considering Portofino Shores in Ft. Pierce (Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie: section 8, foreclosures, renting)

[zipporahs]

We're currently living in Tradition (Port St. Lucie) and renting. We're looking at a house to purchase in Portofino Shores (Ft. Pierce). Can anyone give me a little insight into what the surrounding area offers as well as feedback from anyone who may live in the area (likes, dislikes, etc). When I drove out of the complex I didn't see much in the way of restaurants, stores, etc.

Thanks

Ahem... are you REALLY thinking of leaving our safe place here in Tradition for ....ahem.. Portofino Shores in Ft. Pierce??? Have you reallly investigated that area and who lives there aka section 8 and such? I mean, why would you leave here for ..there? Sorry, I just don't find a reason except if you like foreclosures and in the middle of nowhere...

ok.. yes I live here in Tradition in Heritage Oaks and I work in RE here in Tradition but personal opinion is what I am stating.. not anything else. Beware.....is all I am saying

Um, you already live in the area. Go to the sheriffs office and get a printout of the calls in the area for the last six months. Look at the paper. Ask the neighbors. you already live in the area, for pete's sake.
