South Cove is a small, low-key residential corner of Palm Bay, the kind of Brevard County neighborhood where homes sit on manageable lots and daily life runs at an unhurried pace. You're close to established communities like Bayside Lakes and Port Malabar, with the wider Palm Bay homes for sale market and the Space Coast's beaches and river within easy reach. Assigned schools include Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School and Edgewood Jr/Sr High School, and Orlando International Airport is about 72 minutes west.
Inventory here is genuinely thin — there's just one active listing right now, priced at $246,000, so buyers should be ready to move quickly and watch the live map for anything new. At roughly $182 per square foot and a median home size around 1,350 square feet, entry pricing is approachable, though the tiny sample size means each sale can swing the numbers hard.
