Hampton Homes
One of the highest turnover neighborhoods in Central Merritt Island. Built from 1959 to 1991, no mandatory HOA, and three genuinely different products on the same streets: dry lots, canal lots leading to Sykes Creek, and homes directly on the creek.
Hampton Homes, Merritt Island
Hampton Homes sits in Central Merritt Island along the SR 520 and Courtenay Parkway corridor, on streets including First through Eighth, Belair Avenue and Needle Boulevard. It is one of the three highest volume selling neighborhoods in Central Merritt Island, alongside Catalina Isles and Diana Shores.
The thing to understand before you shop it is that Hampton Homes contains three different products. Dry lots with no water at all. Lots on a canal that leads to Sykes Creek. And homes directly on Sykes Creek itself. Those are three very different purchases at three very different prices, and they exist within the same subdivision.
The build range is wide, 1959 to 1991, which means condition varies more here than in a tightly built neighborhood. Home sizes run from about 864 square feet at the small end to roughly 2,388 at the large end. There is no mandatory homeowners association.
Prices reflect all of that. Current listings have run roughly $260,000 to $885,000 with comparable sales from around $180,500 to $790,000. The median sits near $300,000, which tells you most of the volume is at the smaller dry-lot end while the creek homes pull the top of the range.

Hampton Homes Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hampton Homes have an HOA?
No mandatory association and no required fee has been reported. That means no dues, and also no covenant protections.
Is Hampton Homes waterfront?
Some of it. The subdivision contains dry lots, lots on a canal leading to Sykes Creek, and homes directly on Sykes Creek. All three exist within the same neighborhood, so it is entirely a per-address question.
When was Hampton Homes built?
Between 1959 and 1991, which is a wide range. Condition and updating vary considerably as a result.
What do homes cost in Hampton Homes?
Homes are listed from $260,000 to $885,000 and have sold from $180,500 to $790,000. The median near $300,000 reflects that most volume is at the dry-lot end while creek homes pull the top.
How big are the homes in Hampton Homes?
Roughly 864 to 2,388 square feet. The smaller end is genuinely small by current standards, which is part of why the entry pricing works.
Is Hampton Homes gated?
No, and there are no community amenities.
Is Hampton Homes a good first home neighborhood?
It is one of the more realistic entry points on Merritt Island, particularly on a dry lot. The caveat is that a house built between 1959 and 1991 needs a proper inspection scope, especially the roof and the electrical panel.
What should I check on a canal or creek home here?
Seawall condition and age, dock and lift permits, whether the lift conveys, and water depth at low tide for the boat you actually own. None of that is covered by a standard home inspection.
