Grant-Valkaria

Located in Brevard County along the beautiful Indian River Lagoon, Grant-Valkaria provides a very quiet way of life that combines rural and coastal features, setting it apart from Florida's more crowded cities. The town was established in 2006 by merging two historic fishing and farming communities and has a low population density of about 161 people per square mile. Because of its wide layout, there is a great deal of local wildlife and natural scenery, which gives the residents a calm, nautical ambiance. Even though it has a secluded appearance, Grant-Valkaria is conveniently situated just south of Melbourne and is only a 25-minute drive from the local ocean beaches.

The real estate market in the area is characterized by stability and availability of space, with a very high proportion of single-family homes being occupied by their owners. People who move to the area generally look for privacy and large plots; in fact, the homes in this region often have room for several vehicles, RVs, and boats to enable an active lifestyle next to water. Because of the excellent public schools, its extremely low level of poverty, and its well-deserved status as one of the quietest communities in the country, Grant-Valkaria is a popular choice for both growing families and active retirees who want a safe and tight-knit environment.
