About The Savannahs
The Savannahs offers intimate 55+ living in West Melbourne, with just 125 homes in a gated setting built by D.R. Horton. The community provides a quieter alternative to the larger active adult communities in Viera, appealing to residents who prefer a smaller, more tight-knit neighborhood. Homes feature single-story designs ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 square feet with covered patios, two-car garages, and energy-efficient construction. The location along the Minton Road corridor provides convenient access to Hammock Landing shopping center, medical offices, restaurants, and the I-95 interchange. Because of the relatively small footprint of these homes, smart space optimization through remodeling is especially impactful. Kitchen upgrades that maximize counter and storage space, bathroom renovations that improve both functionality and safety, and custom closet systems that double usable storage are the most common requests. The smaller community also means less HOA complexity - modifications are reviewed quickly and approval turnaround is typically faster than in larger communities.

These targeted upgrades transform compact floor plans into homes that live much larger than their square footage.
