About this home
This property is not a typical manufacture home from its large porch out front, open floor plan and large fenced in back yard. As you enter through the front door you are greeted by the dining room which leads to the kitchen and living room- together but separate by the architectural design -wainscoted walls and pillars. This home has been renovated top to bottom and has so much to offer your family!
3 bedrooms, 2 bath home with a bonus room for your office, crafts or a 4th bedroom. Outback is a huge 2 car detached garage and a large screened in porch giving plenty of space to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather. This little community that makes up Cardinal Terrace is a hidden gem, that is close to shopping, restaurants, Orlando airport and attractions, beaches and hospitals.

The Messtimate
Our automated estimate of the likely sale-price range for this home — modeled from recent closed sales nearby adjusted to today's market, a local size-and-age model, and the county tax roll. It is an estimate, not an appraisal, not market value, and not an offer. A licensed agent's CMA sees the condition, the lot, and the live market that a model can't.
Strong local evidence — built from 20 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market); a local size, age, bed and bath model fit on 59 nearby closed sales.
Track record: across 2,806 recent closed sales we scored, the closed price landed inside the Messtimate range 66% of the time; median miss 8.9% (closed sales statewide, FL + GA feeds that permit an automated estimate). Re-scored weekly; last 2026-11-06.
Actual list price: $245,000 ($190/sq ft) — the seller's asking price is not an input to this range; compare the two.
A 50% spread on the same house — here is what a model can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1970 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; the model can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one.
- Carrying costs & concessions — insurance, CDD/HOA and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And what the live market is doing right now:

Property taxes
✓ Certified county tax rollProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

What it really costs to own 509 Louis Drive
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | The current owner's bill is about $500/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $245,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $3,050/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 15.60 mills); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | The listing states there is no HOA. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Brevard County is $2,348/yr (6,986 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $1,000–$2,500/yr; neither is a quote. |
| Roof and age | Built in 1970. An original roof would be about 56 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $450/month (tax $254, insurance $196). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

Items worth confirming for 509 Louis Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1970 (56 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Brevard County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 1,288 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $3,050/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $2,550 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+510%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Per the listing record, 509 Louis Drive was built in 1970 and has 1,288 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 509 Louis Drive in?
509 Louis Drive is in Cardinal Terrace in Cocoa, Brevard County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 509 Louis Drive have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 509 Louis Drive differ from the current owner's?

Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 509 Louis Drive in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
