A PLACE LIKE NO OTHER “Discovery” has defined what the Space Coast has meant to the world for generations.

From the beaches where the first European explorers landed a little over 500 years ago, to extending mankind’s reach beyond our planetary home as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing this July, this area’s technical, cultural, economic and ecological diversity is unrivaled.

With over 72 miles of coastline and more waterfront property than any other county in the nation, there is something for every age group and occasion. It is the East Coast Surfing Capital, the home of Kennedy Space Center, the cruise terminals of Port Canaveral, vast wildlife refuges, cutting edge tech companies, quaint downtowns and unique communities featuring everything from oceanfront condominiums to equestrian ranches. Did we mention it is just a short drive to world famous theme parks, race tracks and resorts?

Let your curiosity wander as you discover all the Space Coast has to offer.

Like people, communities have personalities that reflect the interests of those who live there, as well as the unique setting the geography of the location affords. On the Space Coast, you will find the full spectrum of coastal living, from ocean and riverfront properties, to lushly wooded golf course communities.

These communities are all within a short distance of remarkable schools, shopping and dining opportunities. Of course, if you don’t live on the water, no need to worry, you are never far from it.

BREVARD

Florida’s natural setting is showcased in the communities that make up north Brevard.

Home to the historic and ever-evolving Kennedy Space Center and Canaveral Air Force Station, it is the place from where humankind was launched to the moon and probes have been sent into the farthest reaches of the solar system.

It is also where you will find the pristine Canaveral National Seashore and one of the nation’s natural wonders, the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Titusville, the original county seat, incorporated in 1887, is beautifully positioned on the Indian River alongside the communities of Scottsmoor, Mims and Port St. John.

All of Brevard’s historic communities were part of an inland waterway, and that ambiance is still seen as you travel about the county. Driving the breathtaking South Tropical Trail through Merritt Island, which splits the Indian River to form the Banana River, you pass lovely homes built on what were once orange and mango groves. Since the early 20th Century, Cocoa and Rockledge were important centers of life and commerce. Visiting historic Downtown Cocoa, its playhouse, boutiques and striking waterfront park captures a new take on a nostalgic location. Another beautiful waterfront drive, SR 515, winds along the western shore of the Indian River, featuring an unrivaled blend of residential architecture and a tropical paradise.

UNIVERSITIES FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Birthed to provide educational opportunities and a talent pipeline at the dawn of the Space Race in 1958, Florida Tech is the only independent, technological university in the Southeast. Florida Tech was founded

by Jerome P. Keuper, Ph.D., a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral.

According to university lore, he was sharing his idea with a colleague in a local pub and in jest, the friend pushed 37 cents across the table and said, “Here is your first donation, Jerry.

Now go and build that college.” That missional vision continues today, as Florida Tech’s motto, “To the stars through science,” still very much applies, as does their unique Space Coast history.

The drive, innovation and imagination

that became part of the university’s DNA propels Florida Tech into the future as it adapts to the changing landscape of commercial space development and a world economy driven by technology. For the ninth consecutive year, the university was designated as a Tier One Best National University, according to U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” 2019 rankings, as well as being home to one of the most internationally diverse undergraduate student bodies in the nation. In addition, it was among the top 50 universities in the southern U.S. according to the 2019 Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings.

The Melbourne-based university is known worldwide for its uniquely strong aerospace eng ineering,

space sciences, marine sciences, cybersecurity, behavior analysis and aviation (flight) degree programs.

While also offering a wide range of business, science, computer and engineering degrees in undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs.

With a stellar faculty that inspires, “The Relentless Pursuit of Greatness,” Florida Tech’s stunning subtropical campus and unique facilities like the Harris Student Design Center, make it one of the nation’s best educational institutions.

EASTERN FLORIDA STATE COLLEGE Nearly 35,000 students take courses annually at the four campuses of Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) in Titusville, Cocoa, Melbourne and Palm Bay, along with an Aerospace program at Kennedy Space Center or online through their eLearning platforms. The college enjoys one of the top graduation rates in the 28-member Florida College System and has a direct connect program to the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando. This allows for the seamless transfer of credits from Eastern Florida’s Associate’s program to UCF’s Baccalaureate program.

Officially changing its name from Brevard Community College in 2013, the institution founded in 1960 now offers four-year degrees in healthcare management and general business management, along with nearly 100 degree and certificate programs.

Responsive to the needs of the local economy, Eastern Florida has partnerships with area businesses through customized training programs and facility-use programs.

10 STEPS

TO OWNING YOUR OWN HOME

7

Home ownership is part of the American dream. To ensure you live happily ever after, consider these helpful ideas on your journey to ownership.

1

CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE

A good credit score will get you a good interest rate, whereas a great credit score will get you a great one.

But make sure you check your credit score for mistakes.

2 3

CREATE A BUDGET To move from dream to reality, you must figure out what your needs are and what you can afford.

HIRE A REALTOR®

A REALTOR® knows the market and can show you the a portfolio of properties and can refer you to lenders, appraisers, title companies and home inspectors.

4

Once you have found a home you want to buy, it is time to agree on a price and sign a contract. You might be able to negotiate with the seller on the price or extras, like appliances and other goodies, and usually you have to put some earnest money down.

DETERMINE YOUR LOCATION

Before looking at houses, consider where you want to live. Assess factors like convenience, work commute, school options and sense of safety.

5

SHOP FOR A MORTGAGE

8

GET AN INSPECTION

Home buyers often rely on REALTORS® to recommend home inspectors. Even so, buyers should check credentials and read reviews themselves.

9

NEGOTIATE ANY REPAIRS

The inspection report may turn up some problems with the home — but, keep in mind, not all repairs are created equal. There can be major issues or minor ones.

Prequalifying is the best place to begin the home buying process. It is your ticket to putting an offer on the right house for you.

6

SIGN A CONTRACT

MAKE TIME FOR OPEN HOUSES

If you want to find a house quickly, keep your schedule open to take advantage of opportunities that may not last.

10

CLOSE ON YOUR HOUSE

The is the final step in home ownership. Before you actually close, ask for a final walkthrough to make sure all the agreed-upon repairs were made.

SKILLED, EDUCATED WORKFORCE

As the birthplace of American Space Exploration, and the hub of Florida’s space industry, we have cultivated generations of high-tech talent. However, we are more than space. The strengths of the Space Coast’s workforce extend beyond the aerospace sector, with one of the nation’s largest concentrations of employment in the communications sector and the most concentrated manufacturing workforce in the state of Florida. Recruiting employees is easily done with our local tax structure, low cost of living, affordable housing and superior quality of life.

No Floridian lives more than 50 miles from a post-secondary educational institution, many of which are nationally ranked colleges and universities. This provides your businesses with a constant flow of skilled employees. What’s more, we are part of the Florida High Tech Corridor, boasting a region with a talent pool of scientists, engineers and other innovative entrepreneurs.
