A relaxing suburban lifestyle with easy access to the greater Palm Bay area's amenities
Northwest Palm Bay residents enjoy a relaxing suburban lifestyle, living in houses on tree-filled yards. Locals have access to the greater Palm Bay area's amenities without being directly in the hustle-and-bustle of a shopping-centric or coastal area. They're just a short drive away from the beach and the Indian Riverfront, making waterfront activities and restaurants like the Lazy Turtle Riverfront Grill and Tiki Bar easily accessible. For a change of pace, locals can head to one of the various parks scattered throughout the Palm Bay area, like the Turkey Creek Sanctuary. Ranch-style properties line the streets here, and new developments are common. Olga Medina, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has sold multiple homes in the area, says, "Many come to this neighborhood for Heritage High's amenities, and with the new I-95 Interchange at St. Johns Heritage Parkway, the school and other Palm Bay's amenities will be even more accessible.”
Ranch-style properties on tree-filled yards
Ranch-style properties, ranging from 1990s homes that feature exposed brick exteriors to new, contemporary builds with open layouts, line the narrow streets here. They go for upwards of $200,000 to upwards of $500,000 depending on their age, size and location. Properties sit on well-maintained tree-filled yards. Many older homes have been recently remodeled, and residents have opted to paint them vibrant colors ranging from bright blues to vibrant pinks; newer properties are often neutrally colored. Residents can take advantage of paved driveways and attached garages, with some homes having amenities like inground pools and solar panels. Many properties in the area also have hurricane shutters to protect residents from Florida's storm-prone weather.
Modern and contemporary ranch-style homes can be seen throughout the area.

Canoeing, hiking and hunting
Northwest Palm Bay locals can take advantage of the many parks scattered throughout Palm Bay. Visitors of parks like Lynbrook Park and Lynne Manion Nungesser Park enjoy challenging their friends to a game on the basketball and baseball fields, and kids enjoy the playgrounds. The Turkey Creek Sanctuary is a favorite among many Palm Bay locals. Visitors can enjoy hiking under hammocks of hardwood trees, and birdwatchers can try to spot different migratory birds here. Locals wanting to spend the day canoeing and fishing can head to the Three Forks Conservation Area for easy access to the St. John's River. Alligators are often spotted in the river's waters, so visitors should watch their surroundings. Outdoor enthusiasts can hike on trails that meander through sawgrass marshes, and hunters can try to catch animals like waterfowl. To practice their aim, hunters will want to head to the nearby Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club.
