The 60-Second Overview
Naples Village is where Titusville's space boom actually buys its houses: KB Home's twin villages inside the Verona master plan, with Village I from $312,990 (1,346–2,544 sqft) and Village II from $314,990 (1,541–3,530 sqft, published plans to 6 bedrooms) — both built-to-order off Grissom Parkway.
The structural feature is the carry: published HOAs of $92 a year and $55 semi-annually make these the lightest-fee new-construction villages on the Space Coast — governance without campuses, by design, with KSC's gates twenty minutes from the driveway.
The buyer's work is twofold: choosing the right village (the $2,000 base gap hides very different plan ranges) and disciplining KB's option sheet, which moves finals well past base on every build.
Two villages, six-bedroom ceilings, and an HOA that costs less than a tank of gas — Naples Village is the workforce math done right.
The Light HOAs: $92 a Year, Eyes Open
The published figures — $92/year (I) and $55/semi-annual (II) — buy deed-restriction governance and basic commons, not pools or staff. For payment-focused buyers it is the cleanest carry on the coast; for amenity-seekers it is the honest signal to shop elsewhere.
Village I vs II: The $2,000 Gap That Isn't
The base prices sit $2,000 apart; the products don't. Village I (1,346–2,544 sqft) is the entry village — compact threes and family fours, the tightest payment math in the city. Village II (1,541–3,530 sqft) is the household-size village: bigger plans, more elevation variety, and published layouts to 6 bedrooms — product that essentially doesn't exist new at these prices anywhere else on the coast.
Our sorting rule: payment-first and first-time buyers start in I; large and multigenerational households start in II; everyone tours both, because lot releases and quick move-ins regularly flip the math between them.
Built-to-Order: Flexibility With Teeth
KB's model hands you the choices — plan, elevation, design studio — and the responsibility: option sheets routinely add five figures, and the advertised base is a starting line, not a price. The standard energy-efficiency packages are the quiet value, worth modeling into the monthly comparison against resale alternatives.
The other lever is financing: KB's headline incentives often route through its affiliated lender. Sometimes that tie-in is genuinely the best deal; sometimes open-market financing beats it. We price both on every contract — it is frequently worth thousands either way.
Inside Verona: The Plan Around You
The villages sit inside the broader Verona master plan — roughly 339 single-family homes and 126 platted townhomes along Grissom Parkway, covered in full on our Verona page. The practical notes: construction continues around both villages as the plan builds, and the townhome parcels, when they open, should set Titusville's lowest new-construction entry — relevant to your resale comp set someday.
Schools: Confirm in a Growing City
Both villages feed Titusville-area schools by address — and growth-city zoning shifts. We confirm the current assignment with Brevard Public Schools for the specific homesite and flag rezone risk on build timelines.

5 Mistakes Naples Village Buyers Make
Built-to-order entry pricing invites predictable errors. The five we see:
Touring only one village
The $2,000 base gap hides different plan ranges and lot mixes. Tour both — releases flip the math regularly.
Anchoring on base price
The studio adds five figures to most builds. Price your actual configuration before comparing anything.
Taking the lender tie-in unpriced
KB's incentives often require their lender. Sometimes it's the best deal — verify against open-market financing, every time.
Assuming amenities exist
$92 a year funds governance, not pools. Know the model before you tour — or price Riverwood's amenitized alternative honestly.
Walking in unrepresented
KB's office works for KB. Registration on visit one is free and changes the option and incentive conversation.

The Naples Village Due-Diligence Checklist
- Both villages toured — live releases and quick move-ins compared.
- Current HOA amounts and scope in writing for your village.
- Parcel tax-bill lines — any district assessments confirmed.
- Total built-to-order price — plan, elevation, studio, lot premium — one number.
- Lender tie-in priced against open-market financing.
- School zoning confirmed by address, rezone risk flagged.
- Builder contract review — deposits, timelines, completion protections.
- Insurance quote and flood-zone check on the parcel.
Naples Village is where I send Space Coast workforce buyers who ask what their payment actually buys: a new build from $313K with an HOA under $100 a year is arithmetic nothing amenitized can match. Village II's six-bedroom plans are the sleeper — big households have almost no new options at these numbers anywhere.
The discipline is KB-specific: option sheets and lender tie-ins priced independently, both villages compared, fees verified. We do that work on every deal — the builder has professionals; you should too.
How Naples Village Compares
Workforce buyers should see the coast's entries on one table.
| Community | Setting | Price feel | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Naples Village at Verona | Titusville | $310s–$480s | Lightest HOA on the coast + KSC commute + 6-bed ceilings |
| Verona (the plan) | Titusville | $310s–$450s+ | The master-plan context and townhome pipeline |
| Riverwood at Everlands | NW Palm Bay | $290s–$380s | Amenitized alternative: pool + clubhouse, ~$265/mo HOA |
| Meridian at Mayfair | South Melbourne | $360s–$510s | Melbourne employment hub + causeway beaches |
| Everlands | NW Palm Bay | $240K–$582K | The 2,000-acre value plan, south county |
The honest verdict: for KSC-corridor commuters and payment-first buyers, Naples Village wins on carry; amenity-seekers trade up to Riverwood's ~$265/month model; south-county badges go south. One commute question usually settles it.

Questions We Ask Before You Buy Here
Six questions we put to KB and the associations on every Naples Village deal:
- What are each village's current HOA amounts and exactly what do they cover?
- What district or special assessments sit on this parcel?
- What does my actual configuration cost — plan, studio, premium — all-in?
- What does the lender incentive really save against open-market financing?
- Which lots release next in each village, and at what premiums?
- What is the realistic build timeline, and what protects me if it slips?
