With just 16 homes in the community and construction concentrated in a two-year window (1985-1987), Gardens Forest Lakes doesn't behave like a large subdivision with a predictable pricing curve. There's no long build-out history to smooth out variance — what's listed right now is largely what defines the market's current character.

The median living area near 915 square feet signals compact units, likely attached or lower-square-footage constructions consistent with a community from this era. No community amenities are identified in current MLS data, so buyers should treat any amenity claims as something to verify directly rather than assume. The relatively low homestead share also suggests a mix of ownership types worth asking about — investor-owned units can mean different HOA dynamics, rental restrictions, or maintenance histories than owner-occupied ones.

In a community this small, generic market data doesn't tell you much — you need someone pulling comps unit by unit and asking pointed questions about condition, ownership mix, and HOA specifics before you write an offer. That's the level of diligence we bring to a 16-home community where one bad comparison can cost you real money.

Listings in this community report association dues of about $666 per month ($7,992 a year) — the median AssociationFee across 4 MLS records, normalised to a monthly figure; most are billed monthly. Dues change with budgets and can differ by section or product type; confirm the current figure with the association before you offer. Source: MLS listing records, 2026-09.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
