Red Hot!

The Merritt Island real estate market is red hot right now, with properties in the area being highly coveted by home buyers. A commercial hub, Merritt Island has several new subdivisions with ample room to grow. Some of the most sought after property in the Merritt Island real estate market exists along the small sliver of land where South Tropical Trail and State Road 3 (North Courtenay Parkway) meet. Prices range from an affordable $150K to luxury homes priced at over $4M.

Canal Frontage

Merritt Island homes are about 15% more expensive than property on the mainland. This is due to the fact that many Merritt Island homes feature canal frontage and access to the waterways. Luxury Merritt Island waterfront homes line the Indian and Banana Rivers, with plenty of room for more homes in the future. Local developers have taken every opportunity to maximize the allowable building space with conservation in mind on the island. Merritt home buyers have plenty of selection here.

Spectacular Vistas

Spectacular shuttle launches are routine sights for Merritt Island residents, as they can watch the launches from the comfort of their own backyards. Over forty thousand people call this lovely island home. The area has over 40 miles of suburban land that is home to citrus farms and residential areas.

The Island is linked by causeways to the barrier island on the east and the mainland on the west.
