Living in Florida's Space Coast
Brookhill
Brookhill is a small subdivision on the rise just west of North Indian River Drive at City Point, north of the State Road 528 interchange. The streets are Brookhill Drive, Warwick Drive, Windsor Drive and York Drive. Homes sit on a third of an acre or better, the association charges $150 a year, and that assessment buys a community dock and kayak launch on the Indian River.
Brookhill In Cocoa, Florida
Brookhill is compact, roughly four streets deep, and it climbs west off North Indian River Drive at City Point. Brookhill Drive is the entrance and it bends into Warwick Drive. Windsor Drive runs north and becomes York Drive. The English street naming is consistent through the whole plat and it sets Brookhill apart from everything else along this stretch of the river, where the names tend toward Florida flora and family surnames.
The land here is not flat, which is unusual in Brevard County. Homes sit on the rise above the river rather than on the water itself, so you get elevation and long views east without buying river frontage or a seawall. Lots run 0.29 to 0.49 acre with about 0.37 acre typical, which by the standards of a 1970s subdivision means real backyards, mature landscaping and room for a pool without crowding the lot line.
The association is the piece that makes this address work. Brookhill Association, Inc. has been a registered Florida corporation since 1996, and the assessment for most homes is $150 a year, with one tier at $450. For that money the neighborhood keeps a community dock and kayak launch on the Indian River plus common grounds. A hundred and fifty dollars a year for deeded neighborhood river access is a rare structure anywhere in Brevard.
Most of the houses date to the mid 1970s, with one infill build from 2016. That spread means you should read each roof, each electrical panel and each system separately rather than assuming a neighborhood standard. Construction is mixed: brick, frame, stucco and wood siding under shingle roofs, one and two story, with balconies on several of the two story plans. Homes run 1,996 to 2,295 square feet with about 2,191 typical.
Two things to verify. Every home here is on a septic tank with public water, so order a septic inspection and ask for pump out records. And because the neighborhood sits close to the river, get a written flood zone determination. Brevard County Public Works, Floodplain Administration, at (321) 617-7340, is the official county repository for FEMA flood map panels and issues written determinations and elevation certificates.

Brookhill Details
River Access For $150 A Year
The community dock and kayak launch on the Indian River come with the annual assessment. That is a fraction of what waterfront ownership costs and it removes the seawall, dock permit and insurance questions entirely.
Elevation, Which Is Rare Here
The lots climb west off Indian River Drive rather than sitting flat behind it. Elevation is uncommon anywhere in Brevard, and it is the reason listings here have used the word hilltop for decades.
Warwick, Windsor, York
The English street names run through the entire plat and give the neighborhood a distinct identity on a stretch of Indian River Drive where nearly everything else reads as old Florida citrus country.
Third Acre Lots
At 0.29 to 0.49 acre these are substantially larger than what a modern subdivision offers in the same price band, with mature canopy and enough room for a pool, a fenced yard and a shed without crowding a setback.
City Point History Next Door
City Point was settled just after the Civil War, and the City Point Community Church at 3783 Indian River Drive, built in 1885, still stands a short distance from the neighborhood entrance with a state historical marker.
Septic And A Flood Determination
Every home runs on a septic tank with public water. Order the septic inspection early, and call Brevard County Public Works, Floodplain Administration, at (321) 617-7340 for a written flood zone determination before you finalize insurance.
