With Kennedy Space Center, Blue Origin, SpaceX, and a growing list of aerospace and defense employers all based in Brevard County, more buyers are relocating here for space industry jobs. If that’s you, here’s what to know about finding a home in the area.
Where to Look Based on Your Commute
Titusville and Merritt Island sit closest to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, making them popular with employees working directly on-site. Viera and Rockledge offer a bit more distance with easy highway access, while Melbourne is home to Florida Tech and a growing tech and defense corridor further south.
What to Expect as a Newcomer
- A mix of established neighborhoods and new construction across price points
- Rocket launches visible from many parts of the county, a perk most newcomers love
- A relatively fast-moving market, especially near major employers
Relocation Tips
If you’re relocating from out of state, getting pre-approved before you start touring homes will help you move quickly once you find the right one, especially if you’re coordinating a remote closing or limited house-hunting trips.
