Port St. Lucie is best if…

Vero Beach is best if…
You want a smaller, quieter coastal-town feel with an arts scene.
The honest verdict
Port St. Lucie offers more choice: more 55+ communities, more new construction and the Tradition area. Vero Beach is smaller and calmer, with a beach-town feel and an arts scene. Prices vary widely by neighborhood in both, so compare current listings before you decide.
