Vibrant culture, waterfront homes in Historic Cocoa Village
Founded by a group of fishermen in the 1860s, Historic Cocoa Village is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Brevard County. The old quarter stretches along the Indian River’s edge, where the Intracoastal Waterway parts with Merritt Island—the commercial corridor is set inland, while homes line the shore. “It's more of a lifestyle than a neighborhood," says local real estate agent Margret Cornell withCornell Real Estate. "Living on the water means most people here are boaters. People also love that the neighborhood has an original footprint.” Historic Cocoa Village's 1924 Playhouse, once a silent movie haunt, still operates here. Locals gather for the springtime Cocoa Village Art Show and traveling events like fall’s FunkFest, turning the walkable grid into a mosaic of live music and culture.
The 1924 Playhouse in Historic Cocoa Village hosts art shows and festivals while giving a nod to the towns historic roots.
Historic Cocoa Village is located along the Indian River coast which sets the scene for its coastal Florida vibe.

On the higher end, move-in-ready homes along Riverside Drive and multi-story residences with three to four bedrooms are priced between $600,000 and $800,000.
