There are more than a few 55+ communities in the Brevard County Florida area. I have written several posts on my blogs (www.moving2brevard.blogspot.com) about the communities, specifically Heritage Isle, Grand Isle and Indian River Colony Club which are all located in the planned unit development of Viera.
One 55+ community I have not written about is Alamanda Key located in Melbourne, Florida. Alamanda Key is a very attractive community with Key West style homes.
All of the homes have metal roofs and most have front porches. The design is really a lot different than the previously mentioned 55+ communities.
Another feature is the narrow, long lots with double garages without a driveway. Almost resembling an alley, the homeowner pulls directly in the garage!
I have attached a few photos I took while visiting last weekend. By the way, plenty of new construction is available. You can even buy a lot with a grace period of 5 years for building. There are about 15 homes for sale in the development with prices ranging from $169,000 to about $299,000.
This development is not anything like Heritage Isle and has a character of its own. For information on Alamanda Key or any 55+ community in Brevard County, Florida, call me directly at 321-693-3850 or email me at agent@moving2brevard.com.
