The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | The current owner's bill is $1,827/yr per the MLS listing record (TaxAnnualAmount, 2026-11-03). Florida reassesses at sale, so a buyer's first bill is usually higher than the seller's; the county millage here is not verified, so no reset figure is printed. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | $356/month per the listing record. Dues cover what the association documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study before you close. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Saint Lucie County is $2,332/yr (2,890 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $2,000–$4,000/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone X, outside the high-risk zone; flood insurance is optional but most lenders and insurers recommend it. Statewide, a zone X flood policy runs about $500–$700/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote). |
| Roof and age | Built in 2005. An original roof would be about 21 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $703/month (tax $152, HOA $356, insurance $194). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

Commissioners voted to end the contract with Martin County Transit and negotiate a one-year emergency agreement with MTM Transit after service stopped suddenly the prior week. County staff hoped to restart service within about a week.
Why it matters: Affects county-wide bus access and commute options until service resumes. The site is about 11 miles southeast of Tradition.
On Oct. 12 the Port St. Lucie City Council approved three site plans in Southern Grove: a 163,000 sq ft Costco, a 5.5-acre first phase of the Tradition Entertainment District with restaurants and retail, and a 42-bed rehabilitation hospital. Costco still must close on the land and obtain permits before building.
Why it matters: Adds a warehouse retailer, dining and inpatient rehab care to the western Port St. Lucie jobs corridor, shortening shopping and medical trips for nearby addresses. The site is about 1 mile northwest of Tradition.
The Planning and Zoning Board took up a rezoning of nearly 360 acres of agricultural land north of SW Becker Road, between SW Sundance Vista Boulevard and Rangeline Road, to a master planned unit development. The concept plan allows up to 1,200 homes plus parks, lakes and clubhouses. City Council would vote later in October.
Why it matters: Up to 1,200 new homes in western Port St. Lucie would add housing supply and increase traffic demand on Becker Road. The site is less than a mile northwest of Tradition.
St. Lucie Public Schools broke ground on July 28, 2026 on a 70 million dollar K-8 school behind Dan McCarty Middle School in Fort Pierce, with capacity for 1,500 to 1,800 students and completion expected in August 2028. The school will consolidate Dan McCarty Middle, St. Lucie Elementary, and Lawnwood Elementary, all built in the 1950s and 1960s. The district plans to sell the three existing school properties to offset costs.
Why it matters: The consolidated campus adds modern school capacity in northern Fort Pierce and frees three older school sites for potential reuse. The project is about 13 miles north of Tradition, elsewhere in St. Lucie County.

Per the listing record, 12409 SW Keating Drive was built in 2005 and has 2,000 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
12409 SW Keating Drive is in Tradition Plat No 16 in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
The listing reports HOA dues of $356 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
The estimate on this page (about $5,870 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
