Moving from Tampa to Space Coast

I’m moving to the Space Coast soon for work near Merritt Island (Rocket Park area).

Trying to figure out where to live. I’m fine with like a 20–30 min commute.

Late 20s, single. Just looking for a nice apartment in a decent area that doesn’t feel completely dead.

I’ve been looking at Rockledge, Cocoa, maybe Cocoa Beach. Viera looks nice but might be a bit out of budget.

Any areas or apartments you’d recommend (or stay away from)?
