Looking for nice GA airports in cocoa/mco area

[CaptWidgeon]

nothing like sanford, to big. spoke to a dude who mentioned merritt island airport. i want to move to florida and would like to buy a hangar that i could put a loft in and live in, or if there is already living quarters that would be great also. is titusville a nice airport? does anyone know of any hangars for sale at merritt island? i don't want a house, to much to take care of. i need to lock the door and not worry about it, so spruce creek isn't what i want.

thanks for any info.

Merritt Island and Titusville are the same airport authority, and they will not let you live on the property. Also, they will not let anyone build anything right now. They are very 1960’s mentality. There waiting list is over two years last I checked, I would try massy (sp?) it’s just north of Titusville.

I dout you'll find a public airport that will let you do that. Space is already at a premium. You should look into airparks.
Add to this that at most public airports, you'll have to give your loft and hangar to the public after 25 years.

Massey is nice, they just put new hangars in, i believe. stay away from deland and flagler, if you want to live...

Bumping an old thread back from the dead...

Looking for feedback on Massey Ranch Airpark and general information about the area.

There is land available in the airpark. Considering building a hangar home but don't know too much about Massey Ranch or New Smyrna.

TIA.
