PGA Verano · Port St. Lucie, FL
PGA Verano Homes for Sale
PGA Verano spans roughly 3,000 acres inside the larger PGA Village footprint on the west side of Port St. Lucie — large enough that it is entered through two separate gated checkpoints. Kolter Homes started building the community in the mid 2000s and is still releasing new floor plans today, so PGA Verano homes for sale now range from decades-old resale villas to houses that have not been lived in yet.
Marc McAteer tracks this community closely, including which sections carry age restrictions and which floor plans are still available direct from the builder. Contact Marc before your first builder or sales-center visit to ensure independent representation is available to you.
Community History
A Neighborhood That Kept Building for Almost Twenty Years
Construction at PGA Verano started in the mid 2000s and never really stopped, which means the housing stock reads less like one subdivision and more like a timeline. Walk a section built early on and you will find Bella and Dulce model homes — some untouched, some already renovated. Walk into Verano South and the floor plans look nothing like those older models: open-concept great rooms, taller ceilings, larger primary suites.
Most homes share the same core spec regardless of when they went up — concrete block construction, tile roofs, impact glass, and volume ceilings, a standard Kolter has held onto through every phase of the build-out. What changes is the layout, the finish level, and often the price.

New vs Resale
New Construction and Established Resales, Same Zip Code
A buyer can tour a decorated model straight from Kolter in the morning and walk through an established resale two streets over that same afternoon. That overlap keeps the price range wide — villas and condos have listed in the low to mid three hundreds, while larger new construction homes with lake or golf frontage have pushed past $800,000.
New Construction
Pick finishes before the house exists. Latest floor plans in Verano South with builder warranties. Lot premiums and upgrades on lake- or golf-frontage homes can push past $800K.
Established Resale
Shorter timeline to closing. Landscaping already filled in. Villas and condos from the low to mid $300s. Some homes feature owner-completed renovations and added upgrades.
Seeing more than one listing in person before deciding is the difference between judging PGA Verano fairly and judging a single house.

Recreation
One of South Florida's Largest Private Pickleball Setups
The outdoor amenities lean toward racquet sports in a way few communities in the area can match. Three pools round out the water side: a resort-style pool, an indoor lap pool for year-round swimming, and a separate resistance pool for lower-impact workouts.

Golf — Optional, Not Mandatory
Homeowners have access to the 54 holes at PGA Golf Club next door — designed by Tom Fazio and Pete Dye — plus the PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance. Membership is optional, so an occasional golfer is not paying club dues for rounds they never play.
Community Structure
Verano South, Cresswind, and the Patchwork Underneath the Master HOA
PGA Verano is a collection of pods and plats, several carrying their own smaller HOA rules layered under the master association. Only Cresswind is age-restricted — the rest carries no age restriction at all, which matters for a family shopping with kids still at home.

Location
The Commute and the Coastline
Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike are both close by, keeping a commute into Palm Beach County or up to Vero Beach reasonable for residents still working. The Atlantic beaches around Fort Pierce and Jensen Beach are close enough for a Saturday trip without eating the whole day.
Port St. Lucie's Botanical Gardens, Oak Hammock Park, and the Riverwalk Boardwalk sit a short drive away. PGA Verano gives up little on highway access while still functioning as a self-contained neighborhood once you are through the gates.

Buyer tip: Given how much home age and finish level can shift from one pod to the next, seeing more than one listing in person before deciding is the difference between judging PGA Verano fairly and judging a single house.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PGA Verano age restricted?
No, not as a whole. Most of PGA Verano is open to buyers of any age. Cresswind at Verano, a section within the community, is restricted to residents 55 and older, so age rules depend on which pod or plat a specific home sits in.
What amenities does PGA Verano have?
Residents have access to Club Talavera — a large clubhouse with a fitness center, yoga studio, arts and crafts room, card room, billiards room, and theater — along with 27 pickleball courts, 5 Har-Tru tennis courts, three pools, walking and biking trails, and optional access to the 54-hole PGA Golf Club courses next door.
Are there new construction homes available in PGA Verano?
Yes. Kolter Homes continues to build new floor plans in sections of the community, particularly in Verano South, alongside an active resale market in the earlier-built pods.
How much do PGA Verano homes for sale typically cost?
Pricing varies widely by home age, lot type, and upgrades. Villas and condos have listed in the low to mid three hundreds, while larger new construction homes with lake or golf views can reach into the eight-hundred-thousand-dollar range and above.
Is a golf membership required to live in PGA Verano?
No. Access to the PGA Golf Club courses is available to residents, but membership is optional rather than a mandatory part of homeownership or the HOA.

The Atlantic beaches around Fort Pierce and Jensen Beach are roughly a 20- to 30-minute drive, making PGA Verano workable as a full-time residence or a seasonal home for buyers who still want beach access.
