As of September 2026, the MLS records 10 closed sales in Groves in Merritt Island, FL since 2009, the most recent in December 2025. Across Merritt Island as a whole, 267 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $439,900, 49 median days on market, with 71 homes for sale today. At that median and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,860 ($6,240 with the full homestead exemption).
The Groves Phase II is a small pocket of Merritt Island, and with no active amenity set pulled from current MLS listings, price here is driven by the homes themselves — condition, updates, lot, and how a given property shows — rather than by any community feature you're paying a premium to access. Treat each listing on its own merits; there is no clubhouse or gate doing the heavy lifting on value.
For buyers, that means the negotiation is about the individual house, not the address. For sellers, it means presentation and condition carry the day: an updated, well-kept home distinguishes itself far more here than in a community where shared amenities set a baseline. Come in with sober comparisons of like-for-like homes.
The 60-Second Overview
Groves Phase II is a modest residential enclave on Merritt Island in Brevard County, where value tracks the condition and character of each individual home rather than any shared community draw.

Who Groves is best for.
Best for

The Groves buying strategy.
If we were buying in 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 Groves.
A home-by-home market
With no community amenities identified from current listings, there's nothing here inflating or subsidizing price — no dues-funded pool, no gate, no shared docks that would show up in the numbers. That tends to keep the conversation grounded on the fundamentals: square footage, updates, lot, and how the house has been maintained. Expect a genuinely wide spread between a dated original-condition home and a renovated one on the same street.
Location does the rest of the work. This is Merritt Island in Brevard County, so proximity to the causeways, waterways, and the broader Space Coast job corridor factors into what a buyer will pay. Ask us for the specific commute and access picture for any address you're weighing, because within a small community those location differences matter more than a headline stat.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Groves. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We'll walk you through like-for-like sales, flag where a listing is priced on aspiration rather than condition, and tell you plainly when a home isn't worth the ask.
