Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School

If you want barrier-island life with easy beach and Banana River access, this zone delivers — it's a walkable, water-oriented community feeding Theodore Roosevelt Elementary and Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High. You're also within about 53 minutes of Orlando International Airport, so the island feel doesn't cut you off from the mainland.

It depends on what you're after — the median list price is $434,500, but active listings range from $135,000 for smaller condos up to $2,199,000 for waterfront estates. There are currently 9 homes priced above $1M and plenty below the median, so the Cocoa Beach homes for sale span a genuinely wide budget range.

The average is about $348 per square foot, with a median home size of roughly 1,300 square feet — typical of the condos and beach cottages common on the island. That figure covers everything from compact units to the 19 waterfront properties currently listed.

It's steady and active — 103 homes sold over the past 12 months at a median sold price of $400,000, and sellers are getting about 95% of asking on average. Homes take a median of 56 days to sell, so buyers have room to be deliberate without the market grinding to a halt.

The median HOA runs about $750 per month, which reflects the many condo and waterfront communities in the zone that cover exterior maintenance and shared amenities. Median property taxes come in around $4,568 per year, and if you're weighing renting instead, the median rent is about $2,725 per month.
