Could Melbourne Be the Right Part of Brevard for You?

Explore housing, neighborhoods, commuting, beaches, local amenities, and everyday life in one of the central hubs of Florida’s Space Coast.

Melbourne puts you in the middle of a lot of what makes Brevard attractive. You are close to major employers, shopping, restaurants, the Indian River, beachside communities, Melbourne Orlando International Airport, and a wide variety of housing options. Depending on where you live, the experience can feel very different — from established neighborhoods to newer communities, larger properties, condos, waterfront areas, and quick access to the beach.

Melbourne relocation questions

What should you research before moving to Melbourne?

Think about more than just the house. Where will you be working? How often will you cross the causeways? Do you want to be closer to beachside, Viera, Palm Bay, or West Melbourne? Are schools, lot size, newer construction, or proximity to restaurants more important? Those details can make a big difference in which part of Melbourne makes the most sense.
