Jon's Current Read

"Kanner Lake, also marketed as Willow Pointe, is a small, newer gated community of roughly 65 single-family homes built by D.R. Horton off Kanner Highway in Stuart, with a pool, tennis courts, and walking trails. Because the homes are recent and from a defined set of floor plans, the read is plan-and-lot specific: comp by the same floor plan and weigh a lake or preserve lot over an interior one. Confirm the current dues and what they cover, since a newer amenity community carries real monthly costs. The durable draws are the newer construction, the gated setting, and quick I-95 access via Kanner Highway."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Kanner Lake, also known as Willow Pointe, is a small, newer gated single-family community off Kanner Highway in Stuart (ZIP 34997), built by D.R. Horton at roughly 65 homes.

The community offers a defined set of floor plans, reported from about 1,641 to 2,645 square feet with three to five bedrooms, two to three and a half baths, and two-car garages, so floor plan and lot set the comp.

Amenities reported include a swimming pool, tennis courts, and walking trails, in an unmanned gated setting, which is part of what the dues fund. Confirm the current dues and exactly what they cover for a specific home.

Value turns on the floor plan, the lot, and condition; because the homes are recent, the read is plan-and-lot specific, with a lake or preserve position holding value over an interior one. Confirm the school assignment for a specific home.

Best for

  • Buyers who want newer, gated single-family construction in Stuart
  • Buyers who value a pool, tennis, and trails in a small community
  • Buyers who want quick I-95 access via Kanner Highway
  • Buyers comfortable comping by floor plan and lot rather than a Stuart average

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want an established, lower-dues neighborhood
  • Buyers who want a large estate or acreage
  • Buyers who want a guard-staffed, large-amenity master plan
  • Buyers who want a non-HOA, no-amenity setting

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

    Martin County inventory rises as the market balances

    June 2025 reporting described Martin County as a buyer-leaning market with rising inventory and longer days on market after several years of rapid appreciation. Why it matters: More inventory and negotiating room reward buyers who comp by floor plan and lot and confirm the dues rather than relying on a Stuart-wide average. Source

If we were buying in Kanner Lake, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Comp by floor plan and lot. The community uses a defined set of D.R. Horton plans, so price against the same plan and weigh the lot, not a Stuart-wide average.

2

Confirm the dues and inclusions. Verify the current homeowners association amount and what the pool, tennis, trails, and gate cover.

3

Choose the lot. A lake or preserve position holds value over an interior one in a small community.

4

Read the build and any updates. Even on newer homes, confirm the construction year, warranties, and any owner changes.

5

Verify the school zoning by address. Confirm the exact assignment with the Martin County School District for a specific home.

Best Buy
A larger floor plan on a lake or preserve lot, priced to same-plan comps with the dues confirmed.
Biggest Risk
Overlooking the dues and inclusions on a newer amenity community, or comping across the wrong plan.
Best Lot
Lake and preserve positions hold value over interior lots.
Smart Timing
Demand is steady for newer gated Stuart homes; floor plan, lot, and dues matter more than timing.

Community Details at a Glance

Kanner Lake, also marketed as Willow Pointe, is a small, newer gated single-family community of roughly 65 homes built by D.R. Horton off Kanner Highway in Stuart. The community offers a defined set of floor plans, reported from about 1,641 to 2,645 square feet with three to five bedrooms, two to three and a half baths, and two-car garages, with reported amenities including a swimming pool, tennis courts, and walking trails in an unmanned gated setting. Because the homes are recent and from a defined plan set, value turns on the floor plan, the lot, and condition. Confirm the current dues and inclusions, the construction year and any warranties, and the school assignment by address for a specific home before relying on them.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Entry: smaller plans

The smaller D.R. Horton floor plans on interior lots, the more attainable way into the gates. Plan and lot drive value.

Lowest entry
Core: mid-size plans

Mid-size plans in move-in condition, the heart of the community. Plan and lot set where these land.

Most inventory
High: large plans on lake or preserve lots

The largest plans on a lake or preserve lot, the top of the local range. Position and size drive the premium.

Strongest resale

Approximate 2026 resale bands from third-party listing data and public records, not NEFAR statistics. Confirm pricing for a specific home.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The trap here is a beautifully staged original-condition home. Staging is cheap; a roof, HVAC, and a full modernization are not. We price the real renovation before you fall for the listing photos, because in an all-resale market that number is the difference between a deal and the most expensive house on the street.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Kanner Lake

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

The newer construction and the gated amenities are the draw. The deal is won or lost on the floor plan, the lot, and confirming the dues.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from BeachesMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Lake and preserve positions hold value best
  • Floor plan is the biggest swing
  • Confirm the dues on a newer amenity community
  • The newer construction and gate are the draw
  • Comp same plan, not a Stuart average

At Kanner Lake the value drivers are the floor plan, the lot, and condition, in a small, newer D.R. Horton gated community off Kanner Highway. A larger plan on a lake or preserve lot holds value over a smaller interior one. Because the homes come from a defined plan set, comp against the same plan rather than a Stuart-wide average, and confirm the current dues and inclusions and the lot for the specific home.

  • Small, newer gated community, roughly 65 homes
  • Built by D.R. Horton
  • Pool, tennis, and trails behind the gate
  • Floor plan and lot drive value
  • Confirm the dues and inclusions for a specific home

A mandatory homeowners association funds the gate, the pool, the tennis courts, and the trails. Confirm the current amount and exactly what it covers for a specific home, as a newer amenity community carries real monthly costs.

Typically the unmanned gate, common-area landscaping, and the pool, tennis courts, and walking trails. Confirm the exact inclusions and any reserves for a specific home.

Amenities reported include a swimming pool, tennis courts, and walking trails in an unmanned gated community, rather than a large clubhouse club.

The takeaway

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

In Kanner Lake, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Kanner Lake, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
