Legends Preserve: The New-Home Guide.

Overview: What Is Announced

Legends Preserve is a Meritage Homes single-family community on International Golf Drive, alongside the LPGA golf course, about 12 miles from the beach by the builder's description, with quick access to I-4, I-95, and Daytona International Airport. The Signature Series is now selling, priced from 389,000 dollars, from the sales office at 3235 Legends Preserve Drive.

The community sells in two series. Signature Series plans under construction include the Corsica, about 1,908 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, and the Emilia, about 2,190 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Community amenities listed by the builder: a park, trails, a community pool with cabana, and a tot lot.

The Reserve Series carries the larger product: Homes.com lists Reserve Series homes ranging roughly 397,000 to 496,000 dollars as of September 1, 2026.

Price motion worth knowing: on the August 30, 2026 NewHomeSource read the Signature Series started at 363,990 dollars; two days later the builder page carried from 389,000 dollars. Entry pricing here has moved up between reads, so treat any single number as a snapshot.

Quick Facts (All Sourced)

Every figure here is attributed and dated. Base prices exclude lot premiums, options, and closing costs, and this community has already repriced between our reads. Confirm the current price sheet, HOA schedule, and any CDD assessment in writing before you contract, and bring your own representation from the first visit.

Location & Context

Legends Preserve fronts International Golf Drive alongside the LPGA golf course, in the same west Daytona corridor as Daytona International Speedway, Tanger Outlets, and the Boardwalk attractions the builder name-checks. Both I-4 and I-95 are close, and the airport is minutes away.

The practical read: this is golf-corridor Daytona, not beachside Daytona. The LPGA corridor is where the metro's new-construction volume has concentrated, which means newer infrastructure and more builder competition on price, but also more construction around you for years. The 12-mile beach figure is the builder's own; drive it at rush hour before you decide what beach access really costs.

What Is Planned

Signature Series floorplans under construction include the Corsica at about 1,908 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, and the Emilia at about 2,190 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, alongside move-in ready inventory the builder lists on the community page.

The Reserve Series runs the larger homes, listed by Homes.com at roughly 397,000 to 496,000 dollars.

Taxes & Costs Context

Legends Preserve is in Volusia County, so property taxes follow the Volusia millage plus any community assessments.

Expect an HOA covering the pool, cabana, park, trails, and tot lot; the builder pages cited here do not publish the dues figure. Ask for the full HOA budget and any capital contribution or CDD in writing. For context, the Volusia County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 19.21 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

Signature Series base pricing starts at 389,000 dollars as of September 1, 2026, up from the 363,990 dollar start on the August 30 NewHomeSource read. Base excludes lot premium, structural options, and design selections.

Inland west Daytona carries less coastal wind and flood exposure than beachside, but Volusia insurance pricing is still a real line item. Get a bindable quote before you remove financing contingencies.

Schools

Meritage lists Champion Elementary School, David C. Hinson Middle School, and Mainland High School near the community. School assignment is set by Volusia County Schools and can change; confirm the current zoning with the district before you buy.
