Del Webb Tradition

Del Webb Tradition is an age-restricted, 55-plus, gated village developed by Del Webb, the active-adult brand of national homebuilder PulteGroup, within the much larger Tradition master-planned community in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County. The community broke ground in 2017 and is planned for 550 attached and single-family homes spread across 205 acres, with six distinct home designs available. Del Webb Tradition is a genuinely separate community from Vitalia at Tradition, another age-restricted community also situated within the broader Tradition master plan but developed independently; buyers researching either community should take care not to conflate facts, pricing, or amenities between the two given their similar naming and shared location within the same master plan. Housing at Del Webb Tradition spans two principal types: attached villas at approximately 1,579 square feet with 2-3 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, and single-family homes ranging from roughly 1,671 to 2,589 square feet, also with 2-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage. The community’s amenities include a resort-style pool, a clubhouse staffed with an on-site lifestyle director, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, pickleball courts, and a dog park, giving residents a well-rounded set of daily recreational options without needing to leave the gated village. HOA fee figures showed some disagreement across the sources reviewed for this research: one source dated July 2024 cites $497 to $531 per month, while another cites approximately $613 per month. No single authoritative current figure could be confirmed, so the range of roughly $497 to $613 per month should be treated as approximate; fees at communities still working through phased homeowner-association transitions often rise over time as more of the community turns over from builder to resident control, which may explain some of this variation. Del Webb Tradition sits within the broader Tradition master-planned community, which includes non-age-restricted neighborhoods, retail development, and Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital; specific CDD assessment details applicable to Del Webb’s own age-restricted village were not independently confirmed in this research and should be verified directly against St. Lucie County or the relevant CDD district’s records before purchasing. Healthcare access is a genuine strength of the Tradition location: Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, located at 10000 SW Innovation Way, is described as being within close proximity to Del Webb Tradition, with one source characterizing the distance as "within just a couple of miles," though this figure is approximate rather than a precisely confirmed mileage and residents should verify actual distance directly. For air travel, Palm Beach International Airport is cited as roughly a 45-minute drive south of Port St. Lucie, while the smaller, regional Treasure Coast International Airport in nearby Fort Pierce offers a closer, though less full-service, alternative; its specific distance from Del Webb Tradition was not found in this research. Del Webb Tradition’s position within the broader, well-established Tradition master plan gives residents genuine access to nearby retail, dining, and the significant medical infrastructure anchored by Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, a real advantage over more isolated age-restricted communities elsewhere on the Treasure Coast. Buyers comparing Del Webb Tradition against Vitalia at Tradition or other Port St. Lucie-area active-adult options should weigh the community’s smaller, 550-home scale and its specific amenity package against alternatives’ own distinct pricing and amenities. Del Webb Tradition’s location within the broader Tradition master plan is a genuine differentiator relative to more standalone active-adult communities elsewhere on the Treasure Coast: residents gain walkable or short-drive access to Tradition Square’s shops and restaurants, the area’s growing medical-office corridor anchored by Cleveland Clinic, and an expanding base of everyday retail as the broader master plan continues to build out around the age-restricted village. That ongoing growth is itself a trade-off worth weighing, since it also means continued nearby construction activity and evolving traffic patterns for a period of years as Tradition’s non-age-restricted neighborhoods and commercial areas mature. Buyers who prioritize being embedded within a larger, amenity-rich, mixed-use community rather than a more isolated, purely residential development may find Del Webb Tradition’s Port St. Lucie location a genuine advantage, particularly given the community’s reported proximity to Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, a meaningful consideration for retirees weighing long-term healthcare access alongside home price and lifestyle amenities, and one that genuinely distinguishes Tradition-area active-adult living from more isolated Treasure Coast alternatives situated farther from a full-service hospital facility. Prospective buyers should treat the HOA fee range and CDD details noted above as a starting point for direct verification with the community’s HOA rather than a final, settled figure, given the genuine spread identified across the sources consulted for this research.
