Emerald Lakes sits in the interior of Cocoa, part of Brevard County's mix of established residential streets and easy access to the Space Coast. It's a small, low-key community surrounded by neighborhoods like Canaveral Groves and Forest Lakes Of Cocoa, the kind of place where the commute math actually works — Orlando International Airport is about 37 minutes out and downtown Orlando roughly 43. If you want central Florida jobs and theme-park weekends without paying Orlando prices, this stretch deserves a look.
The market here is thin and quiet: there are currently no active listings, so buyers should treat this as a watch-and-wait area and lean on the live map for the moment inventory turns over. Over the past 12 months just three homes changed hands, and those that did sold at a median of $359,000. When you're ready to widen the search, browse nearby Cocoa homes for sale or comparable communities like Royal Garden Homes and North Port St John.

Emerald Lakes FAQs
Is Emerald Lakes a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, established residential community in Cocoa that appeals to buyers who want central Florida access without Orlando prices. The commute math is a real draw — about 37 minutes to Orlando International Airport and 43 to downtown Orlando. If nothing's listed here, nearby Cocoa homes for sale offer similar character.
Is Emerald Lakes expensive?+
Based on the last 12 months, homes here sold at a median of $359,000, which sits in the mid-range for the Cocoa area. It's more attainable than comparable central Orlando options, especially given the airport and downtown drive times. Because inventory is scarce, pricing can shift quickly when a home does come up.
What do homes cost in Emerald Lakes?+
There are no active listings right now, so there's no current asking-price range to quote. The best reference point is recent sales: three homes closed over the past year at a median sold price of $359,000. Keep an eye on the live map to catch new listings as they hit the market.
How is the market in Emerald Lakes?+
It's a low-inventory, low-turnover market — just three homes sold in the past 12 months and nothing currently active. Sellers averaged 98% of their asking price, so when homes do list they tend to move close to full value. Buyers should be ready to act and consider nearby communities like North Port St John in the meantime.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have current HOA or property tax figures on record for Emerald Lakes, so confirm those details listing by listing. Brevard County property taxes and any community dues can vary, and your agent can pull the exact numbers once a home comes available. For now, treat the $359,000 median sold price as your anchor for budgeting.
