Merritt Island High School

It suits buyers who want water access and a family-oriented, outdoors-first setting on Brevard's Space Coast. The zone feeds well-known schools including Tropical Elementary School, and 13 of 34 current listings sit on the water. Orlando International Airport is about 43 minutes out, so you're connected without being in the thick of the metro.

It's mid-range for coastal Florida, with a median list price of $489,800 and an average of $301 per square foot. The spread is wide — from $167,900 to $2,550,000 — and only four active listings are priced above $1 million. That mix means there's genuine entry-level inventory alongside higher-end waterfront homes.

Over the last 12 months 167 homes sold at a median price of $465,000, close to the current $489,800 median list. The median home runs about 1,591 square feet at roughly $301 per square foot. You can check specific streets and segments on the live map.

It's balanced and steady rather than frantic. Homes take a median of 35 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 96% of their asking price, so well-priced listings move and there's still room to negotiate. With 34 active listings against 167 sales in the past year, buyers have real choice.

The median HOA here is about $265 per month, though many single-family and waterfront properties carry no HOA at all. Median property taxes run roughly $3,710 per year, and if you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent sits around $2,963 per month.
