Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tidewater a gated community?

Yes. All 67 recent listings describe Tidewater as gated, and builder listings repeat it in their descriptions. A few listings mention phone entry at the gate. Ask the association how guest access and deliveries work, and whether any gate fees are included in the monthly assessment.

Who built Tidewater?

Listings name Meritage Homes as the builder. Homes in recent listings were built from 2024 into 2026, and builder listings describe all-block construction, impact glass windows and spray foam insulation as standard features. Plan names in listings include the Sandpiper, among others. Builder listings also mention granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, smart home technology and a 60-day closing guarantee on homes that were ready to move into.

What do townhomes in Tidewater sell for?

Sixty homes closed between July 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $269,000 to $354,000. The median sale was $302,311, or about $189 a square foot. The 1,808 square foot plan closed between $315,000 and $344,540, and the 1,485 square foot plan between $278,000 and $299,632.

What are the HOA fees in Tidewater?

Listings show $155 to $162 a month. The fee covers common areas and grounds maintenance, and about half the listings also include pest control. Water, cable and internet are included in only a few listings, so budget for them separately and ask the association for its current budget.

What floor plans are in Tidewater?

Every recent listing is a two-story, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome of about 1,485 or 1,808 square feet. Most have an upstairs loft. Forty of 67 listings show a one-car garage and 27 show two, so confirm the garage size of the specific home you are considering. The larger plan adds about 320 square feet, mostly in the living areas and loft, and it has consistently closed for more than the smaller plan.

Can you rent out a townhome in Tidewater?

Some listings say leasing is allowed, but 31 note rental restrictions and 10 bar short-term rentals. Rentals that came up asked $2,298 to $2,600 a month, with a median of $2,550. Get the current minimum lease term from the association before buying with rental income in mind.

Are pets allowed in Tidewater?

Yes, according to 58 listings, and most of those show no stated pet restrictions. Nine listings say no pets, so the rule may have changed over time or differ in how agents entered it. Confirm the current pet rules with the association before you buy, and ask about any limits on size, breed or the number of pets per home.

What schools serve Tidewater?

Most current MLS listings show Savanna Ridge Elementary, Northport K-8 and Port St. Lucie High, while one shows Southern Oaks Middle and Fort Pierce Central High. Because of that split and the Fort Pierce address, confirm the assignment for a specific home with St. Lucie County Public Schools.

Is Tidewater a gated community?

Yes. Tidewater is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.

About Tidewater

Tidewater, Fort Pierce, FL, is a new construction community in St. Lucie County. Tidewater is a gated community in Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County, Florida. Active listings are priced from $280,000 to $362,030. Homes were built between 2024 and 2026. Pure Equity lists homes in Tidewater and represents buyers. Commission is negotiable, and what we are paid is agreed with you in writing before you commit to anything.

Tidewater is a gated townhome community in Fort Pierce, built from 2024 into 2026 along a single loop road, Salisbury Circle. Listings name Meritage Homes as the builder. Every home in recent listings is a two-story, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome in one of two sizes, about 1,485 or 1,808 square feet, on a lot of about 0.04 acres. Listings describe block construction, impact glass and spray foam insulation as standard, and residents share a private pool and cabana. Tidewater has been selling quickly, and almost everything that closed in the past year was new construction, which changes how a resale owner should think about price.

Sixty homes closed between July 2025 and early October 2026, at prices from $269,000 to $354,000. The median sale was $302,311, or about $189 a square foot, and closed prices ran from $172 to $215 a square foot. The median home took 57 days from listing to closing, and the median sale came in at 100 percent of list price. The 1,808 square foot plan closed between $315,000 and $344,540 in recent months, and the 1,485 square foot plan closed between $278,000 and $299,632. Several closed a little above their list price, including one at $341,358 against a $329,990 list.

Those figures need one caution. Nearly all of the closings were builder sales, and in new construction a closing above list usually reflects options added after the listing went up. The 100 percent sale-to-list figure describes the builder's pricing, not what a resale will get. An owner reselling here competes with the builder's own offer, which listings describe as below-market financing rates, incentives, included appliances and blinds, and a guaranteed closing within 60 days. A resale buyer will weigh all of that against your price.

For a resale owner, the strongest pitch is what a new build cannot match: a home that is finished, furnished with window coverings and appliances, settled in, and available now. One 1,486 square foot home built in 2024 closed at $278,000 in July 2026, near the low end of the range for its size, which shows what an older resale faces against new inventory. Price within the range of recent closings for your plan, and point out what you added, such as a screened patio, smart home upgrades or a lake view. We also check what the builder has ready to close before setting a resale price.

