About Indian River Preserve
Mims · Brevard County, Florida
Indian River Preserve is a new construction community in Mims, Brevard County — DR Horton scenic neighborhood within Indian River Preserve Golf Course Community. Pricing starts with Upper Mid-Range pricing as of May 2026.
D.R. Horton's presence within the Indian River Preserve Golf Course community gives buyers access to a golf-course setting at an attainable price point — a combination that is genuinely difficult to find in coastal Florida. D.R. Horton's construction standards, warranty program, and smart home technology package are included at the standard production builder price.
Mims offers Space Coast lifestyle at a price point below the more developed Melbourne and Palm Bay markets. The Indian River Preserve Golf Course community provides a naturally scenic setting — pond views, preserve buffers, and the golf course fairways create a visual environment that contrasts favorably with denser urban subdivisions. North Brevard County's employment growth story, driven by Kennedy Space Center and commercial space activities, adds long-term demand support to the Mims residential market.
Builder Incentives & Current Pricing
Builder incentives — closing cost assistance, rate buydowns, design center credits, and preferred lender programs — change frequently and are often not published online. A local specialist can help you identify the current incentive stack and negotiate effectively on your behalf.
Important: Register buyer representation with your specialist before visiting the DR Horton sales office — representation rights must be established on or before your first visit to the builder.
