Magnolia Park at Bayside
Magnolia Park sits behind the Bramblewood Circle gate in Bayside Lakes, a small run of houses on Ridgemont Circle, Thornwood Drive and Devlin Court. They went up from 2003 to 2005, mostly single story, 2,126 to 3,255 square feet on quarter acre plus lots. Two thirds have a screened pool. The community keeps a boat and RV storage yard, which is rare.
Magnolia Park at Bayside In Palm Bay, Florida
Magnolia Park at Bayside Lakes Homeowners Association, Inc. was registered with the Florida Division of Corporations in 2002, and the houses followed over the next three years. It is one of the smaller gated villages inside the Bayside Lakes master plan, entered from Bramblewood Circle off Bayside Lakes Boulevard, and the streets inside are short: Ridgemont Circle carries the most, then Thornwood Drive, with Devlin Court ending in a cul de sac.
The lots are the first thing an experienced eye notices. Homesites run a quarter acre to better than a third, which is well above what the newer Palm Bay subdivisions offer and above most of the other Bayside Lakes gates too. The houses match: 2,126 to 3,255 square feet, three to five bedrooms, two or three baths, block and stucco under shingle, and the majority laid out on a single floor.
The amenity that separates Magnolia Park from every neighboring village is storage. There is a boat and RV storage area associated with the community, which in a part of Florida where most associations flatly prohibit a trailer in the driveway is an unusual and genuinely useful thing to have inside the gate. Beyond that, residents use the clubhouse, community pool, tennis and basketball courts and the playground.
Assessments are billed once a year and have generally run $680 to $765, with a smaller monthly arrangement near $64 on some parcels. That covers the gate, the common grounds and the amenity access, with off site management. Because the bill arrives annually, it is easy to underestimate at closing, so ask for the current budget, the reserve balance and any assessment history rather than working from a single number.
The market position is upper middle for Bayside Lakes. Values run roughly $430,000 to $570,000 with the center near $515,000, or about $218 a square foot. Houses take their time, closer to two and a half months on average, which is slower than the neighboring gates. Note also that a long held homestead can hold a tax bill far below what a new owner will pay, so budget from your purchase price.

Magnolia Park at Bayside Details
Somewhere To Put The Boat
A boat and RV storage area inside a gated Palm Bay community is uncommon. Most associations in this price band simply ban the trailer and leave you renting a space several miles away. If you own a bay boat or a travel trailer, this single amenity can be the reason you choose Magnolia Park.
Real Lots
A quarter acre to better than a third is a different experience from the tenth acre homesites going in west of here. There is room between houses, room for a pool and a yard, and mature landscaping that took twenty years to get that way. That spacing does not come back once a plat is drawn.
Mostly One Floor
The majority of these houses are single story, which is increasingly hard to find above 2,200 square feet at this price. Buyers who want to avoid stairs without dropping into a smaller footprint tend to shortlist Magnolia Park early and stay there.
Patient Pricing
Homes here average close to two and a half months to sell, longer than the neighboring gates. That cuts both ways. As a buyer you often have time and room to negotiate. As a future seller, plan your timeline accordingly rather than expecting a two week sale.
One Annual Bill
Dues arrive as a single yearly invoice in the $680 to $765 range on most parcels rather than a monthly draft. That is easy to forget in a payment calculation and easy to miss at closing. Confirm what has been paid and what is prorated.
Check The Tax Line
Some of these houses have been held by the same owner since they were new, and a long standing homestead assessment cap can leave a current tax bill well under what a new buyer will owe. Build your budget from your purchase price rather than from the bill on record.

Magnolia Park at Bayside Frequently Asked Questions
Is Magnolia Park gated?
Yes. Entry is a controlled gate at Bramblewood Circle, off Bayside Lakes Boulevard. Once inside, Ridgemont Circle carries most of the homes, with Thornwood Drive and the Devlin Court cul de sac branching off it.
Can I keep a boat or RV here?
The community has a boat and RV storage area, which is unusual for a gated neighborhood in this part of Palm Bay. Confirm current availability, waiting list status and the fee with the association before you count on a space, since capacity is finite.
What is the association and what does it cost?
Magnolia Park at Bayside Lakes Homeowners Association, Inc., registered with the Florida Division of Corporations in 2002. Assessments are generally billed annually in the $680 to $765 range, with a monthly arrangement near $64 on some parcels. Ask for the current budget and reserve position in writing.
How big are the lots?
A quarter acre to better than a third, with the middle around 0.27 of an acre. That is larger than most of the newer construction in southwest Palm Bay and larger than several of the other Bayside Lakes gates, which is a meaningful part of the value here.
Are there water lots?
A few. Several houses look out over a pond and one fronts a non navigable canal. This is not a lake community, so treat a water view as a bonus that carries a premium rather than as something you can count on finding when you want to buy.
Why do homes take longer to sell here?
Time on market runs closer to two and a half months. Part of it is the price band, which is above the volume segment of Palm Bay, and part of it is simply that a village this small produces few comparable sales, so buyers take longer to get comfortable.
What happened to the golf course at Bayside Lakes?
The Majors Golf Club opened in 1999 and closed in June 2022. Its future is unsettled. In July 2026 the Palm Bay City Council voted to negotiate the purchase of roughly 135 acres of the former course for stormwater and park use, but no sale has closed.
How is the commute?
Bayside Lakes Boulevard runs into Emerson Drive and north to Malabar Road and I-95 exit 173, roughly ten to twelve minutes. The St Johns Heritage Parkway gives a second route south to exit 166. Reaching Melbourne Orlando International Airport takes a little over twenty minutes.
Bramblewood Circle, Palm Bay 32909
Magnolia Park sits mid plan inside Bayside Lakes in south Palm Bay. From I-95 exit 173 at Malabar Road you head west to Emerson Drive, then south as Emerson bends into Bayside Lakes Boulevard, and the Bramblewood Circle gate is on the left. Coming up from the south, San Filippo Drive and Cogan Drive get you to the same intersection from the other direction.
Groceries and everyday errands are handled within the community. The Publix at 3450 Bayside Lakes Boulevard SE and the shops around it sit minutes from the gate, and Malabar Road picks up everything else. The interstate is about ten minutes, Melbourne Orlando International Airport twenty to twenty five, and the Atlantic requires a causeway crossing east, since Palm Bay sits on the mainland rather than the barrier island.
