Tradition, St. Lucie County
Planned for the next twenty years.
In Vitalia and Del Webb Tradition, a walk-in shower is usually about getting in and out safely for a long time. That means a low or no curb, a bench at the right height, a handheld on a slide bar, and blocking in the walls so grab bars can go up later without cutting tile.
A clean design does all of that without the room looking like a hospital: matte black or brushed brass, large tile, frameless glass.
Tradition was a cattle ranch west of I-95 until Town Hall and Town Square opened in April 2003, and Mattamy Homes took over as master developer in 2018. Most homes come from national production builders, from the first 2004 and 2005 neighborhoods to new phases still going up. The early homes are now 20 years old, and many still have their original builder baths.

Before you remodel
What to know in Tradition.
Permits
City of Port St. Lucie Building Department
Tradition is inside Port St. Lucie city limits, so the city's Building Department issues permits, not St. Lucie County. Your neighborhood HOA handles its own approvals separately.
Permit officePermits come from the City of Port St. Lucie, not Tradition and not the county.
Florida Statute 720.3035 keeps HOAs out of interior changes not visible from outside, so a bath or kitchen gut usually skips architectural review. Exterior work does not.
Vitalia and Del Webb Tradition are 55+ neighborhoods, where curbless showers, wider entries and grab-bar backing come up early in planning.
Gated neighborhoods need contractor names on the gate list before day one, so set that up when the schedule is set.

How it works
You always know which step you’re on.
Consult
We walk the room with you, measure, and hear what isn’t working in it today.
Design & selections
Layout, tile, fixtures and finishes chosen together, with samples in your light and a price in writing before anything starts.
Schedule
A start date and the order of work, so you know which week the bathroom is out.
Build
Demo to grout. Each layer gets checked before the next one covers it.
Walkthrough
We walk it with you, grout line by grout line, before we call it done.
Can a shower be curbless in a Tradition home?
Often, on a slab where the floor can be recessed for the slope. We check at the consultation. Where it can't, a low curb under two inches steps in nearly as easily.
Who issues permits in Tradition?
The City of Port St. Lucie Building Department. Tradition is a master-planned community inside the city, and applications go through the city's online portal.
Does the Tradition HOA need to approve my bathroom remodel?
Not if the work is all inside. Since July 2024, Florida law bars HOAs from limiting interior changes that can't be seen from the street, a neighbor, common area or golf course. Anything on the outside, like a window or vent change, still goes to architectural review.
My Tradition home is 20 years old. Is it worth replacing the builder bath?
The first neighborhoods went up in 2004 and 2005, so those baths are at the age where grout, caulk and original fixtures wear out. A remodel lets you fix the layout at the same time instead of patching it.
Light, built in
The glow is part of the tile plan.
Lit niches, floating vanities with light underneath, mirrors that glow from behind. It shows up in our favorite rooms because it gets drawn into the tile layout, not added after the wall is done.
Details, close up
