Island Forest Preserve market snapshot (as of June 17, 2026): the median sale price is about $590K ($188 per sq ft), a balanced market (limited data). Based on 23 recent closings in live Space Coast MLS data.
Island Forest Preserve is a gated new-construction single-family community by Maronda Homes in Merritt Island, in the 32953 area of Brevard County. It is reported to hold about 112 homes in a quiet, preserve-adjacent setting.
Reported designs come from the Americana and Renaissance series, running roughly 2,044 to 4,767 square feet with three to six bedrooms, open-concept plans, and energy-efficient construction. Treat the plan list, the size range, and the home count as builder-reported and confirm them on a specific home.
The reported HOA covers grounds maintenance and trash removal. Because this is new construction, the money is made on the base plan, the structural options, and the homesite, not on a headline number. Confirm the current HOA amount, check the parcel for any Community Development District assessment on the tax bill, and read the warranty and build timeline before you decide.
For buyers who want a current-code home with a builder warranty in a gated, preserve-adjacent setting with access toward SR 528 and Orlando, Island Forest Preserve is a straightforward option. The work is comparing a quick-move-in home against a to-be-built slot and pricing the all-in carry honestly.
