Rose Hill Estates Unit 1 2Nd Sec is a community in Merritt Island, Brevard County, FL. Across Merritt Island as a whole, 109 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $450,000, 52 median days on market, with 225 homes for sale today. At that median and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,020 ($6,400 with the full homestead exemption).
Rose Hill Estates Unit 1 2nd Sec is a small, established pocket of Merritt Island, and with a closings window of just two recent sales there isn't enough volume to publish a reliable median or price trend. What that means in practice: price here is set property by property, driven by condition, lot, and updates rather than by a deep comp set you can lean on.
For a buyer, that thin data is a reason to underwrite the specific house, not the ZIP code — an appraisal and a careful walk-through matter more than any neighborhood average. For a seller, the flip side is real: with few recent trades, your listing effectively sets the comp, so pricing discipline and presentation carry outsized weight.

The 60-Second Overview
This is a modest, low-turnover section of Merritt Island with no HOA-style amenities identified in current MLS listings, so what you buy is the house and the lot rather than a bundle of community features.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Rose Hill Estates is best for.
Best for
- Buyers seeking an established Merritt Island home who will value it on its own condition and lot
- Owner-occupants comfortable with an appraisal-and-inspection-led purchase over comp-driven certainty
- Buyers who prefer no amenity or community fees folded into monthly costs
Probably not for
- Buyers who require a large recent-sales set and firm trend data before making an offer
- Those wanting resort-style community amenities, since none are identified in current listings
- Anyone who wants to skip a rigorous inspection on a coastal property

The Rose Hill Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Rose Hill Estates 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 Rose Hill Estates.
Reading a thin-data street
Only a couple of closings anchor this community's recent record, which is common for a small established section and is not a red flag on its own — it simply means the usual median-and-trend story doesn't apply. Treat each sale as a single data point, not a market signal, and expect a wide spread between a dated home and an updated one.
No community amenities show up in current listings, which keeps carrying costs simple and puts the value question squarely on the individual property: roof, systems, kitchen and bath condition, and lot. On Merritt Island, factor in the practical realities of coastal ownership — insurance and inspection findings can move a deal more than any headline number.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Rose Hill Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
