Living in Florida's Space Coast
Hawks Ridge
Hawks Ridge is about as small as a gated community gets: a single cul de sac, Hawks Ridge Court NE, reached through a gate off Market Circle NE near Port Malabar Boulevard NE. The houses went up between 2020 and 2022, all four bedrooms, most with three car garages. Dues run $650 to roughly $787 a year and there is no clubhouse, no pool, no tennis court.
Hawks Ridge In Palm Bay, Florida
Hawks Ridge is an enclave, not a subdivision. Every address is on Hawks Ridge Court NE, a cul de sac behind a gate, and the plat is recorded as Hawk's Ridge. Listings describe an intimate group of roughly 14 houses. You reach it by turning north off Port Malabar Boulevard NE onto Cranbrook Avenue NE, east onto Market Circle NE, then north into the gate. Miss the turn and you are past it.
The houses are new. Construction ran 2020 through 2022, so you are looking at current era building code, block and stucco with concrete, and finishes that have not aged out. Four bedrooms is the standard, two or three baths, and the three car garage is common rather than optional. Interiors run roughly 2,100 to 2,300 square feet, mostly single story, with luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz counters and eight foot interior doors typical of the vintage.
Lots are 0.25 to 0.41 acres, which is meaningfully larger than most Palm Bay new construction gives you, and the cul de sac position means several parcels are pie shaped with wide rear yards. None of the houses in this pocket were built with a pool, so if you want one you are adding it, and the lot depth on the larger parcels makes that realistic. At least one house here runs solar.
Dues sit between $650 and roughly $787 per year, billed annually, and there is nothing shared to fund beyond the gate, the private road and the entrance landscaping. That is the honest exchange. You are not paying for a clubhouse you would visit twice. You also do not get one. Hawk's Ridge of Brevard Homeowners Association, Inc. was registered with the Florida Division of Corporations in 2019 under document N19000006615, and its state filing currently reads inactive.
That last point is not a reason to walk away, but it is a reason to ask questions. An inactive corporate registration usually means annual reports lapsed rather than that the association stopped operating, and it is routinely cured. Before you close, get the recorded declaration, the current budget, proof of insurance on the common elements, and a written estoppel showing exactly what is owed and who is collecting it.

Hawks Ridge Details
Fourteen Houses, One Street
There is one road in and one road out, and it dead ends: no cut through traffic, no second phase coming, no builder still delivering next door. If you have ever lived on a through street and hated it, that is the entire pitch. It also means that when a house here comes up, there is no comparable listing to weigh it against.
Dues Buy A Gate, Not Amenities
Between $650 and roughly $787 a year covers the gate, the private road surface and the entrance landscaping. That is it. Compare it against gated Palm Bay communities charging two or three times as much for a pool, tennis and a clubhouse, and decide honestly which version you would use.
Newer Than Almost Anything Around It
Built 2020 through 2022, so the roofs, mechanicals and windows are all young, and the houses were framed under current code. In a county where insurance carriers price on roof age, that matters more than any finish level. Ask for the wind mitigation report anyway.
Quarter To Four Tenths Of An Acre
Lots run 0.25 to 0.41 acres, which is unusually generous for Palm Bay houses of this vintage. Cul de sac geometry gives several parcels a narrow front and a wide back. None were built with a pool, so the rear yard is a blank slate on the larger lots.
Verify The Association Paperwork
The Brevard association tied to this name was registered with the state in 2019 and its filing currently reads inactive, which normally reflects lapsed annual reports rather than a dissolved community. Treat it as a due diligence item: recorded declaration, current budget, common element insurance, written estoppel.
Port Malabar Boulevard Access
The Palm Bay Community Center sits at 1502 Port Malabar Boulevard NE and Turkey Creek Sanctuary at 1518, 130 acres with a 1.85 mile boardwalk and creek access for paddling. Babcock Street NE and Palm Bay Road NE handle everyday retail. It is a short, established corner of the city.

Hawks Ridge Frequently Asked Questions
How many houses are in Hawks Ridge?
Listings describe it as an intimate gated enclave of roughly 14 houses, all on Hawks Ridge Court NE. There is no second phase and no additional street. That scale is the defining feature of the community and the reason listings here are infrequent.
Is Hawks Ridge gated?
Yes. A security gate controls the entrance off Market Circle NE, and that access along with the private road is what the annual assessment funds. There is no guardhouse. Expect a code or transmitter at closing and ask how the entry system handles deliveries.
What are the HOA dues?
Between $650 and roughly $787 per year, billed annually. The money maintains the gate, the private road and the entrance landscaping. There is no pool, clubhouse, tennis court or fitness room in this community, which is why the number stays low relative to other gated Palm Bay addresses.
Is the homeowners association in good standing?
Hawk's Ridge of Brevard Homeowners Association, Inc. was registered with the Florida Division of Corporations in 2019 under document N19000006615, and the state filing currently reads inactive. That most often reflects lapsed annual reports rather than a shut down association. Ask for the recorded declaration, the current budget and a written estoppel before closing.
Do the houses have pools?
Not as built. There is no community pool and the houses in this pocket were completed without private pools. Lots of 0.25 to 0.41 acres with wide rear yards on the cul de sac parcels make adding one practical, but you would be starting from grass and permits.
How old are the houses?
They were built between 2020 and 2022, which makes Hawks Ridge one of the newer addresses in this part of Palm Bay. Roofs, HVAC systems, water heaters and windows are all young. That has a direct effect on what insurance carriers in Brevard County will quote.
Why is the price per square foot so high?
Around $243 a square foot reflects three things: the houses are only a few years old, the lots are larger than typical new construction in the city, and the gated cul de sac has almost no supply. You are paying for scarcity and for a young house, not for a bigger one.
Where is Hawks Ridge exactly?
In the 32905 part of Palm Bay, north of Port Malabar Boulevard NE. From Babcock Street NE you head east on Port Malabar Boulevard, turn north on Cranbrook Avenue NE, east on Market Circle NE, then north into the gate onto Hawks Ridge Court NE. Turkey Creek Sanctuary is a few minutes away.
Hawks Ridge Court NE, Palm Bay 32905
Hawks Ridge tucks in north of Port Malabar Boulevard NE in the 32905 zip, an established part of Palm Bay rather than the newer western build out. The approach is off Port Malabar Boulevard NE to Cranbrook Avenue NE, east onto Market Circle NE, then north through the gate. The cul de sac terminates the street, which is why traffic inside is limited to residents and their guests.
From here, Babcock Street NE and Palm Bay Road NE cover groceries, fuel and everyday retail, and I-95 exit 176 at Palm Bay Road is the practical interchange for anything north. Turkey Creek Sanctuary at 1518 Port Malabar Boulevard NE puts 130 acres, a 1.85 mile boardwalk and canoe access within a few minutes. US 1 and the Indian River sit east. Beach days mean a run east and a causeway crossing, which is true of every address in this city.

Considering Hawks Ridge?
A fourteen house cul de sac almost never has two listings at once, so when one comes up you have to be ready and you have to know what the association paperwork actually says. Recorded declaration, current budget, insurance on the common elements, written estoppel: those are the four documents that matter here. My partner Nichole and I will pull them and read them with you. Call or text (321) 212-7676.
