Suntree, FL Area Guide
Suntree is a large, established master-planned community in unincorporated Melbourne, built out mostly between the 1970s and 2000s (median year built around 1994) along the North Wickham Road corridor between Melbourne and Viera. With roughly 6,470 homes spread across dozens of named sub-neighborhoods — from golf-course estates to maintenance-free villas and condos — it’s more mature and varied than Brevard’s newer master-planned communities, with larger lots and a mature tree canopy.
Community & Amenities
Suntree Country Club anchors the community with 36 holes of championship golf designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Arnold Palmer, plus tennis and pickleball courts. A network of more than 45 miles of interconnected lakes, parks, and walking trails runs throughout, including Rotary Park at Suntree (trails, a playground, a dog park, and a butterfly garden) and the Brevard Zoo Linear Park Trail. Wickham Road’s shopping corridor — Publix, Target, and dozens of restaurants — sits within the community.
Homes, Condos & Communities
Suntree isn’t one builder or one subdivision — it’s a collection of many distinct sub-neighborhoods (Suntree Woods, Holiday Springs, Lake Pointe, the golf-course Enclaves, and Cypress Cove’s condos among them), each with its own architecture and price point. Based on current MLS listings, single-family homes have sold in the $290,000–$670,000 range (roughly 1,500–2,400 sq ft), with condos and villas typically priced lower and golf-course estates running well above $1 million.
Schools
Based on current MLS records for Suntree listings, most homes are zoned for Suntree Elementary (Quest Elementary and Viera Elementary also serve parts of the community) and DeLaura Middle School, with Viera High School unanimous across every listing checked. School zoning can vary by exact address and does change over time — confirm current boundaries directly with Brevard Public Schools before buying with a specific school in mind.
HOA & Community Fees
Suntree has one master association plus a separate HOA for each of its many sub-neighborhoods, so fees vary significantly by address — based on current MLS listings, roughly $250 to $1,250 per year depending on the specific sub-neighborhood and what it covers. Always confirm the exact fee on the specific listing you’re considering.
