diverse areas
I lived in Mims for 4 years. It takes getting used to. I loved the fact that there wasn't much for traffic, compared to Central Fl. My teenage daughter learned to drive while living in Mims, which worked out well for her.
There are different types of residential areas: the expensive homes, the "red-neck-don't care about the junk cars in the yard" homes, and the mobile homes. The mediocre level homes, which there are alot of, could be relatively nice but then you got Billy-Jo-Bob living on either side of you that don't care that their dirty/cluttered yards make yours look bad.
There is only one movie theater in Mims/Titusville area, and it's not the greatest. Old and run down. You have to drive into Merritt Island or Melbourne for a decent theater. Restaurants aren't that great. The only place Mims has a name from is "Dixie-Crossroads" Seafood, which does have great food.
The two small shopping malls in Titusville are still trying to re-open with all the stores leased. Last I was there, only 1/4 of the stores were open.
If you have a pond or lake near by your home, you will have constant mosquito
problems. The entire year round!
One nice aspect of the area, is watching the Shuttle take off right from your back yard! Can't beat that!
Overall, the 4 years we were there was adequate. "red-neck" neighbors and nothing to do in the area were our only complaints.
