Five Reasons Why We Like Living In Titusville, Florida

- I researched Titusville, Florida before we moved here and felt overwhelmed by the negative feedback about this area. We still moved here - my husband is employed with the space industry in his dream job - and we like it! This video is for any of you who are relocating here (or live here and want to brag on their hometown) so that you know that this is a pretty cool place to live.

I moved from Ohio to Titusville 32 years go and I have always said, "Titusville is the Best kept secret in the state of Florida". The People in Titusville are wonderful, caring and sharing folks who, for the most part, work together for everyone. The Indian River is stunning;especially when the moon glistens over the water. There are many parks in the area to take the children and grandchildren . We even have a splash park ;-) The Wildlife Refuge on the east side of the bridge is so special to see with the wide variety of birds. It's a must to see in February before many birds fly back up north. I personally enjoy the ride to Haulover Canal and view the Manatees on the other side of the Hauler Canal bridge. While there are many beaches on the east coast of Florida, Titusville has a Natural beach with beautiful Sea dunes and a view of the Kennedy Space Center. There is able parking with public restrooms.
The location is PERFECT! Titusville is 45 minutes east of Orlando, 30 Minutes north of Cocoa Beach and 45 minutes to Daytona Beach so if you can't find what you need in Titusville, you don't have far to travel.
While we have restaurants of just about any type, Dixie Crossroads is my favorite! You just can't find Fresh seafood like what is offered at Dixie Crossroads ;-)
To watch a Rocket launch from your own front yard is awesome too. Many folks drive the 3-5 minutes to the river to watch it too. shhh So do I for night launches.
If you like gardening, I have a Gardening group where we learn about Florida gardening and trade or give plants/cuttings and seeds to others to help each other grow plants to enhance the beauty of Titusville and local area while meeting new friends in the area. You are welcome to join us :-)

I"m joining the Facebook group! Thanks for sharing this.
I’m in Cleveland Ohio trying to make this move by next year God willing. I really like it here but I beed a change. Thank you for all the information. I’m trying to research renting and I’m in a budget
@@bargain_mama4958 Each of us are different but moving to Florida from Cincinnati area was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made in my life. If for no other reason, the weather! After all these years, I could never handle the cold weather again LOL I don't go outside if it's below 55 degrees LOL
As far as renting, rent has increased since the pandemic but that is EVERYWHERE. Just be prepared to have first month's rent, deposit and some even require last months rent. I prefer Titusville over other cities in Florida due to the locations. Rarely do hurricanes hit Titusville like they do on the Gulf side, Panhandle and on the east coast SOUTH of Palm Bay.
If you are on Facebook, go to Facebook Market place and search apartments, houses for rent in Brevard County.
Good luck and let me know if I can help you as far as selecting a safe neighborhood. All cities have heavy crime sections and Titusville is no different :-)
Titusville has been a good town. Glad to see someone looking at the positives of this area.
Have lived in Brevard County since 1965, graduated THS, married here, had all 3 of my children at Parrish! My Mother retired from NASA over 30 yrs ago. We have seen every Launch since moving here in 65! I think that the Apollo program was one of my favorite times, until the Space Shuttles came on the scene! The night launches were always amazing. Have always been proud of our town, it is making a real come back! Thanks for making a sincerely positive post.
Boston guy here who bought a house in town a few years ago and hope to get there full-time soon. I did my research and saw a lot of the negative stuff online , but overall the town (doesn't seem like a city to me) has huge potential....on 95, on the water, 35 minutes to MCO and another 10 to Orlando, affordable housing and no traffic!!
The downtown could be great if it just had more things going on........arts, restaurants ect which might get some of the new space industry employees to choose Titusville!
I also hope the little downtown area continues to grow. It's very pretty and has a lot of potential.
Thank you for this video. I moved here from Maryland and was too skeptical about moving here. But everything you mentioned is so true. I love being 35 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from the beach and no traffic. Coming from a big city, I prefer a small town feel.
my dream is to live in Titusville. the town is beautiful. love that bridge. love canaveral national seashore. playalinda. wildlife. great warm weather. would walk that bridge every single evening. just wish my girl would join me in my dream of moving to this town.
