The Landing at Tradition is a large open-air shopping center in Port St. Lucie. It has stores like Target, Old Navy, Bass Pro Shops and DSW. Publix sits nearby at Tradition Square, and Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital is close by for medical needs. If you live at Central Park Townhomes, most of your weekly errands stay inside the Tradition area.

This guide shows what is at The Landing, where to buy groceries, and where to go when you need a doctor. It also lists the roads that connect you to each stop.

What Is The Landing at Tradition?

The Landing at Tradition is an open-air center. That means the shops face a walkway outside, not a hallway inside a mall. You park, then walk from store to store in the open air.

According to Visit St. Lucie, the center is about 600,000 square feet. That is a lot of space. Think of it as a small town made of stores.

Stores named by Visit St. Lucie include:

  • Target

  • Old Navy

  • Bass Pro Shops

  • DSW

Stores open and close over time. Before you plan a trip around one store, check that it is still there. A quick look at the store's own page or a phone call will do it.

What You Can Buy There

The Landing covers many kinds of shopping. Here is how a family might use it.

Everyday household items

Target is a big store that sells many things in one place. You can find home goods, clothes and basics. This makes it a good stop when you move into a new home and need small things fast.

Think about the first month in a new townhome. You may need a shower curtain, trash cans, cleaning supplies and storage bins. One trip to a store like Target can cover a lot of that list.

Clothes and shoes

Old Navy is known for family clothes. DSW is a shoe store. Between the two, you can handle back-to-school shopping or a wardrobe refresh without driving across the county.

Outdoor gear

Bass Pro Shops sells fishing, camping and outdoor gear. If you like to fish, this store is a useful stop. Florida has plenty of water, so many buyers like having gear close to home.

Groceries: Publix at Tradition Square

Grocery shopping is a different trip from shopping at The Landing. For groceries, the Publix at Tradition Square is the anchor. The address is 10400 SW Village Center Dr, Port St. Lucie, FL 34987.

Tradition Square is a town-center style area. It is a separate stop from The Landing. That is helpful. You can pick up milk and dinner supplies without walking a huge shopping center.

The Sunday Green Market

Visit St. Lucie says Tradition Square hosts a Sunday Green Market. A green market is an outdoor market where sellers set up stands. Markets change their schedules, so check before you go.

Healthcare Close to Home

Buyers often ask one question that has nothing to do with shopping. Where is the nearest hospital?

Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital is at 10000 SW Innovation Way, Port St. Lucie, FL 34987. It has a 24-hour emergency room. That means you can walk in at any hour.

You should still confirm which doctors and services are there before you rely on them. Your health plan may also affect where you can go. Ask your insurance company which offices are in your plan.

Want to See the Homes?

Seeing where you will shop is only part of the picture. The homes matter too. Central Park Townhomes by D.R. Horton has two floor plans, the Glen and the Vale. Both are two-story townhomes with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

A store like Target can cover a lot of this in one stop. Groceries come from Publix. If you like a hobby that needs gear, Bass Pro Shops is there too. You do not need to plan every stop. Just know that the main shops are all in the Tradition area, and the roads to reach them are easy to name.

Keep receipts for big items, and read any store's return rules before you buy. Rules differ from store to store.

What to Do on Your First Visit

If you are touring homes, add a shopping stop to the day. Walk The Landing for an hour and see how it feels. Grab a coffee. Look at how the parking works. Then stop by Tradition Square and see the Publix.

A tour of the homes gives you the floor plan. A walk through the shops gives you the daily feel. You need both to decide if a place is right for you.

Fitting Errands Into a Weekly Routine

Here is one way a busy family could plan a week. You do not have to copy it. It just shows how close everything can feel.

Monday evening, stop at Publix for the week's groceries. Saturday morning, walk The Landing for shoes and clothes. Sunday, check whether the Green Market is running. If someone gets sick, you know where the 24-hour emergency room is.

Nothing here is a promise about how long any trip takes. Traffic and time of day change every trip. What stays the same is the road names, so you can plan by the roads.

If your errands include time outdoors, Port St. Lucie has many public parks. Our list of parks in Port St. Lucie for families has ideas for weekends. For the bigger picture, our Tradition, Port St. Lucie living guide covers daily life in the area.
