Veranda Gardens in Port St. Lucie: A 2026 Guide to DiVosta’s Gated Neighborhood on Becker Road
Quick answer: Veranda Gardens is a gated, all-ages DiVosta community on Becker Road in southern Port St. Lucie, a half mile east of the Turnpike and I-95. It has about 720 single-family homes built from 2014 on, two amenity centers with pools, and no golf or club dues. The builder sold out in April 2025, so everything now is resale. Recent listings ran from roughly the high $300,000s to about $800,000.
Veranda Gardens is one of those communities that doesn't get talked about as much as Tradition or Verano because there's no golf course and no builder marketing anymore. DiVosta finished selling in the spring of 2025. What's left is a quiet, well-built neighborhood with a solid amenity setup and a monthly fee that doesn't make people wince. For a lot of buyers, that's exactly the point.

What's inside the gate
Two amenity centers, which is more than most communities this size. Between them you get two pools including a lap pool, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball, bocce, a dog park, a tot lot, a community room with a catering kitchen, and the outdoor bar and fire pit area that shows up in every listing photo. There's an activity director, walking paths, and a lot of lake and pond frontage. Homes were built with natural gas and fiber internet, which is not a given in Port St. Lucie.
The Shoppes at Veranda Falls, with a Publix, are right there on Becker. The beach is under ten miles. Tradition's town center, Clover Park and Treasure Coast Square are all within an easy drive.
The homes
DiVosta built two lines here. The Classic series ran about 1,430 to 1,970 square feet and the Estate series about 2,380 to 2,590, with a few larger plans and some two-story homes mixed in. Resale listings show sizes from about 1,850 up to 4,280 square feet, so there's more variety than the original brochure suggests. Two to five bedrooms.
New builds carried DiVosta's 10-year structural warranty. Resales may or may not, depending on the transfer terms, so ask for the paperwork. I couldn't find a source confirming whether these are concrete block or frame, which is worth knowing for insurance quotes. Any good inspector will tell you in the first five minutes.
Fees and prices
HOA fees vary by section and home size. There is an HOA fee, and it varies by section and home size. That covers lawn care, irrigation, the gate, common areas and the amenity centers. No club dues, because there's no club.
One thing I want to flag honestly: one 55+ information site says Veranda Gardens is supported by CDD fees, while the HOA pages and every brokerage page I checked describe only the HOA fee. The Veranda CDD that does exist covers a larger area and doesn't name Veranda Gardens. So it's unresolved. Have your title company pull the actual tax bill on the lot you're considering. Ten minutes of work, and it settles the question for that house.
On price, the launch-era figures of $255,000 to $325,000 you'll still find on old pages are long gone. Current resale snapshots show the high $300,000s to about $800,000, with the middle of the market around $470,000 to $515,000. That puts Veranda Gardens a step below Verano on price for a similar-age home, mostly because you're not paying for a golf course you may not use.
Who it suits
Resident reviews describe a mix of young families and seniors, and brokers say the same: retirees and seasonal owners who want lawn care handled and a single-story plan, alongside working families who want the pool and the dog park. It's a low-maintenance neighborhood without the club culture, which is either the whole appeal or the deal-breaker depending on who you are.
