Living in Florida's Space Coast
AVON BY THE SEA
Avon by the Sea is the beachside plat on the north end of Cocoa Beach where the streets are named for presidents, the mix runs from 1957 cottages to 2027 construction, and homes sold in a median of nine days.
Avon By The Sea In Cocoa Beach, Florida
Avon by the Sea is one of the oldest plats on the barrier island, running along the president streets on the north end of Cocoa Beach: Wilson, Grant, Hayes, Harding, Garfield, plus Ridgewood, Winslow and Ocean Beach Boulevard. The plat continues north across the line into Cape Canaveral, and we keep a separate page for the Cape Canaveral side because the numbers differ.
On the Cocoa Beach side the mix is unusual. Of twenty nine recent listings, eighteen were condominiums, ten single-family and one townhome, built anywhere from 1957 to 2027. Fourteen were new construction. You can buy a 1950s beach cottage or a brand new boutique condominium on the same street.
Median sold price was $675,000 at about $407 per square foot, with the range running $430,000 to $1,000,000. Eighteen of twenty nine had a pool. Eleven of the twenty nine reported no association at all, while the condominium buildings carry monthly fees from $785 up to $2,100.
The speed is the headline. A nine day median on market with closings at 96 percent of asking makes this one of the fastest moving pockets in Cocoa Beach. Being a short walk from the Atlantic on a quiet residential street does that.
