The Lakes At Viera East, Florida
Free RV and boat storage inside a gated condominium community is not a common combination anywhere in Brevard, and it is the single most useful thing to know about The Lakes at Viera East. If you own a boat or a camper and you are looking at condominium living, this changes your monthly math considerably against paying for outside storage.
Built in 2002 to 2003 on Sophias Drive, south off Murrell Road from Viera Boulevard. Units run one, two and three bedroom from about 679 square feet upward. The amenity set includes a resort-style heated pool, a fitness center, a jogging trail, a putting green, barbecue grills, a clubhouse and a car wash area.
The dues cover cable television, common electric, lawn care and pest control, which is a specific and useful list to have in writing. Residents also get discounted rates at both Duran and the Viera East Golf Club.
Do not confuse this with The Greens at Viera East. They are two separate condominium communities in Viera East with different associations, different build years and different locations, and listings mix them up regularly. The Greens was built in 1998 on Long Iron Drive. This one is Sophias Drive, 2002 to 2003.
