future, so confirm what is open today before relying on any of it.
Which Tradition neighborhoods and builders do we have guides for?
Each guide below is our own page for one neighborhood, updated between August and November 2026. Home types are as described in those guides; builders and availability change, so confirm both with the builder on the day you visit.

What does it cost to buy in Tradition: prices, HOA and CDD?
Prices vary by neighborhood, builder and home type. For resale context, our October 2026 comparison table in the Riverland guide shows a Tradition single-family median of $446,000 across 317 closed sales, with the middle half between $380,000 and $525,000 (Flexmls, BeachesMLS, October 23, 2025 through October 22, 2026, pulled October 25, 2026). Those are past sales across the whole name-matched area, not a price for any one neighborhood.
HOA dues and any community development district (CDD) assessment differ by neighborhood and are separate from the price. Ask the builder or listing agent for the HOA budget and for any non-ad valorem assessment, and check the parcel in the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser record. No HOA or CDD figure is stated here because none was available from a dated source.

What are healthcare, schools and shopping like inside Tradition?
Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital is at 10000 SW Innovation Way, Port St. Lucie, and Cleveland Clinic describes a 24-hour emergency department there. Mattamy's page also describes Renaissance Charter School at Tradition (K-8, opened 2013) and Tradition Preparatory High School (2021); confirm charter admissions directly with each school. For public-school assignment at an exact address, use St. Lucie Public Schools student assignment, because proximity does not establish placement. Shopping and dining are concentrated around the Town Center per Mattamy; test the routes you would use.
Should you buy new construction or a resale in Tradition?
Both exist in Tradition. A new home comes with builder contract terms, deposit schedules, completion dates and a warranty to read, while a resale comes with a known condition and the seller's records. Either way, ask for the neighborhood's HOA budget and any CDD in writing, and get an independent inspection. Start with our new construction buyer guide, and contact us before your first model-home visit or builder registration so we can discuss representation. For another master-planned option, see Wylder or PGA Village Verano.
Brian's take
Tradition is big enough that two streets can feel like different places. I want buyers to look at the specific neighborhood, the builder and the monthly costs, not just the name.
