Florida cities rank among top 50 newest neighborhoods in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Port St. Lucie ranked among the top 50 newest neighborhoods in the United States, according to a new RentCafe study.<\/p>\n

RentCafe<\/a>, an apartment search website, released a report of the newest neighborhoods in the United States. The agency analyzed data across 32,400 zip codes nationwide.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the newest neighborhoods list, a zip code had to see at least a 51% increase in housing units between 2014 and 2023 and maintain an occupancy rate of 89.5% or higher.<\/p>\n

The agency looked at the following criteria for its rankings:<\/p>\n

Housing inventory in 2014<\/p>\n

Housing inventory in 2023<\/p>\n

Housing inventory % change<\/p>\n

Why did Southern Grove, Port St. Lucie rank among the top newest neighborhoods?<\/p>\n

The top 50 list includes four zip codes in Florida, with Port St. Lucie second highest after Ponte Vedra, which was ranked fifth nationally.<\/p>\n

Housing inventory in 2014: 3,117<\/p>\n

Housing inventory in 2023: 8,619<\/p>\n

Housing inventory % change: 177%<\/p>\n

Population in 2014: 6,297<\/p>\n

Population in 2023: 17,911<\/p>\n

Population % change: 184.4%<\/p>\n

In 2014, the area counted roughly 3,100 homes and apartments, but by 2023 the number had grown to more than 8,600. Today, 90.8% of the housing units are occupied.<\/p>\n
