The Meadows at Martin Downs is a family-friendly gated residential community very well situated in Palm City, Florida. There are 832 homes consisting of single-family homes, duplexes, 4-unit townhouses, and 4-unit patio homes. The Meadows community is divided into 6 distinct villages which are named: Greenwich, Lakemont, Mayflower, Brighton, Foxboro, and Ridgewood.

The Meadows is a guard-gated community with round-the-clock security.  Residents of the meadows enjoy a large heated swimming pool, a tot pool, a children’s playground adjacent to the pool, basketball, 3 lighted tennis courts, a horseshoe pit, and 2 bocce courts.  Near the entrance of the Meadows, between the gatehouse and the fountain, is a 2200-square-foot recreation center, known as The Meadows House, which also houses the administrative offices of The Meadows Homeowners Association.

The Meadows came into existence through the efforts of local developer Peter Cumming who submitted the plans for the community around 1988.  Shortly thereafter, Burg and DiVosta (soon to be just DiVosta) began developing the land in the area called Martin Downs for the soon-to-be-constructed villages of The Meadows.

Meadows History:

Divosta started construction on the site known as The Meadows in 1988 by building two structures from which to sell. One was a single-family home (Hampton) in what is now known as Greenwich Village, and the other was a four-unit Town-Home building (Stamford) in what is now known as Lakemont Village. Both types of homes were started in The Meadows at about the same time in 1988.  DiVosta completed the Meadows in 1993 and turned the administration and running of the community to The Meadows Homeowners Association which runs the community through elected officers as well as full-time support staff.

HOA fees in the meadows vary by the type of home, so please look at the listing details view when checking available Meadows homes for sale.  The Meadows is not age-restricted and currently allows up to 2 large pets.  Rentals are also allowed with some restrictions.

Children currently attend the Bessey Creek Elementary School, the Hidden Oaks Middle School; and the Martin County High School.

Additional Tesoro Information: 

Currently, there are numerous opportunities for new custom homes built to your specifications or a good number of available resale homes.  Golf Club membership is not mandatory in certain sections of Tesoro so HOA fees vary considerably from area to area.  For non-membership lots, it starts around $580 a month and includes lawn, landscaping, 24-hour monitored security, basic cable TV, management, and exterior pest control.

Tesoro Clubhouse

Tesoro Update:  As of early summer 2019 the owner of the Tesoro Golf Club has shut down the golf course and the clubhouse.  Talks are ongoing as of this writing as to whether the club and clubhouse will be sold and re-opened under new ownership

Florida Townhouses and Condos February 2024 Market Report

Florida Townhouses and Condos February 2024 Market Report

Florida Townhouses and Condos real estate market report had weaker sales activity when compared to last year. The inventory numbers continue to grow, but we are facing headwinds with economic uncertainties, though mortgage rates appear to have peaked and starting to decrease. I expect the market to improve and a gradual return to a historically normal real estate market. Closed sales were down by 2.5% compared to last month’s decrease of 1.2%.  New sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 4.8% (In January, there was a 8.5% decrease).

Prices were up for February compared to last year. The median sales price was up by 3.2% for February (was also up by 3.2% in January). And the average sales price increased by 3.4% (was up by 3.0% in January).

The inventory of active listings increased by 73.3% from February last year.  This results in a 6.3 months supply of inventory as compared to 3.2 months for February 2023.  We have entered into a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales after a really long period of a seller’s market.  A balanced market favoring neither buyers nor sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 months supply of inventory.
