As of October 2026, Carlton Groves Subd No 3 in Merritt Island, FL has 1 home for sale. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1961 - 1963; none of the 4 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 10 ft).
Last 30 days in Carlton Groves: 1 closed sale (median $442,000). As of October 20, 2026, Listing data provided by the Space Coast Multiple Listing Service. Information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate.
Carlton Groves No 3 is a 60-home pocket built out between 1964 and 1967, with a median age of 1966 and a median living area of 1,964 square feet. Two-thirds of the homes carry homestead exemptions, which means inventory is typically owner-occupied and turnover is slow. With only one active listing today, the subdivision sees very little churn, and buyers should expect to wait for the right home to become available.
At three months of supply, the market sits balanced - neither a distressed seller's market nor a buyer's free-for-all. Price will come down to original-condition versus updated interiors, lot position, and how much deferred maintenance the next owner is willing to absorb. If you need move-in ready in this subdivision, be prepared to pay the premium or look elsewhere; most inventory here rewards the buyer willing to renovate.
Figures in this note are as of July 16, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

1963 state lease limits redevelopment of Titusville marina district

No timeline or cost has been published, and community meetings are planned over the coming months.

The Carlton Groves buying strategy.
If we were buying in Carlton Groves today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Carlton Groves.
Scarcity, vintage, and the condition spread
Carlton Groves No 3 was fully built out in a three-year span from 1964 to 1967, and the homes reflect the modest ranch and split-plan layouts typical of Brevard County's Space Race - era construction. The median living area is just under 2,000 square feet, and nearly every home shares the same architectural DNA: concrete-block construction, terrazzo or original tile, jalousie windows in many cases, and carports or single-car garages. There are no community amenities, no HOA, and no common areas - this is purely a residential street grid.
The high homestead share - two-thirds of the subdivision - signals long-term owners, many of whom bought decades ago and have aged in place. That means deferred maintenance is common, and cosmetic updates vary wildly. One home may have been carefully renovated with hurricane-rated windows, updated kitchens, and new HVAC; the next may still have original everything, including the electrical panel. Buyers must budget for inspection, renovation, and the reality that parts and systems from the 1960s are now sixty years old.
With only one active listing and three months of supply, this is not a market where you can tour five homes in a weekend and make a choice. Listings appear infrequently, and serious buyers should be ready to act when a well-positioned home comes available. The market is balanced today, which means neither buyer nor seller holds overwhelming leverage - price will hinge on condition, lot appeal, and how much work the property requires. If you need turnkey, this subdivision will frustrate you. If you can manage a renovation and want a quiet Merritt Island address with low carry costs and no HOA, Carlton Groves No 3 is worth the wait.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Carlton Groves. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

What it really costs to own in Carlton Groves
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $3,742/yr across 3 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-20). |
|---|---|
| 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 depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1962 across 3 listings. An original roof here would be about 64 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 for replacement where it fails. |
