Where to Live If You Work at Relativity Space in Florida
A relocation guide from Rachel Langley, REALTOR®, for Relativity Space employees moving to the Space Coast: the commutes, the towns, what homes cost, and how to use your relocation package with the agent you choose.
The short answer: Relativity Space is building its Terran R launch site at Launch Complex 16 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and it is expanding in Florida. The Space Force Station's south gate is next to Port Canaveral, so Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island are the shortest drives, about 5 to 15 minutes to the gate. Rockledge and Viera are about 25 minutes.
Where Relativity Space works on the Space Coast
Relativity Space is headquartered in Long Beach, California, and is growing its Florida footprint. Here is what is happening on the Space Coast:
- Launch Complex 16, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station: Relativity's Terran R launch site. In its July 2026 company update, Relativity said the pad's horizontal integration facility was powered up and a 270,000-pound crane had passed its load test.
- Florida expansion: in July 2026 Governor DeSantis and Space Florida announced that Relativity will expand at the Cape Canaveral Spaceport and add another Terran R production facility, with thousands of high-paying jobs projected by the end of 2034.

Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral
For the surf-town lifestyle. Cape Canaveral condos are a popular way to live by the beach for less.

A mix of established neighborhoods along the river and newer communities, central to both ends of the county.

Newer master-planned neighborhoods, new construction, parks and shopping, with easy I-95 access.

Using your Relativity Space relocation package
We work with every relocation company
Nichole Barna and I help relocating employees and their families settle on the Space Coast all the time, and we work with all the relocation companies. If your move comes with a relocation package, just give your relocation coordinator our names, Rachel Langley and Nichole Barna at Blue Marlin Real Estate, and we are happy to sign the referral paperwork.
A few things I tell every relocating buyer: read your package before you house hunt so you know what is covered and what deadlines apply, get pre-approved early, and if your start date is tight, think about renting for a few months while you learn the area. I help you find the right neighborhood either way.
