If you are relocating to Patrick Space Force Base and school pickup is the hardest part of the day, do not choose a neighborhood from a commute map alone.

If one spouse works near Patrick Space Force Base or elsewhere beachside and the other needs mainland access, compare South Patrick Shores, Palm Shores, and Suntree by routine first and real estate second.
