About Port St John, FL

About Port St John, FL

Bedroom community of Port St. John

This unincorporated Brevard County locale is one of the numerous shoreline communities that make up Florida’s Space Coast. Port St. John is largely made up subdivisions located right between the cities of Titusville to the north and Cocoa to the south. Like its neighbors, Port St. John sits right along the Indian River lagoon, which separates it from the Merritt Island peninsula that is well known for the Kennedy Space Center and its affiliated facilities. Many who live here work elsewhere, and some come from even as far as Orlando 45 miles to the west. “It’s really a bedroom community, with a couple restaurants here and there, and a grocery store,” says Paul Hayhurst, an associate broker with Re/Max Aerospace Realty and who has made over a dozen sales in Port St. John. Port St. For years, affordability was among the reasons many came to this corner of Brevard County, but prices have started changing. “Up until now, the affordability of real estate was one factor. Now the real estate prices have gone up to where some are almost on par with places like Orlando,” Hayhurst says before naming some other factors that still keep others attracted to the area. “It’s not too terribly crowded. It’s close enough to the big city, if you want to go to the big city. This is a good alternative to other places.”

HOA communities and more affordable homes

There is a mixture of single and multi-story homes in Port St. John, including many modern ones that stand out with features like mixed sidings made out of smooth stucco and stone veneers. Modern homes located in walkable subdivisions include stylized colonial revivals and ranch-style homes with hipped and cross-gabled roofs. Cypress Woods and Hundred Acre Woods are among the communities here and have homeowners’ associations. The median price around here is $309,000, which puts Port St. John generally on par with other surrounding Brevard County communities.

Try seafood at Indian River Bar and Grill

For grocery needs, residents can travel up U.S. Highway 1 and along the shoreline to Publix. They can find more groceries farther south at Winn-Dixie in the Port St. John Plaza. Then if they continue south, they can find the Indian River Bar and Grill, a coastal joint where they can try out fare like fresh U.S. Gulf oysters. U.S. Highway 1 connects to Fay Boulevard, which can lead those seeking a more laidback atmosphere to Port Java where they can kick back with a cold brew or frappe while enjoying some Big Breakfast Burritos.

Fun at Fay and Fay Lake Wilderness parks

Although mostly residential, Port St. John isn’t short on recreational amenities. Families and teenagers can go to the Fay Park just off Fay Boulevard to have a picnic or play some games on the tennis and basketball courts. Then a little farther west on the boulevard is the Fay Lake Wilderness Park, where anglers can try to catch a few on the 27-acre fishing lake. Those who want to go out on the Indian River can launch their boats from the Port St. John Boat Ramp just south of the Fay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 1 intersection.

Enjoy Christmas lights at Hundred Acre Woods

Hundred Acre Woods is among the communities in the area where many elaborately deck their homes in lights during the Christmas and holiday season. Many locals can pass through this neighborhood to look at the bright and colorful decorations. The community itself encourages homeowners to put their lights on smart timers so they will turn on and still entertain neighborhood visitors even when the residents aren’t home.

Fly out of the Space Coast Regional Airport

Port St. John is located just south of the Space Coast Regional Airport, which is located between U.S. Highway 1 and Grissom Parkway. The facility provides general aviation, commercial and air travel, as well as helicopter flight training.
