How to Decide Between a Starter Home and a Forever Home
Starter home or forever home? Here's the thing — most buyers approach this question backward. They start by browsing listings and then try to figure out what they're actually looking for. But the starter-versus-forever decision really needs to come first, because it shapes everything: your budget,...

How to Assess Natural Light When Touring Homes
Natural light is one of those qualities that listing photos don't always capture accurately. A room that looks bright and airy in listing photos might tell a different story in person — and the reverse is just as true.

What Buyers Should Know About Flood Risk and Insurance
Flooding isn't usually top of mind when you're touring open houses. You're focused on countertops, closet space, and whether the backyard is big enough. Flood risk tends to sit near the bottom of the list—until it suddenly doesn't. Buyers who overlook it can face insurance costs they didn't anticipate,...

New S.R. A1A North Causeway Bridge Opening May 15, 2026 🚧

The City of Fort Pierce is pleased to share that the FDOT Southeast Florida will open the new S.R. A1A North Causeway Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway on Friday, May 15, 2026, by 8:00 a.m., weather permitting.

This new high-level fixed bridge replaces the existing drawbridge, providing a more reliable connection between S.R. A1A and U.S. 1/S.R. 5. The project represents a major investment in improving safety, enhancing infrastructure resiliency, and strengthening connectivity for residents, visitors, and marine traffic throughout St. Lucie County.

Key features include:
• One 12-foot travel lane in each direction
• Improved navigational clearance for marine traffic (85 ft vertical / 125 ft horizontal)
• Barrier-protected sidewalk and shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists
• Buffered bicycle lanes on both sides of the bridge
• New observation deck (opening at a later phase)

Additional improvements enhance access and connectivity along Old Dixie Highway, Juanita Avenue, and Sunny Lane, while also linking to the East Coast Greenway.

⚠️ Please note: At opening, some pedestrian and bicycle features, as well as the observation deck, will remain temporarily closed as construction continues. The existing drawbridge will be permanently closed and removed as part of the final phase of the project, with construction continuing through late 2027.

The City appreciates the community’s patience throughout this project and looks forward to the long-term benefits this improved infrastructure will provide.
