Talk to a Specialist →Rural Brevard at Manufactured Prices
Malabar sits south of Melbourne and Palm Bay, where the commercial development thins and the landscape opens into the rural character that defined all of south Brevard before the construction boom. Enchanted Lakes is a manufactured 55+ community in this setting — affordable housing in a location where your nearest neighbor may be a great blue heron rather than another homeowner.
Manufactured communities in rural settings like Malabar offer the lowest entry prices in Brevard County. For retirees whose priority is affordability above all else — who need a safe, clean home in Florida at the absolute lowest possible cost — communities like Enchanted Lakes exist to make that possible. The amenities are modest. The location is remote by Brevard standards. But the monthly carrying cost can make the difference between retiring comfortably and not retiring at all.
