Grand Isle, Viera's "other" 55+ community

Gary Waters -Real estate agent Viera Suntree  Melbourne and Rockledge FL: Real Estate Agent in Viera, FL

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.

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.
