    What's your opinion on Viera? I'm still floating the idea around.

    Viera was the latest and greatest maybe 5-6 years ago when I was looking to build a dream home. Haven’t been keeping up with with real estate and local news since I started OTR 7 years ago.
    For me it’s just getting super congested here.
    What I personally would do if I didn’t have baggage is move beach side..Indiatlantic is my favorite town. Beaches, bikini’s and beer year round :)

    I've been here since the early 80s. Lived and worked in Cape Canaveral rents on the beach were under 500 for a one bedroom. Bought a house 2 blocks from the beach for 80 grand. Lost that in the divorce. It's worth a small fortune today.

    If/when you get sick of looking for coast-to-coast dry van work from central FL -- check out Indian River Transport.

    They do runs to/from Flawider/west coast.

    But it's (mostly) food-grade tanker.

    Apparently it's a good fleet.

    In fact -- there's an active thread here on the Forum about them:

    I looked at Indiatlantic-By-The-Sea on Zillow. Even the older houses are expensive, but affordable. Many of the homes and condos show big price cuts.

    I live in Melbourne. Viera is OK. If you can swing it, look for a condo in satellite Beach or Indian Harbor Beach. if you go further south, such as Melbourne Beach, the prices may go down.

    I know, he said that he didn’t want reefer, maybe refrigerated express would work for him.
