Real Estate in Melbourne, Florida

Melbourne is the oldest and best-known community on what Floridians call the “Space Coast”. It is the right in the center of a long north south corridor coastal Brevard County that is sandwiched between the St. Johns River Basin to the West and the Atlantic Ocean. It stretches from Palm Bay and other smaller communities in the south through Melbourne, West Melbourne, and Melbourne Village in central Brevard to Viera, Cocoa and Titusville in the north. It includes a half dozen beach communities on one long, fabulous barrier island stretching from Sebastian Inlet to Cape Canaveral.

It is one of the most rapidly growing residential areas in Florida, and it currently boasts the fifth most rapidly appreciating home property values in the entire United States. Melbourne itself is evocative of an older not so built up Florida. The main streets are wide and the city is well maintained. It has Arts, Fine Dining Health and Educational facilities that compare with the best Florida’s larger cities offer. It’s just an hour from Orlando and three hours from Miami. The location makes anywhere in the state very accessible. Even remote Key West is just a 5 or 6 hour drive. As to Outdoor and recreational opportunities, in my opinion it’s one of the best places in Florida. The beaches are not jammed, there is plenty of access and it’s not wall to wall development.

It has also a great Old-Town, downtown area with specialty shops, antique stores, theaters, restaurants and more. There are dining places overlooking both the Indian River Lagoon (the IntraCoastal) and the Ocean.

In a recent study, most people say that Melbourne is one of the best places of investing a real estate for the following reasons:
  • It is a safe place to live.
  • It has great weather.
  • It’s easy to travel and get to work and there are good job opportunities.
  • There is a wide variety of recreational facilities.
  • It’s easy to get involved in the community.
  • It’s a great place for creative people.

All of that, Real Estate in Melbourne is a good deal with single-family homes, minutes from the beaches can be had from 200,000 up. The landside communities of West Melbourne and Melbourne Village, plus its beachside communities of Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, and Floridana (going south), or Indian Harbor Beach and Satellite Beach (going north) is simply a great place to live.
