--- BREVARD COUNTY ---
Brevard County is located on Florida's east coast midway between Jacksonville and Miami and only 50 miles east of Orlando. The county is long (72 miles) and narrow (15 miles wide). Brevard County has what some might consider a dual personality. Sometimes called the Space Coast, most visitors are torn between its two major components -- the high-tech Kennedy Space Center and the low-tech wonders of nature's bounty.
Perhaps nowhere else in Florida is so much technical expertise devoted to the preservation of ancient plant and animal species. Residents are known for using the latest technology on their jobs, in their schools and on their Internet sites -- sometimes specifically in an effort to protect their priceless natural environment. Sanctuaries and wildlife refuges are scattered around the county, often close to the beaches.
Water lovers are in heaven here! Not only does it possess miles of unspoiled beaches, but also an enormous bonus -- lots of additional waterfront on the Intracoastal Waterway. What locals call the Banana River and the Indian River are actually major segments of the Intracoastal Waterway system of lagoons and estuaries, where fresh water mingles with saltwater from the ocean.
Brevard County has a great year-round climate and a very reasonable cost of living. Housing prices range from about $30,000 for small condominiums to well over $500,000 for single family homes. Whatever your housing requirements, you will find affordably priced homes here. Even prestigious properties are comparatively reasonable.
Single-family homes represent 68% of Brevard County's housing inventory. New three-bedroom, 2,000-square -foot homes in Brevard County usually start at about $200,000. There is also a solid inventory of existing single-family homes. Another 32% of the market is comprised of condominiums, many of which are oceanfront yet affordable.
