How Much Does It Cost to Live in a 55+ Community in Florida?

When people start exploring 55+ living options, one of the first questions that comes to mind is, “How much is this going to cost?” At Encore at Tradition in Port St. Lucie, it’s hard to put a price tag on resort-style living.

The True Cost of 55+ Living in Florida

Sunshine and no state income tax make Florida a desirable place to live for active adults. However, housing costs can vary depending on whether you choose to buy or rent. Owning a home typically involves ongoing expenses, including property taxes, HOA fees, and unpredictable maintenance costs.

At Encore at Tradition, those worries disappear. Residents enjoy a predictable monthly rate that includes the peace of mind of maintenance-free living, resort-style amenities, and community activities that make each day something to look forward to.

Buying Versus Renting in Retirement

Buying a home may seem like a long-term investment, but many retirees are finding that renting offers more freedom and less stress. Renting in retirement can be a wise financial choice because it simplifies estate planning and provides residents with the flexibility to relocate when life changes.

At Encore, the monthly rent starts at $2,380 for a one-bedroom apartment. This includes access to amenities such as a resort-style pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and a full social calendar, all of which would cost much more to maintain individually as a homeowner.

There’s also no need to budget for unexpected costs, such as appliance repairs or property taxes. Encore’s transparent monthly pricing keeps everything predictable and straightforward, allowing residents to focus on enjoying life.

Every detail at Encore at Tradition is designed for comfort and connection. With endless activities, social events, clubs, and wellness programs, there’s always something that makes life here priceless.

Why Renting at Encore Makes Sense

When you compare Encore’s all-in pricing to the hidden expenses of homeownership, the value becomes clear. There’s no need to worry about fluctuating utility costs or costly repairs. Renting offers both financial predictability and lifestyle flexibility, which appeals to many who are ready to simplify without sacrificing their joy.
