Investing in Brevard

Investors around the world are increasingly turning to Brevard County for property investments. This should come as no surprise, with the region showing consistent economic and population growth year after year. Since the revival of the space program, major players in the aerospace and defense industries have made the Space Coast their home base, drawing in some of the best and brightest minds in tech and engineering from around the world to our shores.

The Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville Metropolitan Area ranked 10th on the Milken Institute’s Best Performing Cities 2020: Where America’s Jobs are Created and Sustained, putting the region in direct competition with other high-producing tech hubs and centers of commerce around the country. But Brevard County is so much more than a tech hub. It’s a place where arts and culture are flourishing, where residents have access to world-class attractions and entertainment, and where families can grow and find fulfillment.

Single Family Homes in Brevard

In 2016, about 44% of Brevard County’s renters resided in single-family homes. As increasing numbers of young professionals flood to the Space Coast for job opportunities with L3Harris and other major corporations in the area, they’re looking for homes where they and their families can be comfortable. Now is the perfect time to invest in single family homes in Brevard.
