2. Get to know the characters

Figure out in advance if your prospective neighbors will be new friends--or a real pain in the neck. 😃

3. Check out the medical care in the Retirement Community you are considering

Does the Cocoa Beach community provide medical services? If not, how close are you to the nearest medical facility? 💊

4. Factor in Cocoa Beach tax rates

Complying with residency requirement in Brevard County can create great income-tax advantages for retirees and be sure to compare property taxes as well. ✅ 

5. Time your buy to get the best price

6. Study the community financials

Review past special assessments and the finances of the homeowners' association. 📓

Many retirement communities in Cocoa Beach will have to approve you before you move in.  Most of the time it is just a formality, but make sure you know the process. 📰

8. Explore "membership"

Some Full-service Cocoa Beach 55 Plus communities frequently offer specific club-memberships. Study the requirements, options and additional cost. 📜

9.  Scrutinize the activity calendar

You may not have thought this much about golf, tennis and games like boccie since your school day. But again, you are about to have a lot more time on your hands. 📆

10.  Research the restrictions

You may be startled by what some 55+ communities disallow: pets; outdoor grilling; cigar smoke and parking in the driveway to name a few. 👮

11.  Consider the caretakers
