Living in Florida's Space Coast
Egrets Landing
Egrets Landing sits off East Hall Road in North Merritt Island, a Maronda Homes community that started delivering houses in 2017 and is still finishing its last streets. Homes run 2,038 to 4,011 square feet on lots right around a quarter acre, most of them single story with three-car garages. The association is mandatory and bills 441 dollars twice a year.
Egrets Landing In Merritt Island, Florida
Egrets Landing is a builder community, not an old plat that filled in over decades. Maronda Homes laid out the streets north of East Hall Road, the association was incorporated in Florida in 2016, and the first roofs went on in 2017. That means the housing stock is tight: block and stucco, one construction era, one set of engineering standards, and no 1960s wiring or cast iron drain lines waiting for you behind a wall.
You will hear plan names rather than street lore here. The Livorno is the single story that shows up most often, with eleven foot ceilings, a gourmet kitchen package and a three-car garage. The Sienna is the two story alternative. Harmony and Clearwater fill in at the smaller end. Because these are catalog plans with option lists, two houses on the same street can differ by a hundred thousand dollars in finish alone.
The street names are worth noticing. Hebron Drive is the spine and carries most of the addresses, with Shannock Avenue, Norwich Street, Danbury Lane, Ledyard and Cornwall Drive branching off it. Those are New England town names, dropped onto a barrier island subdivision, which is a quirk buyers either enjoy or never think about again. Hebron Drive runs straight in from Hall Road, so orienting yourself here takes about one visit.
Roughly a third of the houses have a screened in-ground pool, and several of those are heated and salt converted. Seven of the homes look out over a retention pond, which is the closest thing to waterfront in Egrets Landing. There is no canal, no dock and no boat access from your back yard. If you want a pond lot, expect to pay a premium for it, because Maronda charged one when the lots were first sold.
Pricing has been steady rather than dramatic. Houses generally trade around 243 dollars a square foot, spend about four weeks on the market, and settle near 97 percent of what they first asked. The range runs from the mid 490s for a smaller resale to the mid 800s for a large late-build with heavy options. Property tax bills on established homes land near 6,600 dollars, while brand new closings still carry a partial-year assessment.

Egrets Landing Details
Catalog Plans, Real Upgrades
Maronda sells from a plan book, so the Livorno, Sienna, Harmony and Clearwater repeat across the streets. What separates one from the next is the option list: level two tile, quartz counters, stone fronts, tray ceilings, extended lanais. Read the original option sheet if the seller still has it.
Three Bays As The Norm
A three-car garage is the standard here rather than the exception, and several are side-entry with a workshop bay. On a barrier island where boat trailers, kayaks and hurricane supplies all need somewhere to live, that third bay does real work.
Storm Hardening From Day One
Twenty-two of these houses came with storm shutters, and the newest builds carry impact glass instead. Block walls, post-2017 roof decking and modern strapping all matter when you price wind coverage. Ask for the wind mitigation report before you assume anything.
Pond Lots And Tree Lines
There is no navigable water in Egrets Landing, but the pond lots give you an open view and no rear neighbor, and a handful of homes back to woods instead. Those two lot types hold value better than an interior lot facing another driveway.
A Real Association
Dues of 882 dollars a year cover common area upkeep, the entrances and the retention ponds, and there are covenants with teeth. If you have spent years in an unrestricted Merritt Island subdivision, this will feel different. Read the documents before you commit.
The North End Trade
You are about five miles north of the State Road 528 interchange, which means quieter roads, darker skies and a longer run to the beach. Kennedy Space Center is roughly six miles up State Road 3, and Pine Island Conservation Area sits just west of you.

Egrets Landing Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Egrets Landing in Merritt Island?
Egrets Landing is in North Merritt Island, FL 32953, north of the Canaveral Barge Canal. You reach it from North Courtenay Parkway (State Road 3) by turning east on East Hall Road and then into Hebron Drive, or by turning east directly onto Norwich Street. The State Road 528 interchange at Exit 49 is about five miles south.
Who built Egrets Landing?
Maronda Homes developed and built the community. The homeowners association was incorporated in Florida in 2016 and the earliest houses date to 2017. Common plans include the Livorno single story, the two-story Sienna, the Harmony and the Clearwater.
Is there an HOA in Egrets Landing and what does it cost?
Yes, and membership is mandatory. Dues are 441 dollars billed semi-annually, so 882 dollars a year, and day to day administration runs through Leland, an outside association firm. The dues cover common areas, entrances and stormwater ponds. Request the covenants and the current budget during your inspection period.
Is Egrets Landing gated or age restricted?
Neither. The entrances at Hall Road and Norwich Street are open, and there is no age restriction on ownership or occupancy. Anyone who wants a guard house or a 55-plus setting should look elsewhere on the island.
Are there waterfront homes in Egrets Landing?
Not in the boating sense. There are no canals and no dock access. Seven homes face a retention pond, which gives you a water view and an open back yard, and a few others back to trees. If you want a boat behind the house, this is the wrong community and I will tell you that up front.
What do homes cost in Egrets Landing?
The working range runs from the mid 490s for a smaller resale to the mid 800s for a large, heavily optioned late build, with the middle around 665,000 dollars. About 243 dollars a square foot is the figure to carry in your head. Houses here typically settle near 97 percent of their first asking price.
Is Egrets Landing in a flood zone?
Flood zone assignment is parcel by parcel, never neighborhood wide. Brevard County Public Works runs Floodplain Administration at (321) 617-7340, the official county repository for the FEMA flood map panels, and issues written flood zone determinations and elevation certificates. Get one in writing before you shop insurance.
How new are the newest houses?
Maronda has continued delivering into 2026, and five of the most recent transactions were brand new construction. If you buy one of those, expect the first tax bill to reflect a partial year and the second one to jump once the improvement is fully assessed. Budget for that gap.
Hebron Drive, Merritt Island 32953
Egrets Landing occupies the flat ground east of North Courtenay Parkway between Hall Road and Norwich Street, in the northern third of Merritt Island. This is the quiet end of the island. North of the barge canal the commercial strip thins out, the lots get bigger, and the traffic on State Road 3 moves. Pine Island Conservation Area, the county preserve with the Sams House interpretive site on Pine Island Road, is a short drive west.
Figure about ten minutes south on State Road 3 to the State Road 528 interchange, which is your route to Port Canaveral in one direction and Orlando in the other. Kennedy Space Center is roughly six miles north. Cocoa Beach is a twenty to twenty-five minute run depending on which causeway you take, and the nearest public boat ramp with Banana River access is Kelly Park East on North Banana River Drive.
