7) Titusville, Florida
Located along Florida’s Atlantic-facing “Space Coast”, Titusville is just a stone’s throw away from Kennedy Space Center. Despite this massive attraction literally located in its backyard, Titusville remains a chilled-out beach city with water-oriented activities like swimming, surfing, fishing, and boating. Residents are lucky to live just 12 miles west of Canaveral National Seashore. This is the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline on Florida’s east coast and houses the lovely Playalinda Beach. Titusville also claims the U.S. Space Walk of Fame, the only walk in the nation honoring American astronauts and space engineers. Natural attractions are also big in Titusville. Folks enjoy nature walks or cycles in the Black Point Wildlife Drive, hiking trails in the Enchanted Forest Sanctuary, and manatee-watching at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. On top of all that, the median home value is $149,000. All this makes it easy to settle in Titusville.
