In Melbourne, Florida's planned unit development of Viera, you will find the choice of several 55+ communities.
On the west side of I-95 is Heritage Isle with its continuing new development and impressive facilities.
Many times the
"forgotten" 55+ community in Viera East is Grand Isle.

"forgotten" 55+ community in Viera East is Grand Isle.Grand Isle is a gated community providing its residents with the Florida lifestyle including a very nice clubhouse/rec room , community pool , exercise room , hot tub/spa , jogging trail , shuffleboard , tennis courts and more. Of course, Grand Isle offers exterior/lawn maintenance.
Grand Isle is not as large as its younger sibling, Heritage Isle. Both were developed by developer/builder Lennar Homes.
As of today there are 8 active listings in Grand Isle ranging from $160,000 for a 2 bedroom 2 bath single family home to about $320,000 for a 4 bedroom 3 bath home.

In the past six weeks 5 properties have gone under contract with another two deals closed. Not bad for a small 55+ community with limited properties for sale! The two that closed sold for $180,000 and $243,000, very reasonable in this market.

Hi Gary
Sounds like Grand Isle Viera's is an outstanding 55+ community to call home and enjoy.
Good luck and success.

Lou - Thanks a bunch.
Sounds like a very desirable place. I'd like to see it when I visit next winter. Not for me, but for any future clients that might be interested in moving to the Sunshine state.
Ken - Thanks, come on down!
Hi Gary, I hope that you are doing well. Grand Isle and Heritage Isles are both beautiful communities right here in Brevard County. They are two excellent areas to live in.
Hi Gary,
Good to know the Melbourne area is getting more properties like this. My mother-in-law moved up here from Indian Harbor Beach about four years ago after being very disappointed in what was offered locally - of course she was 87 at the time! She still has a ton of friends down there though so I'll keep you in mind if she hears that any of them are on the move.
Hi Gary! These types of communities are in high demand all across the country due to our aging population. Here, we just don't have enough of them to go around but, the ones that we do have are so very appealing--it almost makes me wish I was retiring just to live there! They offer so many activities and the homes are just beautiful. One of my favorites--when I show in the area, everyone is riding all over the place in their golf carts! What a life!
Have a great week...
Sandy - Likewise, hope you are as well. Yep, they are both nice. Saw Florida Today did a cover story on Heritage Isle yesterday!
Debe- The lifestyle is nice. I wish I had the resources now to just move in one myself...but I don't qualify age wise yet...
Michael - The area has really developed over the past few years. Thanks.
