Sunset Island is the small canal street in Cocoa Beach where all six recent sales were waterfront, none carry an association, and the median time on market was two days.
Sunset Island In Cocoa Beach, Florida
Sunset Island is a small canal neighborhood on Sunset Drive in Cocoa Beach, in the 32931 zip code, with canals running to the Banana River.
All six properties that traded in the last twelve months were waterfront and all six were single story. Four had a private pool. One recent listing described 95 feet of canal frontage a few blocks from the beach.
Homes run 1,346 to 2,610 square feet, built 1958 to 2026 with a median of 1964. None reported an association. Median sold price was $841,000 at about $534 per square foot, the second highest per foot among Cocoa Beach single-family neighborhoods.
Two numbers stand out. The median time on market was two days, which is the fastest of any neighborhood in either beach city. And the median annual tax bill was $2,621, dramatically lower than comparable canal neighborhoods like River Isles at $10,488, which reflects long held homestead assessments rather than a different tax rate.
