Not a good place for a single retired person.

I've lived in Port Saint Lucie for over two years. I came here after retiring from a key position in a large city law firm, and thought this would be a nice place to relax and enjoy my years of retirement. Rumors are that the city beaches had some kind of contaminated waters dumped on them and that they are not safe for swimming. There is a church practically in every corner, there are no community classes to attend and not much to do to stimulate your brain. The nearest opera is in Palm Beach, (there is a very small opera in Vero Beach) but it does not compares to the real thing. If you want to go to a classical concert, you better start driving 1 hour or more to West Palm Beach. The town dies when night falls. Unless you are fun of going to bars and having drinks, there is nothing more to do here. For a single older person this is not a place to stimulate your brain, and even for a couple may still be the same. If you would be happy to go to do some exercises at the Civic Center, or go Wednesdays and Sundays to church, while dying slowly of boredom and inertia, this is the place for you. I honestly cant understand why would anybody with two inches of brain would love it here.
