River Island Raquette Club is an established single-family community on the north end of Merritt Island (ZIP 32953), Brevard County, reached off River Island Drive with addresses on streets including Raquette Court and River Island Street. It sits in the part of the island near the Indian River, so some parcels may carry water proximity, water views or frontage. Treat lot and waterfront specifics as parcel-by-parcel.

The community name references a racquet or tennis amenity, and some sources describe one. Amenities like this can be community-owned, privately held, or no longer active, so confirm whether any racquet, tennis or shared facility exists today, who maintains it, and whether it carries a fee, in writing with the HOA and the listing.

Because this is a barrier-island setting near the Indian River lagoon, the flood zone and elevation are central to both insurance cost and resale. Flood designations are parcel-specific and can change, so pull the flood zone and an insurance quote for any specific home before you anchor on a number.

The carrying-cost and condition picture is the part to read carefully. Confirm the HOA dues, if any, and exactly what they include, the age and condition of the home, the roof and systems, and the flood and wind insurance picture. The read is the lot, any waterfront, the HOA and the flood and insurance picture. Confirm the school assignment by address with Brevard Public Schools if that matters to you.
