Historically, the place that gives this entire area its “name” is
Melbourne, the oldest and best-known community on what Floridians call
the “Space Coast”. Melbourne is 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. Melbourne
is a technical center and thus a strong a job producer plus has a great
cost of living standard. The result is that Melbourne
real estate and Brevard
county real estate are very desirable, with homes starting in the mid $150,000
range.
When you approach the Ocean over the high bridge across the Indian River
(the Intra-Coastal Waterway or ICW), your view is sweeping. It is not blocked
by condos and hotels, thanks to strict zoning laws enacted well before
the current rapid growth and development. For one thing, there are 3- and
4-story height limits, unlike what you find throughout much of South Florida.
For another, there is lots of easy to find, easy to use “forever” beach access. Before development there was conservation, and Melbourne and its beachside communities have some of the nicest public beaches in all of Florida
The location makes anywhere in the state very accessible. Orlando is just an hour away and 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.
