Brevard County - Melbourne/Palm Bay and points north toward Titusville
Anyone familiar with the area can give a basic lowdown on the various cities in Brevard in relation to cost of living, jobs, traffic, shopping, entertainment, etc.
Looking at the real estate, from the listings i've seen it's much much much more affordable than anything in South Florida. There's some very nice homes in the $300k range I'm looking at. So, that's a big plus in my book.
I would be looking for a brand new home or house built within the last few years with the stronger hurricane codes and most importantly west of any high risk insurance pools that citizen's runs.
In South Florida, the dividing line for the insurance high risk pool is I-95. Anything east of this and you are forced into citizen's. Is this also true in Brevard? Are you able to buy from insurance companies other than citizen's east of I-95? What are the insurance rates like in Brevard?
