Colonnades at Fort Pierce sits right on the waterfront as a 55+ condo community where folks can enjoy resort-style living without the fuss of yard work or outside chores because the homeowners' association takes care of all that, along with services like trash removal, water, and recreational amenities, so residents can spend their time how they want. The place has 250 condos, all available through resale, and floor plans run between about 564 and 1,316 square feet, offering one or two bedrooms and bathrooms, most with modern touches like granite countertops, tile floors, updated kitchens, and enclosed porches, plus assigned parking, Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchenettes, and even the comfort of air conditioning. Residents can use the Olympic-style pool, tennis, bocce ball, and shuffleboard courts, as well as a clubhouse that offers a library on the honor system, kitchen, pool tables, and rooms for games, billiards, and social gatherings, making it easy to stay busy or connect with neighbors, and there's even a sauna and quiet spaces for folks who want to relax.
There's a real sense of community, with clubs like Bridge Club, Mexican Trains, Mahjong, Book Club, and Men's Night, and scheduled activities happen every day, so there's almost always something going on, and people can walk or bike on the trails or sit by the water on the dock, maybe use a boat slip or boat storage if they enjoy getting out on the water, since the docks overlook Faber Cove and the Indian River, which gives it a nice view and chances for boating or fishing. There's a no-pet policy, so the whole environment stays quiet and peaceful, and around the community, one'll find recycling bins and thoughtful touches throughout for a tidy, well-kept feel.
For seniors looking for different levels of care, Colonnades at Fort Pierce offers independent living if people want a more hands-off, active lifestyle, assisted living for those needing more help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or managing medicine, respite care for short stays, and special memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, where safety and structured activities help reduce confusion and prevent wandering. Staff are known to be helpful and kind, and care is arranged around each person's needs, with 24-hour call systems, supervision, and support for non-ambulatory residents to keep everyone safe and comfortable, plus health and wellness programs, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and concierge services.
Meals are served restaurant-style with balanced options, including allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly choices, so people don't have to worry about cooking unless they want to, and families can get support during the move-in process with plenty of information and advice, even a brochure and an advisor to explain senior living options without pressure. The residents often say the place is joyful, welcoming, and friendly, which lines up with community awards like Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly, reflecting the attention given to engagement through social, physical, mental, and emotional activities so everyone feels included.
