About Student Housing in Melbourne
Melbourne is a mid-sized city of approximately 80,000 residents on Florida's Space Coast, situated along the western shore of the Indian River Lagoon with the Atlantic Ocean just a short drive to the east. The city is the largest urban center in Brevard County and serves as the commercial and cultural hub of the southern Space Coast, anchored by the aerospace and defense industry that has defined the region since the early days of the US space program. Florida Institute of Technology brings roughly 3,500 undergraduate students into the city each year, contributing to a young professional and student presence that mixes comfortably with the area's engineering and science workforce. Downtown Melbourne has undergone significant revitalization in recent years, with new restaurants, breweries, and art spaces along New Haven Avenue and the Indian River Lagoon waterfront. Melbourne Beach and Satellite Beach are within 15 minutes of the city center, giving residents easy access to the Atlantic coast. The cost of living is moderate by Florida standards, and the combination of beaches, career opportunities, and warm weather year-round makes Melbourne an appealing place for students to settle into.
