Our Take
Merritt Island offers a relaxed coastal vibe with good outdoor space and low flood risk, but it’s a car‑dependent community with limited local schools and nightlife. The market has appreciated modestly, offering reasonable value for families and remote workers who don’t mind a longer commute to Orlando.
