Living in Florida's Space Coast
Riverside Landing
Riverside Landing is a six story concrete condominium building at 29 Riverside Drive, on the quiet south edge of Cocoa Village directly on the Indian River. It was built in 2004 and the units are unusual: 2,600 square feet, four bedrooms, all on one level, most of them end units with a full width balcony over the water. The monthly fee is $1,287 and it covers almost everything.
Riverside Landing In Cocoa, Florida
This is a single boutique building, not a complex of low rise blocks. Six stories of solid concrete construction sitting on the river at the south end of Riverside Drive, built in 2004, with a secured lobby, elevators, fire sprinklers throughout and twenty four hour security. There are very few units in it, which is why one becomes available only occasionally and why the sales history here is measured in a handful of transfers rather than dozens.
The floor plans are the reason people seek this building out. Every unit runs 2,600 square feet, four bedrooms, laid out on one level, and the ones that trade are typically end units. That is house sized space with no stairs and no yard, which is a combination almost nothing else in Cocoa offers. Owners have used the extra bedrooms as offices with built in cabinetry, and several units have had full kitchen and flooring renovations since 2020.
The monthly figure is $1,287 and it is more inclusive than most. It covers cable and internet, building insurance, grounds and structure maintenance, pest control, water, sewer and trash. Once you subtract the utilities and services you would otherwise pay separately, the net cost of ownership is closer to a single family riverfront house than the raw number suggests. A and E Property Management has handled the association, with Showcase Management also appearing in the records.
Amenities are built into the building rather than spread across a campus: a clubhouse, a fitness center, a heated pool and spa, owner storage, elevators and a dock on the Indian River. Exteriors carry impact rated windows and storm shutters under a membrane roof, and entry is controlled by intercom through a secured lobby. Parking works out to one or two spaces per unit, including a private garage bay and covered space beneath the building.
Two things to plan for. Access is from behind the building off Delannoy Avenue rather than from Riverside Drive itself, and there is no street parking on Riverside, so learn the approach before your first showing. And Florida requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for condominium buildings three stories and taller. Ask for the most recent reports, the reserve funding plan and the board minutes covering them. On a 2004 concrete building that homework is straightforward, but it still has to be done.

Riverside Landing Details
Twenty Six Hundred Square Feet, One Level
Every unit here is the same generous size: 2,600 square feet with four bedrooms on a single floor. Finding that much single level space anywhere on the Cocoa waterfront is difficult, and finding it with no yard, no roof and no exterior to maintain is close to unique in this market.
A Fee That Actually Covers Things
The $1,287 monthly figure includes cable, internet, building insurance, structure and grounds maintenance, pest control, water, sewer and trash. Compare it against a riverfront house where you carry a wind policy, a flood policy, a roof reserve, lawn service and every utility yourself before you decide it is expensive.
Concrete, Impact Glass And Sprinklers
Built in 2004 to a post Andrew code, the building is solid concrete with impact rated windows, storm shutters and a fire sprinkler system throughout. For anyone buying waterfront in Florida and worrying about storm season, that construction package is the substantive answer, not a marketing line.
Steps From Cocoa Village
The building sits at the quiet south end of the Village, away from the busiest blocks but within an easy walk of the restaurants, shops and waterfront park in the historic district. That is the balance a lot of buyers are looking for and rarely find: walkable, but not on top of the noise.
Secured Lobby And Covered Parking
Entry runs through a controlled lobby with intercom and twenty four hour security, elevators serve all six floors, and parking includes a private garage bay plus covered space under the building. For an owner who travels or splits the year between two places, that combination matters more than square footage.
Very Few Units, Very Few Sales
This is a small building and turnover is rare. That keeps the address exclusive and it also means thin comparable data when it comes time to price or appraise. If a unit that suits you comes available, waiting for a better one is not really a strategy here.

Riverside Landing Frequently Asked Questions
How many units are in Riverside Landing?
It is a small boutique building of six stories with very few residences, which is exactly why sales here are infrequent. Listings describe end units on the upper floors, and every unit is the same 2,600 square foot, four bedroom, single level plan.
What does the $1,287 monthly fee include?
Cable television and internet, building insurance, structure and grounds maintenance, pest control, water, sewer and trash. It also funds the clubhouse, fitness center, pool and spa, elevators, storage and the twenty four hour security. Subtract those costs before comparing the figure to a house.
Is Riverside Landing on the water?
Yes, directly. The building fronts the Indian River on the south side of Cocoa Village, and every unit carries river and water views. There is a dock associated with the building, and the balconies look east over open water toward Merritt Island.
How do I get to the building?
From US 1, take Rosa Jones Drive or Florida Avenue east toward the river, follow the curve to Derby Street, then Delannoy Avenue. Entry and parking are from behind the building off Delannoy. There is no parking on Riverside Drive itself, so plan the approach in advance.
What year was it built and how is it constructed?
2004, in solid concrete block with a membrane roof, impact rated windows and storm shutters. It has a fire sprinkler system throughout, a secured lobby with intercom entry, elevators serving all six floors and twenty four hour security.
What should I review before making an offer?
Ask for the most recent milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study, the reserve funding plan, the current budget, recent board minutes and any pending special assessments. Florida requires those reports for condominium buildings three stories and taller. Also confirm the association's lender approval status.
Is there parking and storage?
Yes. Units come with one to two parking spaces, including a private garage bay and covered parking beneath the building, and the association provides owner storage. That is a meaningful advantage over older riverfront condominium complexes in Cocoa where parking is uncovered surface lot.
How does this compare to other Cocoa Village condominiums?
It is the newest and most inclusive of the group. The 1970s and 1980s riverfront complexes north of the Village offer lower monthly fees and lower prices, but smaller units, older systems and fewer building level amenities. Riverside Landing trades a higher fee for newer construction and larger floor plans.
29 Riverside Drive at Cocoa Village, Cocoa 32922
The building sits at the southern edge of Cocoa Village, right on the Indian River, on a stretch of Riverside Drive that carries very little traffic. Access comes from US 1 by way of Rosa Jones Drive or Florida Avenue, then Derby Street and Delannoy Avenue, with entry and parking from behind the building. Cocoa Village, the historic downtown district at the west end of SR 520, begins a short walk to the north.
SR 520 crosses the river just above the Village and runs east to Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral, generally fifteen to twenty minutes to the beachside. Westbound, 520 reaches I-95 in under ten minutes and continues toward Orlando, with the airport roughly an hour out by way of 528. Launches from the Cape are visible from the east facing balconies.
