34986 Tradition:
Port St. Lucie's Master-Planned Heartbeat, Village by Village.

The 34986 ZIP code covers the western portion of Port St. Lucie, in St. Lucie County, Florida — generally bounded by I-95 to the east, the Florida Turnpike approach and preserve land to the west, the Martin County line to the south, and the St. Lucie West / Crosstown Parkway corridor to the north. The ZIP sits entirely within Port St. Lucie city limits.

Key roads through 34986 include Tradition Parkway (the primary I-95 interchange), Becker Road, Village Parkway, and Crosstown Parkway as it connects east toward US-1 and the river. The Florida Turnpike entrance is accessible via Becker Road in roughly ten minutes from most Tradition villages, and Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, the Florida Center for Bio-Sciences, and Torrey Pines Institute anchor the eastern edge of the ZIP near I-95.

34986 is the premier new-construction ZIP in Port St. Lucie. Where 34953 is filled with 1990s–2010s quarter-acre resale streets and 34952 covers older eastern PSL near the river, 34986 is where active builders — Mattamy Homes, GL Homes, Lennar, Pulte, and Kolter — are still moving model homes inside the Tradition master plan.

Inside 34986 you'll find new-construction single-family across Telaro, Manderlie, Bonaire, and Mattamy's active villages; resale single-family in Bedford Park, Heritage Oaks, and the original Cascades phases; townhomes and paired villas in newer Tradition villages; and age-restricted product at Vitalia and Bonaire. Most parcels in Tradition carry both an HOA fee and a Community Development District (CDD) assessment — that's a normal feature of the master plan and something we walk through with every buyer before they write an offer.

Tier price ranges are editorial estimates by community type and are distinct from the live, ZIP-wide market snapshot below.
