Living in Fox Grove / Meadow Run, Palm City FL: Homes, Schools & Lifestyle

What Fox Grove / Meadow Run Actually Is

Fox Grove is a small estate enclave on roughly five-acre homesites in Palm City. The MLS files its homes under several names: Fox Grove, Meadow Run at Fox Grove, and "Fox Grove (aka Meadow Run)". If you searched "Meadow Run Palm City" and landed on Parkland, that is a different community in Broward County, ZIP 33076.

Every active and sold home in my pull sits on a lot between 5.00 and 5.11 acres. Homes run 3 to 5 bedrooms and about 4,660 to 7,145 square feet, with years built from 2011 to 2023, plus one active listing showing 2027. Listing remarks on a vacant lot in the community describe a gated enclave, custom homes from your own plans with a 3,000 square foot minimum, and horses allowed, with no other farm animals. Those are listing remarks, not HOA documents, so get the covenants in writing before you count on any of it.

Palm City has other estate and golf pockets you can compare, like Westwood Country Estates and Cobblestone. Both are separate communities with their own rules and price points.

Fox Grove HOA Fees: What's Included?

Association fees on active and sold homes read $165 to $200. The listing agents entered those figures, and the MLS does not state the billing period or what the fee covers. Ask the association which amenities, if any, the fee covers and who manages the community.

Before an offer, ask for the declaration, the budget, reserves, any pending assessment, and the road maintenance arrangement. A shared private road can mean a shared bill.

Schools

Flexmls listings in Fox Grove / Meadow Run show Citrus Grove Elementary, Hidden Oaks Middle School and South Fork High School (sampled 16 listings with school entries across SW Stoneybrook Way, SW Saddlebrook Lane and SW Briarbrook Way, checked 2026-10-23; 15 of 16 agree, and one older 2024 entry for a home on SW Stoneybrook Way listed Murray Middle and Martin County High instead). The schools are in the Martin County School District, not Palm Beach County. Martin County School District publishes the official attendance zone map on its attendance boundaries page, so confirm your exact address there or by calling the district at 772-219-1200.

Private and charter options exist in the Stuart and Palm City area. Grades served and admission rules differ school to school, so ask each one directly.

Fox Grove Home Prices and Market Evidence

Source: Flexmls single-family pull for subdivisions named Fox Grove, Meadow Run at Fox Grove and Fox Grove (aka Meadow Run), city Palm City, ZIP 34990, run October 23, 2026. Closed sales cover the 12 months back to October 23, 2025.

• Active (3): $2.2 million (3 bed, 4,911 sq ft, 5.11 acres, 12 days on market), $2.995 million (5 bed, 5,727 sq ft, 90 days), and $3.5 million (5 bed, 5,499 sq ft, year built shown as 2027, 86 days).
• Sold in 12 months (3): $3.5 million on May 8, 2026 (5,977 sq ft), $1.95 million on December 1, 2025 (5,727 sq ft), and $1.5 million on November 7, 2025 (4,662 sq ft). Three sales is too small a sample for a median, so read them as individual data points.
• Price per square foot: sold $322 to $586. Active asking $448 to $636.
• Going back 24 months adds $2.65 million (February 14, 2025, listed at $2.8 million) and $2.6 million (December 5, 2024, listed at $2.745 million).

One detail matters. The 5,727 square foot home at 3865 SW Stoneybrook Way sold for $1.95 million on December 1, 2025 and is now listed at $2.995 million. No sale has confirmed that price yet. With three sales in a year, one closing can move the whole picture, and price per square foot is a weak guide on estates because lot, finish and outbuildings change value more than house size does. Use Fox Grove as its own category, not as a Palm City average. The Palm City homes for sale page shows the wider market, where the median is far lower.

Ownership Costs: HOA, Property Tax and Insurance

HOA is the $165 to $200 figure above, with the period and inclusions to be confirmed. Property tax is a separate cost. Ask me for the tax history on the specific address or check the Martin County Property Appraiser before you budget. Insurance is a third separate cost.

Flood zone and drainage vary by parcel. Check the FEMA flood map for the exact address, ask for the roof age, and talk to your insurance agent before you go under contract. On acreage, also ask about the private well, the septic system and any permitted outbuilding, pool or addition. Ask for a survey, because boundary lines on five acres are easy to misjudge by eye.

Home Inspection: What to Ask For

I recommend a full professional home inspection on every purchase. On a five-acre property, add a septic inspection and a well water test, which a general inspection does not replace. A wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection looks for termites and other wood damage. A wind mitigation inspection documents roof and opening protections and may earn an insurance discount. A four-point inspection reviews roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC and is mostly requested by insurers on older homes. Ask your insurance agent which of these your policy needs for the home you are buying.
