Thrive: Staying Active and Connected After 55

Reaching your mid-50s often sparks an important question. What do you want this next chapter to feel like?

For some, it means enjoying the freedom of retirement. For others, it means balancing work with flexibility and fulfillment. No matter which phase of life you find yourself in, one thing remains essential: staying socially connected. Community plays a powerful role in how we feel, how we age, and how much we enjoy each day.

At Encore at Tradition, we believe thriving after 55 is about enjoying an active lifestyle in a community designed to support how you want to live.

Wellness That Supports Every Part of Life

Thriving after 55 looks different for everyone, which is why we take a holistic approach to wellbeing. Physical wellness is supported through our modern fitness center, Zumba, pickleball, swimming, and scenic walking paths.

Mental and emotional wellness are just as important. We offer quiet spaces for meditation and moments to unwind and reset. Social wellness grows through shared experiences like happy hours, movie nights, and restaurant excursions that make it easy to connect.

Together, these amenities and social gatherings support how community living improves mental health by blending activity, relaxation, and connection into everyday life.

Connection Beyond Your Front Door

Our community is located in Tradition in Port St. Lucie, a popular Florida retirement destination where people enjoy an active, welcoming lifestyle. The area has a friendly energy that makes exploring the neighborhood enjoyable, whether it’s a walk through the streets or a stop for coffee.
