Known as the “Space Coast” because rocket launches take place here from Cape Canaveral, this region includes Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna, Titusville, Melbourne, and Cocoa Beach.
This popular retirement community destination is growing rapidly not only because of Northerners retiring there, but also because of people moving up from South Florida to escape the higher home prices and congestion.
