Merritt Island sits between the Indian and Banana Rivers on Florida's Space Coast, a boater's stretch of Brevard County where much of the housing stock hugs the water. It's a place built around canals, dockside backyards, and easy access to the Atlantic — which is why so many of the active listings here are waterfront homes or come with a screened pool. The pace is unhurried, the schools are established, and Orlando's theme parks and airport are just under an hour inland.
Right now there are 38 active listings with a median list price of $542,500, though the range runs wide — from $119,500 up past $3 million. Most of what's for sale is single-family homes, with a smaller pocket of townhomes and condos for buyers who want less maintenance. Homes are moving at a median of 40.5 days, and sellers are getting about 96% of asking, so there's room to negotiate without expecting a fire sale.
Merritt Island is in Brevard County, Florida.
