Friends here are hard to come by - 8/18/2011
We moved here from Jersey and it was a culture shock..I don't know what it is but we can't seem to find anyone that we share common ground with. They are either too young or too old. Our son had no problems at all finding friends..our neighborhood was filled with boys and so life was good for him. I love the beach but there's no Boardwalk so it is a bit boring..the block we live on has extremely bizarre and nasty ppl. The only fun thing to do here is go to Thrift

A Taste of Enlightenment - 7/31/2011
I am going to speak from the heart here so bare with me. I could not be happier with my decision to move to Port Saint Lucie. I have lived here for 3 years now(Homeowner). Moved to Florida from Chicago about 10 years ago to get away from the Crime I.E.(Murder,Gangs,Violence,Bullets flying by your head while you sleep in your bed,Pollution,Drug Abuse,Poverty,Homeless People hanging out in front of EVERY business CRYING from hunger, asking for money, people that WILL shoot you for wearing the wrong color T-Shirt)etc. I'll stop there because I tend to Psychobabble(LOL). Anyone complaining about the educational systems lack of communication has never dealt with a government funded public school whose main focus is sending your kid home alive. ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS HAS NEVER HAD TO LIVE WITH THEM. PLEASE DON'T COMMENT BACK THAT YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU, YOU DON'T. Palm Beach is an ok place to live, but they have a lot of the same problems. Needless

Tradition Area? - 10/30/2010
Can anyone tell me if Tradition area is any better than the rest of Pt. St. Lucie. Want to move there from CA, since it is much cheaper, but a bit fearful of the crime and rude

Taxes and Fees - 6/26/2010
Okay, yes, it is nice here. It "looks" nice here. If you move from the Palm Beach area, up to this area, yes, it is really nice to look at. But its skin deep. A lot of the people here are in a perpetual bad mood. I can't blame them. In order to look nice this city has taxed people to high hell. Its crazy! They just dropped the property tax but the auto insurance rates keep going up on everyone. Home owners insurance had near tripled since the hurricanes which is bull crud since our home never had any damage. We didn't make a claim and only lost one stinking shingle. O.o Yeah.. its nuts. And there are no jobs. None. We're number 4 in the national list of cities with high unemployment rates. 16% I think. Its not pretty. Boy, I tell you, I can not wait to move. its going to take me at least a year to get enough money to move but we'll get out of here some how. Oh, and if you require a community health center.. for the low income people? Don't come here. They don't have that unless you're

Port Saint Lucie 2010 - 4/30/2010
I have been visiting PSL for 26 years. I retired last year and my wife and I moved here from R.I. We haven't been to PSL in the last 3 years but we figured that it was the same as before. BOY WERE WE WRONG!!! We are sorry we settled here and cannot wait to sell our home (Purchased 1-15-10). The DMV has a new law that rapes all out of state people that move here that are getting their licenses and plate tags. The city Hall stinks, you need a permit for everything...including a yard sale. And changes like fencing, water heater, house painting screening your "Florida room"...get a permit. Any structual changes will cost you $500-$700 (Plus permit costs), because you have to have an engineer draft those plans up! The low-life that has moved into PSL are a mixture of thieves rapists child molesters and just punks breaking into cars or homes or selling drugs. PSL is following in the footsteps of Miami and West Palm....TOO MUCH CRIME! So, if you want to get ripped off by the criminals or

Living in Port St Lucie - 3/10/2010
I live in SW Port St Lucie - Zip code 34953. I moved here in 2000 and there is a lot of things I like and don't like . Moving from CT ....I love weather( but that is anywhere in South Florida). What I don't like is our local government trying to make PSL "perfect town" with code enforcement on every corner. Now, what I like the most......I am Real Estate Agent and I get asked this question every day and I can't answer it because of ethics- questions about crime. I hope I can say something about it here. Personally I think that there is no real crime in Port St Lucie and I know some people will not agree with me but that is my opinion.
