Brevard County Reviews
Rating 4.02 out of 5 42 reviews
I like the community and the academics of Brevard are impressive. In Brevard I would really enjoy to see more gatherings and or events. While Brevard is somewhat small, the community is not as connected as it could be! I believe there should more opportunities for fun or even volunteering. It would help create a stronger connection and better foundation for the whole county.
This county is overrated. Half of the people here are addicted to something. I've lived here all my life, and I've never realized how horribly racist, homophobic, and sexist the people here are. Not only this, but South Brevard is currently draining the life out of North Brevard, leaving to widespread homelessness in North Brevard. The roads are packed with people who do not know how to drive. Many people can't get a decent job because no one ever pays them, and I personally know people who are one tragedy away from going bankrupt. This county is a horrible place to live in, and I can't believe the fact that thousands of people move here every year.
It is a friendly place to stay. I have been living here for the past 3 years. It does beautiful beaches across and good places to visit. Brevard County is a nice place to visit for the sun, surf, and sand. In addition to the beautiful beaches of Brevard, there are other attractions tourists to the area frequent. Such attractions consist of the Kennedy Space Center, Ron Johns Surf Shop, the Astronaut Hall of Fame, the Ace of Hearts Ranch, the Sebastian Inlet and Reserve, the famous Wednesday night Jamaican-Me-Crazy night at the Holiday Inn Melbourne Oceanfront, Cape Canaveral Cruise lines, Cocoa Expo Sports Center, the Cocoa Beach Pier, the Baseball Stadium in Viera, and the Brevard Zoo. These places, besides the beach, are Brevard's most attended area attractions. Most of our tourists who come to this area to see these attractions come from the Central Florida cities of Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Ft. Lauderdale.
