Living in Florida's Space Coast
St Johns Preserve
St Johns Preserve is the largest gated community on St Johns Heritage Parkway, with two entrances off the road and Kylar Drive carrying nearly half its addresses. Landsea Homes opened it, Maronda and Adams built here too, and construction has continued from 2021 into the current year. Houses run 1,635 to 3,230 square feet behind a gate with a community pool and cabana.
St Johns Preserve In Palm Bay, Florida
St Johns Preserve sits on the west side of St Johns Heritage Parkway in northwest Palm Bay, in the 32907 ZIP. There are two ways in. The north entrance is Carrick Street and the other is Pinwherry Street, both directly off the parkway. Inside, Kylar Drive is the spine and carries close to half the addresses, with Soleway Avenue, Bonnyton Lane, Roygaris Street and Carrick filling out the rest.
It was built in phases and by more than one builder, which is unusual and worth knowing. Landsea Homes opened it, sold out a first phase of 40 houses in nine months, and closed on 65 more homesites in a second phase in January 2022 on lots measuring 50 by 120 feet. Maronda Homes and Adams Homes delivered here as well. Landsea now trades as Risewell Homes following a 2025 merger.
Because of that history the housing stock is more varied than a single builder community produces. Houses run 1,635 to 3,230 square feet, three to six bedrooms, two to five baths, with a two car garage standard and a third bay on some plans. Roughly two thirds are single story. Lots are compact, from 0.13 to 0.31 acre with 0.14 typical. Twenty properties front water and about a quarter have a pond in the view.
The association is St. Johns Preserve Homeowners Association, Inc., an active Florida nonprofit, with Omega Community Management appearing on most of the records. That covers the gate, the community pool and cabana, street lights and the maintained common areas.
Typical pricing lands at $408,424 and about $191 a square foot, and the whole range only spans $375,000 to $600,000, which is tight for a community of this size. Watch the tax line closely. Many of these addresses were assessed as vacant land before the house existed, which is why annual figures as low as $151 sit next to others past $7,000 in the same neighborhood.

St Johns Preserve Details
Three Builders In One Plat
Landsea Homes opened the community, Maronda Homes and Adams Homes also delivered here, and Risewell Homes is the current name on the Landsea side after a 2025 merger. That means two houses of similar size on the same street can come from different companies with different warranties, different standard features and different resale histories.
Two Gates Off The Parkway
Carrick Street is the north entrance and Pinwherry Street is the other, both directly onto St Johns Heritage Parkway. Two controlled entries in a community of this size keeps the morning queue short and gives you a route out even when one gate is down, which is a small thing until it is not.
Kylar Drive Is The Neighborhood
Close to half the addresses sit on Kylar Drive. It curves through the middle of the plat and touches most of the water. Knowing where on Kylar a house sits, and whether it backs to a pond, a preserve edge or another house, matters more here than knowing which street it is on.
Small Lots, Real Amenity
Many of these are 50 by 120 foot lots, which is tight for the square footage on them. The trade is the gate, the community pool and cabana, and a price that starts under $400,000. If a big yard is your priority this is the wrong community, and the acreage south along Babcock Street is the right one.
Fred Poppe Regional Park Is Close
The city's 200 acre Fred Poppe Regional Park on Malabar Road NW carries lighted athletic fields, basketball and volleyball courts, a dog park, four fishing lakes, disc golf and trails, plus the 18,000 square foot Ted Whitlock Community Center. That is a substantial public amenity a few minutes from the gate.
The Tax Figure Is Misleading
The low ones are assessments made before the house was finished, so do not build a monthly payment around them. Ask what the assessed value will be once the improvement is fully on the roll.
St Johns Preserve Price Range
These are the figures the public property records carry for homes in St Johns Preserve, not current asking prices, and a single address can sit outside the band for reasons a number will not show you. Dues change, so confirm the current figure for the specific address before you write an offer. Call or text (321) 212-7676 and we will price the exact home you are looking at.

St Johns Preserve Frequently Asked Questions
Who built St Johns Preserve?
Landsea Homes opened the community, selling out a first phase of 40 houses in nine months and closing on 65 more homesites in early 2022. Maronda Homes and Adams Homes have also built here. Landsea now operates as Risewell Homes following a 2025 merger and continues to sell in the community.
Is St Johns Preserve gated?
Yes, with two controlled entrances directly off St Johns Heritage Parkway, at Carrick Street to the north and at Pinwherry Street. Security gate features appear on a large share of the properties, and the gate is part of what the association assessment funds along with the pool and common grounds.
What are the HOA dues?
There is an association here, so budget for dues. The amount and what it covers change from year to year, so I get the current figure, the budget and the reserve study straight from the association before you write an offer.
What amenities does the community have?
A community pool with a cabana, maintained common grounds, sidewalks and street lights inside the gate. It is a straightforward amenity package rather than a resort style one, which is part of why the assessment stays modest for a gated community of this size.
How big are the lots?
Compact. Many are 50 by 120 feet, and the overall range runs 0.13 to 0.31 acre with 0.14 typical. Setbacks are tight, so check the plat before planning a pool, a screen enclosure or a fence. Only a handful of properties in the community currently have a private pool.
Are there waterfront lots?
Twenty properties front water and roughly a quarter of the addresses have a pond somewhere in the view. Water is distributed through the plat rather than concentrated, so pond lots turn up on Kylar Drive and Soleway Avenue rather than being grouped on one edge.
What is nearby?
Fred Poppe Regional Park, 200 acres on Malabar Road NW with athletic fields, courts, a dog park, fishing lakes, disc golf and the Ted Whitlock Community Center. Retail sits along Malabar Road and Palm Bay Road, and the parkway itself connects north to US 192 and south toward I-95.
Kylar Drive NW, Palm Bay 32907
St Johns Preserve is on the west side of St Johns Heritage Parkway in northwest Palm Bay, between US 192 to the north and Malabar Road to the south. From I-95 you can come in at exit 180 to US 192 west, then south on the parkway roughly five miles, or at Malabar Road exit 173 and west to the parkway, then north. Both entrances open straight onto the parkway itself.
The parkway is the practical reason this location works. It was built to route traffic around the older Port Malabar street grid, so getting to US 192, Malabar Road or the interstate does not mean driving through the middle of the city. Melbourne is roughly twenty five minutes and Viera a little further. Palm Bay is inland, so the ocean means heading east and crossing a causeway.
