The area is also appealing for its Florida lifestyle. Since it is located between South and Central Florida, youre never further than a 2-hour drive from top attractions like Disney World, or the energy of South Florida. It truly is a place where residents can work and play. Almost everywhere in the county is less than 30 minutes from the ocean shoreline, such as Melbourne Beach, FL.
