Do you dream of living the quintessential Florida lifestyle, near sandy beaches, sparkling waters, and peaceful nature sanctuaries? Exciting news - Highland Homes is growing and bringing our signature quality and value to Florida's Space Coast, with the introduction of new homes in Palm Bay, Florida!
Whether you are moving to our beautiful state, purchasing your first home, or seeking a retirement paradise, The Collection at Palm Bay provides a desirable address in an established residential area, with large home sites, no HOA, and attainable pricing.
About the Space Coast

Located on Florida's East Coast, approximately halfway between Jacksonville and Miami, the Palm Bay-Melbourne area is known as Florida's Space Coast because it is home to the John F. Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex. The region has a strong aerospace industry presence, along with military installations including Patrick Air Force Base, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, the U.S. Air Force Malabar Test Facility, and a United States Coast Guard station. This provides a strong economy and employment opportunities not only in the aerospace and military realms, but also in communications, manufacturing, and healthcare/social assistance.
With a more affordable cost of living than other coastal regions of Florida, living on the Space Coast provides a coastal lifestyle at a price you can afford, with employment opportunities to help you grow and thrive.
Living in Palm Bay, Florida
The Space Coast is unofficially divided into three areas, with the South County area of Melbourne, Grant-Valkaria, and Palm Bay considered the most desirable to live in, thanks to beach access, urban amenities, and vibrant communities.
Our new homes in Palm Bay are located in an established residential area west of I-95 and Grant-Valkaria. Away from hustle and bustle, you'll find peaceful surroundings, trees rustling in the breeze, and ample green spaces close to home. Living here, you are inland from coastal storm impacts, yet you'll appreciate convenient access to waterfront destinations:
- Boat ramps and marinas, such as Christenson's Landing boat ramp, John Jorgensen's Landing boat ramp, and Treasure Coast Marina, are about 8 miles from home.
- Waterfront parks on the Indian River Lagoon, including Riverview Park, Castaways Point Park, and Fisherman's Landing Park, are within 9 miles.
- Cross the Melbourne Causeway to visit Melbourne Beach, about a 15-mile drive.
In addition, daily conveniences are close to home, including Publix Super Market at Bayside Lakes (2.8 miles), Health First Palm Bay Hospital (6.4 miles), and dining options ranging from casual eats to lively, waterside destinations. And, homes in The Collection at Palm Bay are convenient to major roadways and employment areas:
- I-95 (at St. John's Heritage Pkwy) - 6.5 miles
- Melbourne Orlando International Airport - 12 miles
- Downtown Melbourne - 13 miles
Overall, living in Palm Bay offers excellent work-life balance, with a friendly community atmosphere, beaches and outdoor recreation, and vibrant dining and entertainment, combined with a strong economy and employment opportunities.