Thank you for highlighting the good things about our town. I have lived here since 2000 and all the things you mentioned are the things I still love about Titusville. 💖
Thank you SO MUCH for this, so helpful!!
Thank you for the tips.
Thank you! Husband and I are looking to move to Titusville from South Jersey!
Sameeeee
nice glad you finally came to florida, grew up in brevard.
My wife and moved here from Maine 11 years ago. We knew someone special here and my wife was offered a position with the federal government in Sanford. We enjoyed the wildlife, scenery and warm-hearted people in Northern Maine and miss it greatly. We like living in Titusville because the cost of living is less than Melbourne, Daytona Beach and Orlando. When friends or family visit we can go north to the Speedway or east to the beach, west to the theme parks or south to the big city of Melbourne or Palm Bay. Titusville has a lower crime rate and is growing!
I like watching the rocket launches. There have been so many lately! We used to live in Sanford and watch them there but now we can watch and feel them!!!
Yes, it never gets old!
I really miss walking the bridge - too crowded for the 6-foot social distancing for me! Can't wait to get back to it!
I do love walking the bridge!
I do not live in Florida, but we have traveled there because I have a cousin who lives in Titusville. I'm from Iowa, looking forward to retirement in Titusville in the future. thanks for the positive feedback.
JSC employee here. I'm torn between remaining here or moving to get a KSC job. Thanks for the great vid.
Southeast Georgia, small town ..... must be St Mary's lol. Thank you do much for the video I'm moving back down to FL and Titusville is a place me and my wife are seriously considered.
You're pretty close on that one with the small town in Southeast Georgia!
A traffic jam in Titusville is when you come to a 4 way stop. Both cars try to wave the other car through but you cannot see each other because the windows are darkened.
LOL! So true.
True! I can watch rocket launch from my bed. I only need to open my bedroom window for that, It's amazing!
Thx for this video! We are currently living in Rockledge, having transferred from Kissimmee (traffic is horrendous!) Hubby works in Viera André we are renting. We would like to stay in the area and buy and have considered Titusville, especially since retirement is in the not to distant future. How is diversity?
Great video! I will be starting a job with the usfws at merritt island in two months. I was wondering what neighborhoods to avoid living in. Any other advice is welcome! Thanks.
Congratulations on the new job! I highly recommend visiting the area and figuring out what is best for you. Feel free to get back to me if you have any specific questions and I"ll do the best that I can to help.
Could you make a video on the best areas in Titusville? 💙
i miss seeing the space shuttle launches
They are the best! We can walk out our front door and watch them.
Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for your video, as I just recently discovered Titusville. Can you elaborate on the specific bad areas? I am a NYC resident, retired last October and am looking forward to retiring to Florida. My main concerns for the new home is crime and ensuring a good hospital is closed to our new home. Thanks again for your very informative video. Stay healthy and safe!
Hey there! And welcome. I'm from Upstate NY. Titusville is tricky when it comes to the areas to live in. There are some really great neighborhoods and some that are not safe. Our subdivision is located next to DeLeon which is a rough part of this city and we've heard gunshots coming from that street in the past. You can pretty much identify safe/not safe just by driving around. I would recommend looking at renting or buying in a subdivision. Hope this helps!
@@CherylVanDyke thanks for the advice; I was think the same way, rent first to see if I like it. 👌🙏🇺🇸
Love living in the "Ville"
Hickory hill area? We're about to move down there and no one seems to know anything about the area except it's close to Disney and has spaceships...
What neighborhoods do you recommend to buy a home? We're moving there really soon and we've never visited.
Very good question! I would highly recommend visiting, driving around and looking at the locations of the houses for sale, and finding what are good options for your price range. Titusville has some rough parts that can be close to some decent neighborhoods so you want to keep an eye out for that. I would not recommend buying without looking. When we first moved down, we had selected a number of houses to look at and instantly crossed half of them off as soon as we drove into the neighborhood.
Melbourne/Viera is definently higher end with better neighborhoods but you'll pay quite a bit more. I'm not a fan of Cocoa.
