Living in Florida's Space Coast
COCOA BEACH ORIGINAL PLAT
The original Cocoa Beach plat and its seven additions cover the downtown core, where houses date from 1948, most carry no association, and the median sale was $672,500.
The Original Cocoa Beach Plat
This is where Cocoa Beach started. The original plat and its second through eighth additions cover the downtown core in the 32931 zip code, on Atlantic Avenue, Orlando Avenue, Osceola, Brevard, Cedar, Woodland and the numbered streets.
It is the most varied housing stock in the city because it has been filling in for seventy five years. Recent sales ranged from a 1948 building to a 2020 build, from 1,212 to 4,920 square feet, and from $410,000 to $3,500,000. Nineteen of twenty four were single-family, four condominium and one townhome.
Twenty of the twenty four reported no association, which is the practical advantage of buying in the old part of town. The four that did were small condominium buildings running $400 to $995 a month.
What you are really buying is position. This is the walkable part of Cocoa Beach: the pier, Ron Jon, the restaurants and the beach are all within a few blocks. Eight of twenty four listings were waterfront, and the median annual tax bill was $7,881, which reflects how the downtown land is assessed.
