We were just reading about the tragic accident involving a little two year old girl whose legs were cut off when she slipped while running and slid under her dad's riding lawnmower in Palm Bay Florida. We couldn't remember where Palm Bay was........so I looked it up and my husband was correct, it's near Melbourne,Florida not far from where we lived in Satellite Beach , Florida. Anyway, checked out Palm Bay and nice website came up.

One thing led to another and we came across another master planned community with sports complex(baseball, etc.) which seems to be for all ages.


Funny, but we have never heard of it at all......anyone been there???

Seems that a lot of the homes are built around either manmade lakes or real lakes.......the first house we saw had the pool and birdcage coming right out to the lake...........the prices were comparable to TV....but didn't mention anything about golf cart paths, and I saw no golf cart garages.

Lots of churches, schools, shopping, etc...........just wondering if anyone saw that area? Thanks in advance. VIERA in Slovac language means FAITH. Name of family who developed it is Dudek.....and they were of Slovac ethnicity. It appears to have lots of horses and cattle ranches too.
Viera

We have friends that live in Viera. It does not compare to TV. No golf cart access to the commercial areas and many of the residents are not Retirees. Viera is a planned community----I do not know if any of it is a Community Development District but I do know that where our friends live in Viera is NOT a CDD. It is close to the beaches----a plus for those who love the beach.
