About

Life in Titusville

Titusville works well if you're looking for a smaller Florida city with genuine character rather than resort energy. The aerospace industry shaped this place—the end of the space shuttle program hit hard in 2011, but the economy has stabilized around Parrish Medical Center (largest employer), aerospace manufacturers like Knight's Armament, and steady tourism from the nearby Kennedy Space Center and warbird air shows. You'll find a median home price around $267,000 and median rent near $1,334, which is solid for Florida.
