South Oaks In Melbourne, Florida
South Oaks is a gated community of detached single family homes in Melbourne, built out in phases between 1988 and 1997. Property records cover South Oaks, South Oaks Phase 1 and South Oaks Phase 2. Homes are two to three bedrooms with two baths, two car garages, and 1,080 to 1,758 square feet of living area on lots around 0.13 acre.
The amenity package is the thing that separates this community from other Melbourne subdivisions in its price band. On record are a community pool, a clubhouse, a fitness center, a sauna, a spa, tennis courts and pickleball, behind a gate. That is a resort style list attached to a community where 16 homes have traded.
The price band here runs $258,000 to $335,000, with the middle at $305,000, or about $212 a square foot. Homes went under contract in about 40 days. The active selection here is thin and moves quickly when something comes up.
South Oaks Price Range
The price band here runs $258,000 to $335,000, and size and build year do most of the work between the two ends.
Near $258,000 you are at the smaller plans, closer to 1,080 square feet, likely two bedrooms, and generally the earlier build years. The two car garage and the full amenity list come with the home regardless of where it falls in the band.
The middle is $305,000, about $212 a square foot, which lands on a home near 1,396 square feet with three bedrooms, two baths and a two car garage on roughly 0.13 acre.
Near $335,000 you are at the largest plans, up to 1,758 square feet, and usually the later phases. A small share of homes here have water frontage, and those are the ones that push to the top of the band.
These are the figures the public property records carry for homes in South Oaks, not current asking prices, and a single address can sit outside the band for reasons a number will not show you. Call or text (321) 212-7676 and we will price the exact home you are looking at.

South Oaks Details
Gated, With A Resort Style Amenity List
The community is gated, and the shared facilities on record include a community pool, a clubhouse, a fitness center, a sauna, a spa, tennis courts and pickleball. Most Melbourne subdivisions built in this era have a pool and little else. This one has the full list.
Two Car Garages On Small Lots
Every recorded home here has a two car garage on a lot of about 0.13 acre. That combination is deliberate: covered parking and storage without a yard that takes a weekend to maintain. If you want acreage, this is not the community.
Built In Phases, 1988 To 1997
Property records cover South Oaks, South Oaks Phase 1 and South Oaks Phase 2, spanning nearly a decade of construction. A 1988 home and a 1997 home in the same community can differ in layout and in systems, so pin down the build year on any address you are serious about.
Two And Three Bedroom Plans
Homes run two to three bedrooms with two baths, and living area spans 1,080 to 1,758 square feet with the middle around 1,396. The spread from smallest to largest is nearly 700 square feet, which is what drives most of the price difference here.
Block, Brick And Stucco
Construction on record includes stucco, block, concrete, brick, brick veneer, frame, vinyl siding and wood siding, all under shingle roofs. Brick fronts are not common in Melbourne subdivisions, so exteriors here vary more than the uniform look of a single builder community.
A Thin Active Market
Sixteen homes have traded here in total, and the active list below is usually short. Homes went under contract in about 40 days. In a community this small with an amenity list this long, waiting for the perfect floor plan can mean waiting a while.
