Vela Cove
Homes for Sale in Fort Pierce, FL

Vela Cove is a coming-soon single-family community by Pulte Homes in Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County (ZIP 34947). Public records and builder announcements describe roughly 239 homesites on an approximately 50-acre site at 2721 South Jenkins Road, near Okeechobee Road and Jenkins Road, with quick access to Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike. It is Pulte's first community in Fort Pierce. Builder materials describe three- to five-bedroom plans of about 1,300 to 1,900 square feet with two baths and two-car garages, and planned amenities including parks and a pool with cabanas, with lawn care and internet included. Land development was expected to begin in summer 2026 and sales in early 2027. There are no listings and no recorded resale history yet, so this page tracks the launch rather than a pricing picture.

The detail that makes Vela Cove worth a page is that it marks Pulte's entry into Fort Pierce. Pulte assembled a roughly 50-acre parcel at 2721 South Jenkins Road for $16.3 million and plans about 239 single-family homes on it. The plans skew to the entry and mid tiers — roughly 1,300 to 1,900 square feet, three to five bedrooms, two baths, two-car garages — with prices signaled from under $450,000 to under $600,000. That positions Vela Cove as a comparatively attainable new-construction option relative to the master-planned pricing to the south in Port St. Lucie.

The location leans on highway access. The site sits near Okeechobee Road and Jenkins Road, minutes from Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike, which puts West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, and Vero Beach within commuting range. Pulte's announced amenity package — parks and a pool with cabanas, plus included lawn care and internet — is modest but concrete, and unusual in that maintenance and connectivity are bundled.

The open questions at this stage are timing and cost structure. Sales were not expected to open until early 2027, and the HOA fee and any Community Development District (CDD) assessment were unpublished at discovery. Those should be confirmed from recorded documents rather than a sales-office estimate before any deposit. Homesite count has been reported at both about 239 and about 244; treat the final figure as subject to platting.

For a community this early — land purchased, sales more than a year out — the value of a local agent is timing. We can get you onto the Vela Cove interest list now so you see base pricing and lot releases the day they post, well ahead of the early-2027 sales opening, rather than after the best homesites are gone.

We also read the fine print buyers often miss on new construction — the HOA budget, any CDD assessment, and how builder incentives and the included lawn-and-internet package are structured — so the monthly cost you underwrite is the real one, not the sticker.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
