Florida has always been a favorite for retirees—but Brevard County is quickly becoming one of the top destinations. Here’s why more retirees are choosing the Space Coast for their next chapter.

Compared to Naples, Sarasota, or Palm Beach, Brevard offers more reasonably priced homes near the beach, rivers, and canals—without compromising on lifestyle.

2. Low Property Taxes & No State Income Tax
Florida has no income tax, and Brevard’s property tax rates are lower than many other coastal counties in the state.

3. Quality Healthcare Nearby
Access to top-rated hospitals and medical centers like Health First, Parrish Medical, and a growing number of specialists gives peace of mind.

4. Active Adult Communities

5. Space to Stay Active
Fishing, golfing, pickleball, biking trails, walking on the beach—you name it. Brevard makes it easy to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors year-round.

6. Easy Travel & Visits from Family
