Discover the Lifestyle of Palm Cove Reserve Homes

Palm Cove Reserve is a future residential community planned near the northwest corner of East Palm Drive and SE 12th Avenue in Homestead. The development will bring 296 single-family residences to a roughly 54-acre site on the southeastern side of the city, with convenient connections to US-1, the Florida Turnpike, Downtown Homestead, Florida City, and the gateway to the Florida Keys.

The project has evolved since it was first introduced as a townhome development in 2023. Current approved plans identify Palm Cove Reserve as a 296-unit single-family residential subdivision. Buyers following Palm Cove Reserve Homes for Sale should consider it a future development, as individual home collections, pricing, release dates, and final sales information have not yet been announced.

About Palm Cove Reserve

Palm Cove Reserve is planned on approximately 54.45 acres near East Palm Drive, also known as SW 344th Street, and SE 12th Avenue, also known as Tennessee Road. The property sits close to the Homestead-Florida City boundary and established residential communities east of Downtown Homestead.

Current plans call for 296 single-family residences. Lennar Homes is associated with the project’s current final plat application, marking an important change from the development team and townhome concept presented when Palm Cove Reserve was initially proposed.

The community is expected to include new internal roads, landscaping, stormwater infrastructure, utilities, open spaces, and other improvements needed to support the residential neighborhood. Final home designs and the individual residential collections have not yet been publicly established.

History of Palm Cove Reserve

Palm Cove Reserve first received wider attention in 2023, when plans were submitted for 296 townhomes on approximately 59 acres. That early concept called for two-story residences along with a clubhouse and resort-style swimming pool.

The development subsequently changed. In March 2024, the City of Homestead approved a Palm Cove Reserve residential subdivision containing 296 dwelling units. More recent city records describe the development as 296 single-family residences rather than the townhome community presented in the original proposal.

The project’s infrastructure and financing structure also advanced during 2025. Plans were introduced to incorporate the approximately 54.45-acre Palm Cove Reserve property into the existing Palm Gate Community Development District, which originated on adjacent land in Florida City. The district structure is intended to support infrastructure such as roads, utilities, stormwater systems, landscaping, parks, and open spaces.

By spring 2026, Lennar Homes was listed as the applicant for the Palm Cove Reserve final plat. City development tracking showed the 296-home project progressing through multiple rounds of Development Review Committee review. Palm Cove Reserve therefore remains a future community, with additional platting, infrastructure, construction, and homebuilding activity still to come.

Amenities

The original 2023 Palm Cove Reserve proposal contemplated a resort-style pool and clubhouse. Because the project has since changed from a townhome concept to an approved single-family subdivision, those earlier amenities should not be treated as confirmed features of the current development.

Current planning and district documents allow for community infrastructure and improvements that may include:

• Parks and open spaces
• Landscaped common areas
• Internal roadways
• Stormwater management infrastructure
• Water and sewer infrastructure
• Right-of-way landscaping

A final private residential amenity program has not yet been announced. Features such as a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center, playground, or sports courts should be confirmed when Lennar releases the community’s residential plans.

Outside the development, Palm Cove Reserve is positioned for access to Downtown Homestead, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Homestead Bayfront Park, Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and the Florida Keys. Shopping, restaurants, and everyday services are available along US-1 and throughout Homestead and neighboring Florida City.