Supply is tight at the moment. One home was listed for sale at the time of writing, a 1,808 square foot townhome at $349,930, and six more were under contract. Builder releases can change that quickly. When the builder has finished homes ready to close, resale buyers expect a discount from the new price. When it does not, a well-kept resale can compete on equal terms and sometimes win on timing. A seller should check the builder's current inventory and incentives in the same week the listing goes live, and adjust if a new phase opens.

Choosing between the two plans comes down to space and budget. The 1,808 square foot plan adds about 320 square feet over the 1,485 square foot plan, and recent closings for the larger plan ran from $315,000 to $344,540, against $278,000 to $299,632 for the smaller one. Both have three bedrooms and two and a half baths, so the extra room goes into the living areas, the loft and storage. Garage size varies, with some homes showing one bay and others two, so check the specific home. Lake-facing homes are the other variable buyers weigh. Eighteen listings describe lakefront homes, and for a resale, a lake view is one of the few things that sets one Tidewater home apart from its neighbors, so state it plainly.

For buyers, the product is simple and consistent. All homes are two-story townhomes with three bedrooms, two and a half baths and an upstairs loft that many owners use as an office or game room. Forty of 67 listings show a one-car garage and 27 show two. Listings describe quartz or granite counters, stainless appliances, smart home features and a washer and dryer included. Eighteen listings describe lakefront homes, and others face common areas or neighboring buildings. Public water and sewer serve the community. Two listings show a private pool, but most owners use the shared pool.

The association fee is low. Listings show $155 to $162 a month, and it covers common areas, grounds maintenance and, in about half the listings, pest control. Water and cable appear in only a few listings, so budget utilities separately. Leasing is allowed in some listings, but 31 note rental restrictions and 10 bar short-term rentals, so confirm the minimum lease term before buying as an investment. Rentals that came up asked $2,298 to $2,600 a month, with a median of $2,550. Pets are allowed according to 58 listings, most with no stated restrictions, while 9 listings say no pets.

Tidewater fits buyers who want a new, gated townhome with low association costs and an easy drive to I-95 and downtown Fort Pierce, as listings describe it. The shared amenity named in nearly every listing is the pool and cabana. Current MLS listings show most homes zoned for Savanna Ridge Elementary, Northport K-8 and Port St. Lucie High, which surprises some buyers given the Fort Pierce address, so confirm the assignment with St. Lucie County Public Schools. For sellers, the job is to price against the builder's current offer, not just against past closings.

Market & Value

Tidewater market and home values

Values in Tidewater track the community's own sales more closely than any broad regional number. Because inventory turns over as homes list and close, the most reliable read on Tidewater is the set of most recent comparable sales inside the community rather than a single posted figure. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within Tidewater carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in Tidewater so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.

Is Tidewater right for you?

Tidewater works well for families and professionals who want the security and quieter streets of a gated community, often near the schools, shopping, and commuting routes of Fort Pierce.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Living in Tidewater

Life in Tidewater is low maintenance. The association handles common areas and grounds, and residents share a private swimming pool and cabana, which listings name as the community's main amenity. Sidewalks run through much of the community. Homes are built with efficiency in mind, with spray foam insulation, multispeed air conditioning and impact glass described in listings, which helps with comfort and cooling costs in summer. The upstairs loft serves many owners as a home office or game room. Some homes back onto a lake. Listings describe the community as minutes from I-95 and downtown Fort Pierce, so errands and commutes are straightforward for most owners.

Location

Tidewater location

Tidewater is in Fort Pierce, zip code 34982, in St. Lucie County. Every home sits on Salisbury Circle, inside a gated entrance. Listings describe the community as minutes from I-95 and downtown Fort Pierce. Current MLS listings show most homes zoned for Savanna Ridge Elementary, Northport K-8 and Port St. Lucie High, with one listing showing Southern Oaks Middle and Fort Pierce Central High. Because those assignments differ, confirm the school for a specific address with St. Lucie County Public Schools before you buy.

Buying in Tidewater

Buying a home in Tidewater

Buying in Tidewater follows the same path as the rest of St. Lucie County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in St. Lucie County is about $2,893. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Fort Pierce means you see new listings in Tidewater the day they reach the market.

Selling in Tidewater

Selling a home in Tidewater

A successful sale in Tidewater comes down to pricing, presentation, and marketing. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Tidewater owners in Fort Pierce, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
