I had a caller a couple of days ago inquiring about the 55+ communities in Viera, Florida. Specifically he was asking about Heritage Isle and Indian River Colony Club. After a discussion about the monthly fees (about $300 in Heritage Isle. $800-$1,000 in IRCC) he decided that the fees were too high for his budget.
I then suggested he consider looking about 15 miles further south in the Melbourne, Florida area.
Specifically I suggested he consider my listing at 3613 Osceola Drive in the Melbourne gated 55+ community of Pine Creek.
This particular home is ideal for someone looking to retire to Florida or just become seasonal residents (snowbirds!).
It is a two bedroom two bath two car garage home is offered for only $195,000. The house next door just sold for $213,000.
The gated , very desirable Pine Creek community is located just off Eber Road and is only a short drive from major shopping ares as well as allowing easy access to I-95 and US1.
Within the community this home is close to the club house and community pool (across street about 200 ft away!) See on map at bottom of this post.
With association fees at $500 a quarter the lawn maintenance and exterior maintenance is included [REVIEW HOA DOCUMENTS TO VERIFY WHAT IS COVERED BY DUES].
This concrete block stucco home offers an open floor plan with high ceilings with 1,335 sq.ft. under air. With accordion style hurricane shutters all around (some electric) getting ready for the rare storm is no problem!
The best selling point for grabbing this home now is discussed in the article "Why buying the lowest priced home in the neighborhood is the smartest move!"
If you are looking for a home in a Melbourne, Florida 55+ community consider the reasons noted above and the recent sales... then call or text me at 321-693-3850.
