Live Local Apartments in Port St. Lucie
Love where you live, with fair, attainable rents through Florida's Live Local program.
What is the Live Local Program?
Live Local at The Atlantic Palms at Tradition
The Live Local Act is a Florida law that promotes housing stability and affordability, pairing fair rents with what our communities need for the long term. It was created to help households and essential workers, such as teachers, nurses, police officers and service workers, afford to live in the communities where they work. At a limited number of apartment homes are set aside for income-qualified households at attainable Live Local rents. You get the same home, the same resort-style amenities and the same friendly team. Only the rent is different.
Eligibility is based on household income, not occupation. Income from retirement, disability or other benefits counts too.
Program Eligibility
Qualifying is simpler than you might think. If your household's total income is at or below the program limit for its size, and you meet our standard rental criteria, you may be eligible. Wages, retirement, disability and other benefits all count. We'll walk you through it.
What You Get
Who May Qualify
Live Local homes are for income-qualified households. Your household may qualify when it:
- Has a total annual income, for all household members and calculated under program rules, at or below the limit for its size
- Meets our standard rental qualifying policies: income, credit, rental history and criminal background screening
- Can provide documents to verify household income
- Leases a designated Live Local home
Income may come from wages, self-employment, retirement, disability or other benefits.
