Emerald Lakes
A quiet Cocoa pocket with easy Orlando reach
Emerald Lakes sits in the interior of Cocoa in Brevard County, a small residential enclave where the pace is unhurried and neighbors know each other by name. It shares its corner of the map with familiar communities like Forest Lakes Of Cocoa, Canaveral Groves, and Catalina Village, and it keeps you within a straightforward commute to the Space Coast beaches and inland Orlando alike. Orlando International Airport is about 37 minutes away and downtown Orlando roughly 43, so weekend trips and work travel stay simple.
The market here is small and tightly held — there are currently zero active listings, so buyers should watch the live map and be ready to move when one comes up. Over the last 12 months just three homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $359,000, with sellers averaging 98% of their asking price. That combination of low turnover and strong price retention tells you this is a place people buy into and stay, so patience and preparation matter more than negotiating leverage. Browse the wider set of Cocoa homes for sale to keep options open while you wait.

Emerald Lakes FAQs
Is Emerald Lakes a good place to live?+
It's a small, quiet residential neighborhood in interior Cocoa where turnover is low and residents tend to stay for years. You're close to established communities like Canaveral Groves and within an easy drive of both the Space Coast and Orlando, which is about 43 minutes to downtown.
Is Emerald Lakes expensive?+
It sits in a mid-range bracket for the area, with homes selling at a median of $359,000 over the past 12 months. That's a reasonable entry point compared with waterfront and coastal Brevard, and you can compare it against the broader Cocoa homes for sale to see where it lands.
What do homes cost in Emerald Lakes?+
The three homes sold in the last year closed at a median of $359,000. There are no active listings right now, so exact current pricing isn't available — checking the live map is the best way to catch new inventory as it appears.
How is the market in Emerald Lakes?+
It's a low-inventory, tightly held market — three sales in 12 months and zero homes currently active. Sellers average 98% of their asking price, so when a home does list, buyers should expect to act decisively rather than count on deep discounts.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA and property tax figures aren't currently reported for this small neighborhood, largely because so few homes trade here. When a listing does surface, your agent can pull the exact carrying costs before you write an offer.
