~ VERO LAKE ESTATES aka VLE ~
PROPERTY VALUES ARE ON THE RISE WITH VERY FEW HOMES FOR SALE...(18 at the writing of this article)....
VLE (Vero Lake Estates) is the largest subdivision in Indian River County. It was developed in very early 1950's; because it was located "so far west" the subdivision did not develop as predicted. It was a huge flop. A few homes were built on the 6000 home sites.
Since the building boom which busted and now booms again, 2600 homes have been built in VLE; lots are 1/4 to 5-acres. VLE is a now prime location and the homes are flying off this shelf. It turns out VLE is perfectly located close to all schools, the library and a new Publix shopping center.....One could say all roads lead to VLE. 95, 510 and 512 are just outside the community.
A short drive to a new PUBLIX shopping plaza brings you past a cow pasture where twice a year wild turkeys land. Looking for the beach; just take 510 east and enjoy the most breathtaking ride over the river. The Library is on 512, so is the amazing county pool. 512 drops you off at Riverview Park where you will find something going on most weekends. Put yourself in the car and drive about 10 miles to the Vero Beach Discount Mall or to the Indian River Mall.
The community has a voluntary HOA. It is $20.00 to join for the year. The voluntary Homeowner's Association has quarterly meetings and if you paid $20.00 or not you are invited to attend. Guest speakers include our Sheriff Loar, county commissioners, and any individual that has information of interest for the community. All homeowners are welcomed and all homeowners are heard. Once a year the community hosts a community event again all are welcomed.
What makes VLE special? Everyone has their own answer; I love it because my home is nestled in trees. I do not mind the very short drive on a dirt road or the lack of neighbors or cars on my road. I have a country feel and yet live close to everything. Others love it because they have room for their toys; boats, dirt bikes, motor homes and the like. The stars are amazing. Children have room to play or roam on their bikes and skateboards. There are lots of families and lots of neighbors looking out for one another. One homeowner cleared a lot and made a baseball diamond for his children to use as well as neighbors. Joggers line the roads water bottles in hand, as well as bike riders, dog walkers and neighbors out for a stroll. It is common occurance to see cars stop to assist tortoises cross the road. Neighbors wave and you are often at a 4 way stop with another polite driver waving you to go first.
The community has county transportation...it is not Manhattan transportation but the buses are free and do run in a timely manner.
Most the residents in VLE recycle and once a week you will see rows and rows of blue bins showing that our neighborhood cares about our environment. The homes are on septic and the majority of us have fresh well water.
If you are looking for something special and VLE sounds’ interesting it is only natural that you investigate. Some say Location, Location, Location…..I say FUTURE location, FUTURE location, FUTURE location. This is Mary Lou Ciambriello, proud member of Coldwell Banker Paradise saying your (FUTURE) location just might be in VLE, a wonderful community whose time has finally arrived.
