About Sawgrass Lakes
West Melbourne · Brevard County, Florida
Sawgrass Lakes is D.R. Horton's flagship master-planned community in West Melbourne, Brevard County — a large-scale development built around two freshwater lakes with nearly 1,000 homes across multiple distinct neighborhoods. Active new construction is currently available in The Landings, starting from the low $300s. The community is anchored by a 9.5-acre resort recreation complex and 8,000 sq ft Grand Clubhouse — an amenity campus that rivals resort communities at significantly higher price points.
Sawgrass Lakes is a large-scale master-planned community developed by D.R. Horton across multiple distinct neighborhoods — The Landings (currently active new construction), The Meadows, The Sanctuary (premium lakefront), The Preserves, and The Savannahs (a 55+ gated section). This multi-phase structure means buyers have genuine choice within a single community address: resale in established sections, new construction in The Landings, and premium lakefront lots in The Sanctuary. A local specialist can walk you through the current availability across all active phases.
The community's 9.5-acre recreation complex is a genuine differentiator at this price point — the lagoon-style pool, clubhouse, pickleball, tennis, volleyball, outdoor movie area, and lakefront pier collectively create a resort lifestyle that most communities below the $400k mark cannot match. Two large freshwater lakes run through the community, providing waterfront lot options throughout the neighborhood and a scenic setting that makes Sawgrass Lakes one of West Melbourne's most visually distinctive new construction addresses.
Builder Incentives & The Landings — Current Phase
The Landings is the currently active new construction phase at Sawgrass Lakes. D.R. Horton regularly offers closing cost assistance, rate buydown programs, and preferred lender incentives that change by month and phase. A local specialist can identify the current incentive stack and confirm which lots and floor plans are available.
Important: Register buyer representation with your specialist before visiting the D.R. Horton sales office at Sawgrass Lakes — representation rights must be established on or before your first visit to the builder.

Why Choose Sawgrass Lakes?
Key reasons buyers are choosing this West Melbourne master-planned community
9.5-Acre Resort Recreation Complex
The Club at Sawgrass Lakes' 8,000 sq ft Grand Clubhouse plus 9.5-acre outdoor amenity campus — resort pool, pickleball, tennis, sand volleyball, fire pit, outdoor movie area, and lakefront pier — is a rare amenity package at the low-to-mid $300s price range.
Multi-Phase Master Plan
With multiple sub-neighborhoods at different price points — The Landings (new construction from low $300s), The Sanctuary (premium lakefront), and The Savannahs (55+ gated section) — Sawgrass Lakes can accommodate a wide range of buyers within a single cohesive community.
Lakefront Setting Throughout
Two large freshwater lakes and numerous smaller ponds run through the community. Many lots offer direct water views or waterfront frontage — a lifestyle amenity that commands a premium in most Florida communities but is naturally integrated into Sawgrass Lakes' layout.
