Living in Florida's Space Coast
Andy Estates
Andy Estates is a pair of quiet lanes off South Tropical Trail, Crispin Street and Davis Court, where every parcel is right around an acre and every home has a pool. Houses run 3,041 to 3,825 square feet, built from 1987 through a 2024 custom addition to the street. There is no association and no assessment. Homes here have gone under contract in two days at full asking price.
Andy Estates In Merritt Island, Florida
This is a small, low key address on the southern third of the island. Crispin Street runs off South Tropical Trail and carries most of the houses, with Davis Court branching off it. Several parcels sit on a cul de sac and others on a dead end, so through traffic is not a concept that applies here. Coming from the Pineda Causeway you run north on South Tropical Trail about three miles and turn onto Crispin.
The defining number is the lot. Every parcel here measures between one acre and 1.05 acres, which puts Andy Estates in a very small group on Merritt Island. What that acreage buys is not just yard, it is what people do with it: oversized garages, one with four bays plus a separate workshop, detached storage, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and pool decks that do not run into a setback. It also means real maintenance, real irrigation and real tree work.
Construction spans 1987 to 2024, though the bulk of the original street dates to the late 1980s and the newest home is a custom build finished recently. Living area runs 3,041 to 3,825 square feet, typically around 3,344, in four and five bedroom layouts with three and a half to four baths. Brick appears on several elevations, which is uncommon in Brevard, and two homes carry metal roofs. Twelve foot ceilings with wood beam detail and brick fireplaces show up repeatedly.
Every home here has an in ground pool. Most are salt water, most are screened, and a couple have waterfall features. None of the parcels are waterfront. A shared dock serves a limited number of Crispin Street addresses, so if water access matters, confirm in writing whether the specific property carries any rights to it rather than assuming the street shares equally. Rocket launches read clearly from the yards on this stretch of the island.
There is no association of any kind here: no dues, no architectural review, no gate, no age restriction. Merritt Island is unincorporated, so Brevard County code is the only rule set. Four of five homes are on septic with public water throughout. On the market side, this is the tightest performance on the island. Pricing has run $900,000 to $1,350,000 with the middle at $1,125,000 and about $301 a square foot, going under contract in two days at 100 percent of original asking price.

Andy Estates Details
An Acre On Every Parcel
Lot sizes here run 1.00 to 1.05 acres with almost no variation, which is why the street reads the way it does. Houses sit well back and well apart, tree canopy is mature, and there is genuine room between neighbors. On Merritt Island, acre parcels this consistent are concentrated in a handful of streets.
Nobody To Ask Permission From
There is no association, so no dues, no architectural committee and no covenant restricting a workshop, a boat, an RV pad or the color you paint the house. Brevard County code is the only standard, since Merritt Island is unincorporated and has no city government of its own.
Garages Built For Projects
Bays run from two to four, and at least one home pairs a four car garage with a separate workshop. Combined with the acre lot, that makes this one of the few addresses on the island that works for someone with a car collection, a serious shop or a large trailer that needs to live under a roof.
Two Days To Contract
Homes here have gone under contract in about two days at the full original asking price. That is the fastest and firmest performance on the island. Practically, it means you cannot wait for the weekend open house, and it means offers below asking are not going to be entertained.
Brick And Beams
Several homes carry brick on the exterior and twelve foot ceilings with wood beam detail inside, along with brick fireplaces. It is a heavier, more traditional build than the stucco production housing that dominates most of the county, and it gives the street a character that photographs poorly and shows well in person.
Pools On Every Lot, No Waterfront Premium
Every home has an in ground pool, most of them salt water and screened, several with waterfall features. Because none of the parcels are waterfront, that pool is not sitting on top of a frontage premium, which is part of why $301 a square foot buys as much house as it does here.

Andy Estates Frequently Asked Questions
Does Andy Estates have an HOA?
No. There is no mandatory association, no voluntary one, and no dues. There is also no architectural review, no gate and no age restriction. County code governs, because Merritt Island is unincorporated Brevard County and has no municipal government.
How big are the lots?
Every parcel is right at an acre, between 1.00 and 1.05 acres. That is the defining feature of the street and the reason the homes have the garages, workshops and outdoor spaces that they do. It also means more irrigation, mowing and tree maintenance than a typical subdivision lot.
Are any of the homes waterfront?
No. None of the parcels carry private water frontage. A shared dock serves a limited number of addresses on Crispin Street, so if water access is part of why you are looking here, get the rights confirmed in writing for the exact property rather than relying on what a neighbor tells you.
Do all the homes have pools?
Yes. Every home here has an in ground pool, most salt water and most screened, and several include waterfall features. Have the pool surface, pump, heater and screen enclosure inspected separately, since those are the predictable capital items on a late 1980s pool.
Why do homes sell so fast here?
Time to contract has run about two days at full original asking price. Acre lots with pools and large garages on South Merritt Island are a narrow category with steady demand and very little supply. When one comes up, the buyers who have been waiting move immediately.
Is the neighborhood on septic?
Most homes are on septic tanks with public water throughout. On acre parcels that works well, but the systems on the original houses are now more than three decades old. Have the tank located and inspected and check the county permit record for any replacement work.
What are property taxes?
County bills have run roughly $2,810 to $9,666, with the middle near $5,250. The low end belongs to long homesteaded owners with capped assessed values. A purchase resets that value, so budget from the upper part of the range if you are buying at current pricing.
What is the drive to the mainland?
The Pineda Causeway is about three miles south and connects to Suntree, Viera, Melbourne and Interstate 95 in roughly twenty minutes. Running north instead puts you on State Road 520 for Cocoa Beach one way and the mainland the other, with Port Canaveral a longer haul up Courtenay Parkway.
Crispin Street, Merritt Island 32952
Andy Estates is in the 32952 ZIP code on South Merritt Island, on Crispin Street and Davis Court off South Tropical Trail. Coming north from the Pineda Causeway it is roughly three miles up the trail. Coming south from State Road 520 you can run down South Courtenay Parkway and cut across, or stay on South Tropical Trail the whole way. The island is narrow here, so both rivers are close on either side even though the parcels themselves are inland.
This is a rural feeling position with real access. The Pineda Causeway is the near crossing, about twenty minutes to Suntree, Viera, Melbourne and Interstate 95. State Road 520 is the other direction for Cocoa Beach, Cocoa and the retail corridor. Port Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center are farther north, up Courtenay Parkway to State Road 528, and Orlando International Airport is about an hour and fifteen minutes from the driveway.
