Unleash the power of serenity and ingenuity inside the unincorporated town of Merritt Island. Located in Brevard County, along the eastern seaboard of the Atlantic Ocean, Merritt Island (referring to its expansive peninsula rather than an island), is one of the most sought after areas in South Florida to invest in real estate due to its proximity to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. A major tourist attraction for thousands of visitors across the country, Merritt Island lends for the perfect balance of culture and the beach with an added touch of history engrained in both. Centrally located, Merritt Island connects to the mainland where State Road 3 intersects US 1 in Volusia County. It is separated to the west and the south by the Indian River Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway. On the east side, Merritt Island is divided by Sykes Creek and Newfound Harbor, where they are then separated by the Banana River Lagoon and Cocoa Beach. Merritt Island is home to 23 communities, each reflecting their own character and architectural narrative including Allenhurst, Angel City, Audubon, Banyan, Courtenay, Fairyland, Georgiana, Heath, Indianola, Lotus, Merritt City, Orsino, Shiloh, Tropic and Wilson. However, although coined the largest “island” in Florida, this quaint town preserves its small close-knit environment with a population of just under 38,000 and a flip-flop, "la dolce vita" lifestyle.
