Titusville is an interesting situation. The city, right now, is reinventing itself. Titusville can lay claim, with considerable justification, to being the original city to give the entire area the name “Space Coast”. Both men and women of every possible NASA job description, and in the greatest numbers, chose Titusville as their place to call home.
Other choices, of course, were Cocoa and Melbourne, but Titusville had pride of place: it was closer, easier to access, and had everything you needed. As time passed, the “center of gravity” for the entire area drifted down the Coast towards Melbourne. It seems now that things have come full circle. Perhaps some of the best values – for buying, for investing – for the moment can be found here in Titusville.
The city has some extraordinary Indian River waterfront areas and is, as we speak, involved in multiple processes to figure out what is their highest and best use. Stay tuned, for the discussions are lively.
.Titusville Florida sits in the northeast corner of Brevard County, on the mainland, along the Indian River, with I-95 and the St. John’s River National Wildlife Refuge as a kind of western edge. It sits just across the tidal Indian and Banana Rivers from the Kennedy Space Center’s rocket launch sites, and provides by far the best uninterrupted view of the nation’s blast-off space activities you can buy into anywhere on the Space Coast.
Titusville – for now anyway – is a small city of just over 40,000 that blends the best of nature with science and technology. The average year round temperature is 79 and it enjoys 295 days of sunshine.
With an average home sale at $204,000 as of August 2005, Titusville is absolutely still affordable. (This will change.) Last but not least, it has a great climate for business and lifestyle.
If you are relocating to Florida, I can think of a number of good reasons to look seriously at Titusville’s unique variant of a relaxed yet connected Florida lifestyle, but here are several good ones:
