Living in Florida's Space Coast
Tuscany Estates
Tuscany Estates is eighteen homesites on a single cul de sac, Via Catalano Court NE, entered from Minton Road just south of Palm Bay Road. LifeStyle Homes built all of it from its Estate Collection between 2014 and 2016. Four bedrooms, three baths and a three car garage is the standard here, and price per square foot is the highest in this part of Palm Bay.
Tuscany Estates In Palm Bay, Florida
Eighteen lots, one street, one builder, one way in and one way out. Via Catalano Court NE runs off Minton Road about four tenths of a mile south of Palm Bay Road NE and ends in a cul de sac. That is the entire community. Listings describe it as gated, and the single entrance is part of why it reads as private despite sitting inside one of the busier corners of the 32907 zip.
The paperwork tells a familiar Brevard County story. Tuscany Estates Homeowners' Association of Brevard, Inc. was registered with the Florida Division of Corporations in 2005 and remains active, but the houses did not arrive until 2014. The plat sat through the downturn. When building resumed, LifeStyle Homes took the whole thing and delivered its Estate Collection here, including the Santa Cruz plan, finishing out around 2016.
One builder across a decade compressed into three years produces unusual consistency. Houses run 2,387 to 2,637 square feet, four bedrooms plus an office, three full baths, three car garages, mostly single story with soaring ceilings, tray detailing, crown molding and real wood flooring. The price band is remarkably narrow, roughly $610,000 to $670,000. There is very little spread here, which is rare and which makes valuation straightforward.
The outdoor build out is the distinguishing feature. Saltwater pools with gas heat, screen enclosures, fenced pool decks, summer kitchens and outdoor cooking areas show up repeatedly rather than occasionally. Lots run 0.29 acres up to 0.66 on the largest parcel, and three of the parcels sit on the cul de sac itself where the geometry widens the rear yard. That is where the pool and outdoor kitchen combinations tend to be.
Annual dues run $800 to $1,000, billed once a year. There is no clubhouse, no community pool and no tennis court, so that money maintains the entrance, the street and the common landscaping. Houses here go under contract quickly, often within about two weeks and sometimes without ever reaching a wide audience. With eighteen lots total, a year can pass with nothing available.

Tuscany Estates Details
Eighteen Lots And No More
There is no phase two and no adjacent parcel waiting for a builder: eighteen homesites on one cul de sac is the permanent size of this community. That scarcity is why houses sell in about two weeks and why entire years pass with no availability. If you want in, you watch it continuously rather than casually.
One Builder, One Era
LifeStyle Homes built the whole thing from its Estate Collection between 2014 and 2016. Every roof, every slab and every mechanical system is roughly the same age, which makes the maintenance calendar predictable and the comparison between two houses genuinely fair. It also means when one system reaches end of life, several neighbors are facing the same bill.
The Outdoor Rooms
Saltwater pools with gas heat, screen enclosures, fenced decks, waterfalls with color changing lighting and full summer kitchens turn up here more than they do in comparable Palm Bay communities. Buyers who bought on this street generally spent on the back yard. When you compare two listings, compare the lanais as carefully as the kitchens.
Registered In 2005, Built In 2014
The homeowners association was registered with Florida in 2005 and the plat then waited out the downturn. Nine years later LifeStyle Homes built it out. The result is a mid 2000s lot layout, which is why parcels here are larger than what a 2014 production subdivision would have platted, carrying 2014 to 2016 construction.
Three Car Garages, Every House
Not an option, not an upgrade tier. Every house on Via Catalano Court NE has a three car garage, several of them with the third bay on a side entry. On lots starting near a third of an acre, that combination is genuinely hard to find at this price point anywhere else in the middle of Palm Bay.
Dues Without Amenities
Between $800 and $1,000 a year with no clubhouse, no pool and no courts. The money goes to the entrance, the private street and the landscaping. Whether that is fair depends entirely on how you would have used a shared amenity, but the arithmetic is transparent and there is not much that can go wrong with it.

Tuscany Estates Frequently Asked Questions
How many houses are in Tuscany Estates?
Eighteen homesites, all on Via Catalano Court NE, with one entrance and one exit. There is no additional phase. That fixed size is the defining feature of the community and the reason availability is so limited.
Who built Tuscany Estates?
LifeStyle Homes built the entire community from its Estate Collection, delivering the houses between 2014 and 2016. The Santa Cruz plan, a four bedroom three bath three car garage layout, is among the models built here. A single builder across a short window produced unusual consistency from house to house.
Is Tuscany Estates gated?
Listings consistently describe it as a gated community with a single entrance and exit off Minton Road. Confirm the current gate arrangement and how access codes are issued with the association before closing, since a small association can change its entry setup more easily than a large one.
What are the annual dues?
Between $800 and $1,000 a year, billed annually by Tuscany Estates Homeowners' Association of Brevard, Inc., a Florida nonprofit registered in 2005 and currently active. There is no clubhouse, pool or court to fund, so the assessment covers the entrance, the street and common landscaping.
Why does Tuscany Estates cost more per square foot?
About $250 a foot, driven by scarcity and by finish level rather than by size. Eighteen houses, a single builder, three car garages as standard, and back yards built out with heated saltwater pools and summer kitchens. You are paying for a short supply of a specific product, not for extra square footage.
How big are the lots?
From 0.29 acres up to 0.66 on the largest parcel, with roughly a third of an acre typical. The cul de sac lots widen at the rear, which is where most of the pool and outdoor kitchen build outs went. That lot pattern reflects a plat drawn in the mid 2000s rather than in the 2010s.
Do the houses have pools?
About half do, and the ones that do tend to be substantial: saltwater, gas heated, screen enclosed, some with fenced decks, waterfalls and color changing lighting. Summer kitchens are common alongside them. Ask for equipment age and resurfacing history on any pool built with the house.
How fast do houses sell here?
Quickly. Under contract in about two weeks is typical, and with only eighteen lots the community can go long stretches with nothing on the market at all. Have financing arranged before you start watching, because there is rarely time to organize it after a listing appears.
Via Catalano Court NE, Palm Bay 32907
Tuscany Estates sits in the 32907 zip in the middle of Palm Bay, on the east side of Minton Road roughly four tenths of a mile south of Palm Bay Road NE. From I-95 exit 176 you take Palm Bay Road west, turn south on Minton Road, and the entrance is the first turn on the left onto Via Catalano Court NE. The street ends in the cul de sac where the largest lots sit.
The location is the practical argument for the price. Palm Bay Road NE and the Minton Road corridor put groceries, fuel and everyday retail within a few minutes, I-95 exit 176 is a short run east, and the Hammock Landing shopping area at Palm Bay Road and I-95 in West Melbourne is close by. Melbourne is a straight shot north. The beach remains the long errand, east and over a causeway.

Considering Tuscany Estates?
Eighteen lots means you cannot shop this community on a schedule. You watch it, and when something comes up you are ready that week or you are not buying. Knowing which of those eighteen houses has the deep cul de sac lot, the finished summer kitchen and the pool worth having is the difference. My partner Nichole and I keep track of this street.
