bagging it and moving to FL?
river and on the shore... I don't know how that works geographically,
The *river* is the Indian River, aka the Intracoastal Waterway. There is also the St. Lucie River, which has lots of tributaries. It gets kind of confusing. Yes, you can get to one from the other. When you see *river* in Port St. Lucie real estate ads, they mean the St. Lucie River, because Port St. Lucie doesn't abut the Intracoastal. This city is quite young, and was originally built by GDC for retirees, with little houses. Those original areas are giving way to commercial development, and PSL is not even close to being a retirement community. We wouldn't have come here if it was. PSL has been the fastest growing city in the nation. There have been growing pains; city *leaders* are not big enough people to deal with what PSL is becoming. They are unsophisticated people with access to tax revenues. Very dangerous combination. Very upscale housing has come in, we've got a biomed corridor on the drawing board. A company is coming in from CA (Torrey Pines) and more will follow. Compared to CA, PSL is very affordable. But since we moved here in 1999, housing prices have essentially tripled, except in the old areas. There's a little slump right now, but it will pick up again. My son lives in Palm Beach Gardens (40 minutes south) and has a small, older three bedroom, one bath house with a carport. It's worth about the same as ours, and we have 2K sf, a canal behind us, a pool, glass everywhere, etc. So this is a good investment area. Palm Beachers and Miamians cash in and come up here. That pushes prices up. Am I a whiney Californian or what? *G* Absolutely! Very Left Coast! LOL! Diana |
