The Homes: Single-Family and Townhomes
Sherwood Forest mixes single-family homes on oak-lined streets with attached townhomes, all from the 1980s. The townhomes are the lower-maintenance value entry; the single-family homes are the core; golf-set or renovated homes sit at the top.
Because the stock dates to the 1980s, the spread between homes is about condition, the roof and golf exposure, not just floor plan. A home with a newer roof, updated systems and a clean flood designation can carry far cheaper and resell far easier than an otherwise similar home that has deferred those items.
For buyers who want the mature, manicured setting, the opportunity is real: a well-kept home or townhome on a healthy association in a deed-restricted community holds its character. We read condition, the roof and the HOA together before you commit.

The Sherwood Forest Buyer Checklist
- Confirm the HOA inclusions and reserves, not just the dues.
- Review the deed restrictions before you offer.
- Get the roof age on the specific 1980s home.
- Pull the FEMA flood designation for the parcel.
- Confirm the master-policy split on townhomes.
- Quote insurance early on the specific home.
- Comp by home, exposure and condition, not the community average.
Sherwood Forest is one of the most settled, manicured addresses in north Titusville, and the deed-restricted character is exactly why it holds up. The thing I make sure buyers understand is the HOA: what the reported bundled services actually cover and how healthy the reserves are, because that is where the real value, or the real surprise, lives.
After that it is established-community discipline: review the deed restrictions, check the 1980s roof, pull the flood designation, and quote insurance before you offer. Done right, a well-kept home here is a durable buy.
Sherwood Forest vs. the Alternatives
The honest comparison set for a Sherwood Forest buyer in Titusville:
| Community | Type | Fees (approx.) | The trade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sherwood Forest | Deed-restricted, golf setting | Confirm HOA (bundled services) | Mature golf-course community, homes and townhomes |
| La Cita Towns | Townhomes, golf community | HOA + optional club | Lock-and-leave townhomes, golf at the door |
| Hunters Ridge | Mid-2000s single-family | Confirm HOA (modest) | Larger, newer four-bedroom homes |
| Hickory Hill | Established single-family | Confirm HOA (modest or none) | Value-tier single-family |
The pattern: Sherwood Forest wins on the mature, deed-restricted golf-course setting; La Cita Towns on golf-community lock-and-leave; Hunters Ridge on size and newness; Hickory Hill on value-tier single-family. There is no wrong answer, only a wrong match for your priorities.
