Port Saint Lucie, FL is a fantastic place to live and raise kids! It is just large enought that there is things to do, but not too large. During the snow bird months it does get a little busy with traffic but that's ok. Local contractors are great! We use bestchoicelawnserviceportsaintlucie.com for our lawn guys. They are super helpful and trustworthy! Come check out all that PSL has for you!
I absolutely love living in Port St Lucie. This area is very quiet and peaceful. We have pretty decent public schools. I most enjoy the charter schools. Port St Lucie is a great family friendly place to live. We don't have many crimes that are reported and for the most part pretty friendly neighbors. This area is also very affordable with minimum night life. If your looking for a quiet and friendly environment to raise your children, then Port St Lucie is the place for you!
What I like about PSL: its close to the beach, its 20 mins to Fort Pierce or 20 mins to Stuart, the parks and outdoor activities, the farmers markets and craft fairs, the outdoor restaurants, the people, most of the grocery stores around, the cost of gas, groceries, the gyms, the college IRSC, job opportunities for someone in their early 20's with little job experience, like myself.
What I dislike: the horrible chain restaurants that surround the town (chillys, olive garden, longhorn steakhouse). The large amount of fast food places that also surround the town. We do not have any local tasty cooking places around here, mostly chain restaurants or fast food joints. It would be nice to see something new be built, instead of another Burger King.. Also, there is absolutely no night life here at all. Most places are closed by 10 pm. Also, why don't we have a whole foods grocery store or trader joe's?!?!? Dying to have one of those around here!
