Review of Rockledge, Florida


tiny lots - not great
Star Rating - 9/18/2010
Rockledge and Viera have tiny housing lots, but the land here is very cheap. Is strange that builders would not have had large lots for most developments. As a result, there is terrible laundry product (the recent stinky toxic stuff) spewing out into the neighborhoods. The air around Viera, especially, is terrible because of this.
You are close to the beach, which is positive. The county is very poor, so most people here don't have money to improve their properties. If you have any assets, you don't want to move here because of all the deadbeats - you'll be paying for them.
If this town and county were not so polluted with all these sickening chemicals, would rate it much higher. Still would have a hard time rating it very high because of the low income.

I'm afraid what you are saying about the income & poverty levels in Rockledge is in direct conflict with the 2010 Census Reporting for this city. In 2010 Rockledge's median household income was $45,218, and the median income for a family was $52,332. And in 2010 Rockledge had the lowest percentage of people living in poverty than any other municipality measured in the county, 5%, compared to an average of 10% countywide.
