Adjacent to the Pines is the smaller community of Windemere and the Preserves. D.R. Horton has recently completed building brand new homes in both the Pines and Windemere subdivisions at some very affordable prices.

When these developments were planned the original intent was to combine the two for ease of access. However, the County decided to nix these plans as they felt that out of area residents would use Windemere Drive as a shortcut between US-1 and Jensen Beach and making a lot of congestion in this community.
