Summerfield at Bayside

Summerfield at Bayside In Palm Bay, Florida

Summerfield at Bayside Lakes Homeowners Association, Inc. was registered with the Florida Division of Corporations in 1999, which makes it the oldest of the gated village associations inside the Bayside Lakes plan. It predates Bridgewater by two years, Magnolia Park by three and Fairway Crossings by five. The neighborhood was platted in three phases, and Windbrook Drive is the spine that carries almost all of it, with Yellow Wood Court, Easterwood Court and Gardenbrook Court branching off.

Where the other villages went up in a two or three year production push, Summerfield was built house by house across twenty four years. That is the single most important thing to understand here. A 2000 build and a 2024 build sit on the same street. Some are conventional four bedroom plans and others are one off custom houses with courtyard driveways, three car garages, marble and impact glass. There is no standard product.

The lots vary as much as the houses. Homesites run from a little over a fifth of an acre to 1.13 acres, with the middle near four tenths, which is generous for a gated subdivision in Palm Bay. Well over half the houses have a screened in ground pool, three car garages are the norm rather than the exception, and stucco exteriors are universal across the neighborhood.

Assessments are billed annually and have generally run $611 to $677. That covers the gate, common grounds and access to the Bayside Lakes amenity package, which is unusually deep: clubhouse, community pool, tennis and basketball courts, a fitness room, shuffleboard and a playground. Administration has been handled by Artemis Lifestyles, a Florida community management firm formed when Titan Management and Aegis Community Management Solutions combined operations.

Prices run from the low $370,000s to $950,000 with the middle near $572,000, or roughly $216 a square foot, and houses take about two months to sell. Both of those figures deserve a caveat. In a neighborhood where no two houses match, an average tells you very little, and the appraisal on any given contract can be genuinely difficult. Expect to defend your number with specific, carefully chosen comparisons.
