Pulte has built in Tradition in Port St. Lucie, but this is their first move north into Fort Pierce. The site is off Okeechobee Road near Jenkins Road, just minutes from I-95 and Florida's Turnpike.
Homes will start in the low $400s, which puts Vela Cove among the more affordable new construction options from a national builder in the area. There's no CDD fee, which is a big plus compared to many newer Treasure Coast communities.
