HOA Fees and Financial Obligations HOA fees are relatively low compared to larger master-planned communities, reported between $173 and $208 per month depending on the source and recent updates (e.g., $175 or $208 as of early 2024 data). These fees primarily support maintenance of common areas, including the community dock where applicable. No CDD fees are mentioned. One public records search indicated no formally registered HOA entity in Florida state filings, but real estate listings consistently reference active HOA obligations and fees.
Rules and Regulations Specific governing documents or detailed rules are not publicly detailed in available sources. As a small waterfront community, regulations likely focus on maintaining property standards, dock usage, and river access compatibility rather than extensive amenity rules. Residents should verify current covenants directly with the association.

A small community dock serves select lots. The lifestyle centers on privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to Port St. Lucie's coastal attractions without the density of larger developments.