Hi Cheryl, thank you for your video, absolutely LOVE everything you have said to be positives as my husband and I are looking for all those things in our future place to live. I'm from Croatia, Europe, and my husband is from Indiana. We plan to move there in a year. I lived in Miami from 1995-2005. but definitely don't want the big city like that anymore. Living in Croatia now for the past 18 years I'm used to a very safe life and hoping I can have the same in FL. Why Titusville? My best friend and her husband moved there from Boca Raton a year or so ago and she is telling me how wonderful it is for all the things you have mentioned. My husband's dream is to work for Space x and I plan to become a realtor. At the moment I own a destination wedding planning company in Croatia but want to pursue my second dream job in real estate :) A lot of tasks are ahead of us but we are so very much looking forward to making our new home and a new life hopefully in Titusville :). Warm greetings to you and your husband!
Hey Natasha! I appreciate you reaching out. I was in Bosnia in 2003 and am spending 2 weeks in Slovenia in September. I have great love for the Balkans.
Florida has many things to offer but it is important to carefully research where you buy a house. Titusville is nothing like Miami. I couldn’t imagine living in a big city. Titusville has no traffic and is 40 minutes from Orlando if you need some of the amenities of a city. I would encourage you to also look at Melbourne and Viera.
I very much like our neighborhood and feel safe there but we are close to Deleon Street which has a lot of crime and have heard gunshots about 10 times in the past 2 years coming from that area. There are a lot of safe neighborhoods to live in just make sure you check with forums or spend some time int the area to make a good choice for you. And buy a boat!
@@CherylVanDyke Hi Cheryl, thank you for your feedback and advice on the home buying, very much appreciated. Happy to hear you love the Balkans :). Where in Slovenia you will be going to? I'm on the North coast Croatia, near Rijeka, Opatija. Warm greetings!
@@natashabutinakelley9671 I’ll be in Ljubljana. I’m very excited!
The only thing I hate in florida is the humidity, heat, bugs, flatness.
I also live in Florida, and I hate to say it, but let me contradict some of the "pros" given here. Rocket launches - interesting the first few times, but it gets old quickly. How many times can you watch a ball of fire go up into the sky? Out door activities - agree, but you can only do them a few months of the year - Nov till February, if you're lucky. It's hot and very humid, so take that into consideration, especially if you're coming from a cooler climate. Wildlife: birdwatching is great - you can put out feeders and watch them in your back yard in addition to the many trails in good weather. Like with all wildlife, you may see them one day and then not again for a while. I've had guests and taken them to see manatees and dolphins on days none appear. You're much more likely to see possums and snakes - in your back yard! People - well, Titusville is the only place I can say I've lived and after several years still have not made a friend. And, after living several places, people are people - some good, some bad. Nothing special about Titusville. Location - it's not too bad if you're not going out of state, but if you want to drive out of the state, you'll find it's a long way from the next nearest state. And don't get me started on Orlando - tourists everywhere - and getting to the airport is not for the faint hearted. As far as crime - well, everyplace has crime; you just need to beware. But add that to the easy to obtain guns and open carry - well, that's a recipe for disaster. And don't forget hurricanes and the occasional tornado.
Good points to make and for people to know. I focused on the positives because there are quite a few videos that highlight the negatives.
It's tough making friends as an adult - I hear you! The best luck I've had is posting on Nextdoor app that I was looking to meet with a group of women for a book club and that helped
Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like your linked in says you moved to Alabama!
She is too cute!!!!😊😊
I am thinking about buying land in Titusville to,build a small vacation home. I am from Texas.
When you say "people are really nice" Are you talking about only people behind the counter?
Nope. I live in a great neighborhood. I also like to walk the bridge and people say hello to each other in passing.
this is great Welcome.. glad you like us here. .. can I share on my business fb page. I am a realtor
You can! And potentially help us purchase a house in the future :)
@@CherylVanDyke thank you so much. I just posted it on my business page. I truly appreciate your honesty in your concerns about moving here after reading all the negatives that people post. Titusville is one of the special places, and I know it not for everyone. I would be honor to talk to you and your husband in the future, if purchasing a home here is in your plans to see if you would like to work with me.
@@CherylVanDyke I'm looking for a place in Titusville. Are you still a realtor?
Who has good pizza in town?
You need a mic 🎤
I would never move back to Titusville. I found living there quite boring and the shopping is pitiable. The only good thing is Nasa, Ron Jons Surf Shop, and Play Linda Beach.
