I have inherited a lot in Palm Bay and am considering building on it. In investigating the area during a recent visit, I learned of another upcoming area, Viera. My questions is as to how these two areas compare:

1. Cost-wise
2. Proximity to beach
3. Real estate value and potential return on investment
4. Entertainment
5. Hurricane or Flood Areas
6. Safety
7.Proximately to other area attractions
8. Medical care and facilities

I may consider selling the Palm Bay lot and purchasing/building in Viera. This residence would be a second home for the family to enjoy especially adult children and future potential grandchildren.

I would appreciate it if you could provide any insight that would help in the decision making process.

Linda

Default Depends on where the lot is in Palm Bay

Much of Palm Bay is sadly, shall I say with personal bias, undesirable to live. If you compare real estate price ranges of Palm Bay vs. Viera you'll find Viera has the higher ranges. Health First is building a new Viera HealthPlex (fitness complex) facility and soon after a hospital (West of I-95). Palm Bay is known for it's daily summertime power outtages. On that note I'd have to say Viera is better designed/engineered to plan for the future infrastructure-wise (roads, utilities, etc.). Now's a good time to buy!

1. Cost-wise -Real estate in Viera overall costs more
2. Proximity to beach -about the same distance
3. Real estate value and potential return on investment
4. Entertainment -check out www.viera.com
5. Hurricane or Flood Areas -I've been here since 2004 with ZERO damage to my house from the hurricanes... you can check flood and hazard vulnerabilities. www.csc.noaa.gov/rvat/ (Viera is towards the top end of Wickham West of Suntree and South of Rockledge, and West past I-95)
6. Safety http://embrevard.com/
7.Proximately to other area attractions www.viera.com Brevard Zoo, about 20 minutes to the beach, The Avenue (shopping) www.theavenuealist.com/FindAnAvenue/TheAvenueViera/tabid/86/Default.aspx
8. Medical care and facilities -Health First CCH, Wuesthoff Rockledge, VA in Viera

Hope this helps!
