Living in Florida's Space Coast
Cottages at Cocoa Village
Florida Avenue holds some of the newest addresses in Cocoa: a small run of townhomes finished in 2024 and 2025, concrete block below, frame above, with impact windows, private in-unit elevators and rooftop decks plumbed for an outdoor kitchen. Footprints are tiny at roughly 0.03 acre apiece. Historic Cocoa Village sits about half a mile up the street.
Cottages at Cocoa Village In Cocoa, Florida
This is a townhome community, not a street of detached houses. Every unit here is attached, sits on roughly 0.03 acre of ground, and stacks its living space vertically instead of spreading it out. Homes run 1,622 to 2,522 square feet with two or three bedrooms and three to four baths, and a two car garage is standard. If you want a yard, this is the wrong address. If you want square footage inside a short walk of the village, it works.
The construction is current code and then some. Concrete block on the lower level with stucco and frame above, impact rated glass rather than shutters, and interior finishes that lean modern: quartz counters, tile and glass showers, luxury vinyl plank, crown molding. Several units carry a private elevator and a rooftop deck already plumbed for an outdoor kitchen and a hot tub. Upper floors pick up views toward the Indian River and the State Road 520 bridges.
There is a real association here and you should plan on it. Dues run $150 a month and cover grounds maintenance for the shared areas. The corporate name has appeared a few different ways on paperwork, including The Cottages of Cocoa Village and Cottages Homeowners Association, Inc., so ask for the current recorded documents and the budget rather than relying on a marketing name. Attached construction means shared walls, shared insurance questions and shared rules.
Pricing has landed between $475,000 and $724,950, which works out to roughly $285 a square foot. That is the top of the per foot scale for Cocoa, and it buys you brand new construction on the mainland side of the river instead of an older house needing a roof and a panel. Property tax figures attached to a first year new build reflect an incomplete assessment. Budget for a full assessment once the county catches up.
The honest tradeoff is time. Units here have taken a long stretch to move, with a median of around 219 days on market, and sellers have used price reductions and closing incentives to get to the table. For a buyer that is leverage. For an owner planning to resell in two or three years, it is a reason to be conservative about what you pay going in.

Cottages at Cocoa Village Details
Rooftop Decks And Elevators
The upper deck is the selling point, plumbed for an outdoor kitchen and a hot tub on the units that were built out that way. Private in-unit elevators appear in several plans, which is unusual at this price on the mainland.
Impact Glass From Day One
Every window and door went in as impact rated glass rather than shutters you have to hang before a storm. That matters for insurance conversations and it matters at two in the morning when a system is coming across the state.
Half A Mile To The Village
Historic Cocoa Village, with the Cocoa Village Playhouse, the Porcher House and the shops along Brevard Avenue, is a short walk north. Lee Wenner Park at 300 Riveredge Boulevard puts four boat ramps and the Indian River Boardwalk in the same trip.
Vertical Living, Zero Yard
At roughly 0.03 acre you are not mowing anything. Living space stacks across multiple floors instead of sprawling, so the usable square footage is high relative to the ground it sits on. Stairs are part of the daily routine.
A Genuine Monthly Dues Line
At $150 a month the association covers grounds maintenance for the shared areas. Read the recorded documents and the budget before you write an offer, because attached construction brings shared insurance and shared rules along with it.
Buyer Leverage On Time
Units have sat, with a median around 219 days, and sellers have moved on price and offered closing incentives. That is unusual for new construction and it is the main reason to look here rather than at a resale.

Cottages at Cocoa Village Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cottages at Cocoa Village actually in Cocoa Village?
Not inside the historic district itself. The community sits on Florida Avenue just off Rosa L. Jones Drive, roughly half a mile southwest of the village core. It is a comfortable walk on foot and a two minute drive.
What are the association dues?
Dues run $150 per month. They cover maintenance of the shared grounds. Ask for the current recorded declaration, the budget and any reserve study before you commit, since the corporate name has been written several different ways.
Are these single family homes?
No. They are attached townhomes on roughly 0.03 acre lots. You own your unit and a small parcel of ground, and you share walls with neighbors. Plans stack living space across multiple levels.
Do the homes have hurricane protection?
Yes. Impact rated windows and doors were installed as original construction rather than added later, and the lower structure is concrete block. That combination is worth flagging when you shop insurance.
Why do homes here take so long to sell?
It is a small, new, high price per foot community in a market where most competing inventory is older and cheaper. Sellers have used price reductions and closing incentives to close the gap, which favors a patient buyer.
Is there a pool or clubhouse?
No. The community is small and the amenity is the rooftop deck on your own unit plus proximity to the village and the riverfront parks. Do not buy here expecting shared recreation facilities.
What will my property taxes look like?
The tax figures attached to a brand new build reflect an assessment made before the structure was finished. Expect the number to rise once the county assesses the completed home, and file for homestead exemption if it will be your primary residence.
Can I get to the water easily?
Yes. Lee Wenner Park sits at 300 Riveredge Boulevard with four boat ramps, day slips, a picnic pavilion and access to the Indian River Boardwalk. It is minutes from Florida Avenue.
Florida Avenue, Cocoa 32922
Florida Avenue runs off Rosa L. Jones Drive on the river side of Cocoa, a block or so from US 1. State Road 520 crosses just to the north and carries you east over the causeway to Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach or west toward Interstate 95 and Orlando. Historic Cocoa Village, with the Playhouse, the Porcher House, the Florida Historical Society and the shops and restaurants along Brevard Avenue, is about half a mile up the street.
Practical drive times: Cocoa Beach is roughly twenty minutes east across the causeway, Interstate 95 is about ten minutes west on State Road 520, Port Canaveral is about twenty five minutes northeast, and Orlando International Airport is a little under an hour on State Road 528. If you commute to the Kennedy Space Center side, Grissom Parkway north through Port St John is the usual route.
