Living in Florida's Space Coast
Timber Lane
Timber Lane is a single street of one acre lots off Friday Road in west Cocoa, north of State Road 524. The homes went up between 1991 and 1994, every one of them is single story, and they run 2,055 to 2,522 square feet. There is no homeowners association, yards are fenced, and RV parking is normal here rather than negotiated.
Timber Lane In Cocoa, Florida
Timber Lane is about as simple as a neighborhood gets. One street, Timber Lane Drive, running off Friday Road north of the State Road 524 light and ending in a dead end. Every lot is an acre, and not approximately an acre: they measure 1.00 to 1.03 acres, which tells you the plat was cut evenly rather than filled in around an odd parcel line. The first house sits on the corner where the street leaves Friday Road.
Every home here is one story. That is unusual on acre lots in Brevard, where builders in the early 1990s often went vertical to keep the footprint down, and it changes the feel of the street considerably. These are wide ranch and traditional plans spread across the lot with long driveways, side entry and corner garages, and enough frontage that you are not looking into a neighbor's windows from any room in the house.
Homes were built between 1991 and 1994 and run 2,055 to 2,522 square feet with about 2,514 typical, three or four bedrooms, two to four baths and two or three car garages. Construction mixes frame, block, stucco and brick under shingle roofs. Split floor plans, wood burning fireplaces, granite kitchens and screened pool enclosures are all present. Storm shutters are common. One lot backs a drainage canal and several carry mature tree cover.
There is no association, no dues, no board and no architectural review. Combine that with an acre of fenced land and you get what people actually come here for: RV pads with electric hookups, boat and trailer storage, workshops, gardens and room to add a pool where one does not already exist. If you have equipment that will not fit in a subdivision, this street was built for that problem.
The numbers are tight and the market is quick. Prices have run $485,000 to $575,000 with about $509,000 in the middle, around $229 per square foot, and annual taxes cluster in a narrow band around $2,500. Homes here have gone under contract within days of listing, so if you want an acre off Friday Road, be preapproved and be ready to look the week something appears.

Timber Lane Details
Every Lot Is An Acre
Not roughly an acre. Lots measure 1.00 to 1.03 acres across the street, which means uniform frontage, uniform setbacks and no odd remainder parcels squeezed into the plat.
All Single Story
There is not a two story home on the street. Wide ranch plans stretched across an acre with long driveways and side or corner garages, which is a different living experience than a stacked plan on the same land.
Built For Equipment
RV pads with electric hookups, boat and trailer parking, workshops and fenced yards are standard here. With no association and an acre of land, storage that would be forbidden in a subdivision is simply normal.
A Dead End Street
Timber Lane Drive goes in and stops. The only traffic is people who live there or are visiting, which is the quiet most buyers are chasing when they start looking at acreage in the first place.
Predictable Tax Bills
Annual taxes on this street cluster near $2,500, an unusually tight band. When lot sizes, build years and square footage all match, the assessed values track each other and there are fewer surprises after closing.
Septic, Public Water
Every home is on a private septic tank with public water service. Order a septic inspection and ask for pump out records. On an acre lot there is generally plenty of room for a drainfield replacement if it comes to that.

Timber Lane Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Timber Lane?
West Cocoa in ZIP 32926, on Timber Lane Drive off Friday Road north of the State Road 524 traffic light. From Interstate 95 you take exit 202 east on 524 to the Friday Road light, turn north, then turn into Timber Lane Drive.
How big are the lots?
Every lot is an acre, measuring 1.00 to 1.03 acres. The uniform sizing is a giveaway that the street was platted in one piece rather than assembled from leftover parcels.

No. There is no association, no assessment, no board and no architectural review. Restrictions come from the recorded plat and Brevard County zoning rather than from a committee.
Are the homes one story or two?
All single story. Every home on the street is a one level ranch or traditional plan, built between 1991 and 1994, with two or three car garages and long driveways.
Can I park an RV or a boat?
Yes, and several homes already have an RV pad with an electric hookup. With no architectural review and an acre of fenced land, equipment storage here is a permitting question through Brevard County rather than a board approval.
Are the homes on septic or sewer?

What do homes cost here?
Prices have run $485,000 to $575,000 with around $509,000 in the middle, at roughly $229 per square foot. Annual taxes cluster near $2,500 because the lots and homes are so consistent with each other.
