West Melbourne
 
Located in the southern portion of Brevard County, this region is considered Florida’s Space Coast and is recognized as the high-tech center of the southeast. Major employers in the West Melbourne vicinity include Harris Corporation, Rockwell Collins, Florida Institute of Technology, Holmes Regional Hospital, Northrop Grumman Corporation, GE Transportation Systems and Rossi Electronics. The presence of these large companies has helped stimulate economic growth and has aided in the development of new shopping centers and other entertainment projects that make West Melbourne much more than just another Florida coastal region vacation community.

West Melbourne is a great place to raise a family. Clean and safe parks are strategically located throughout the city so that a park is within walking distance from practically every neighborhood. What’s more, the local school system continues to grow to meet the demands of a growing population. While all public high schools for this district remain in nearby Melbourne City, some four miles to the east, West Melbourne does have one private high school, Brevard Christian, which offers classes for grades PK – 12. Feeder schools located in the city include Central Middle, Meadowlane Elementary, West Melbourne Elementary for Science, Explorer Elementary & Middle and Educational Horizons Charter. Brevard Community College is located 21 miles away in the city of Cocoa while the two colleges in the area, Rollins College-Brevard Campus and Florida Institute of Technology, are both less than four miles away.

Due to the presence of outstanding schools and great employment opportunities, the city of West Melbourne also boasts a thriving housing market featuring a wide variety of housing styles that are priced accordingly, based on size, structure and location. Also, what once resembled a bedroom community, West Melbourne is now experiencing an influx of retail stores, and restaurant chains to compliment an already vast selection of specialty shops, boutiques, coffee houses and eateries that dot city streets in the downtown area. Hospitals in the area include Circles of Care, Health South Sea Pines and Holmes Regional Medical Center. Clearly the infrastructure is present in West Melbourne and as this progressive city continues to receive positive leadership from local councilmen there is little reason to believe that this space coast community will not prosper for decades to come. So, if you are considering a move to east central Florida, consider the city of West Melbourne and discover for yourself the many reasons why this is the perfect place for you and yours to call home.
