Avon by the Sea In Cape Canaveral, Florida
Avon by the Sea is one of the oldest plats on the barrier island and it straddles the Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral line. This page covers the Cape Canaveral side, on Harrison, Monroe and the other president streets, plus Presidential Drive. The Cocoa Beach side has its own page.
The city line makes a real difference. Nineteen properties traded here in the last twelve months at a $500,000 median, against $675,000 for the same plat in Cocoa Beach. Same sand, same streets, different number.
The mix runs 912 to 2,666 square feet with two to five bedrooms, built 1956 to 2015. Seven of nineteen had a private pool and none of the recent Cape Canaveral side sales reported an association. Homes moved in a median of fifty two days at about 93 percent of asking, so there is more room here than on the Cocoa Beach side, which turned in nine days.
