About Eau Gallie Arts District
Eau Gallie Arts District
The Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD) is Melbourne's cultural jewel, a Florida Main Street community that has transformed the historic Eau Gallie neighborhood into one of the most vibrant arts and dining destinations on the Space Coast. Stretching along Highland Avenue and Eau Gallie Boulevard, EGAD features over 50 art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, with 30+ outdoor murals, mosaics, and sculptures forming an open-air museum that draws visitors from across the region. The Rossetter House Museum and Gardens, Eau Gallie Civic Center, and regular community events including First Friday art walks add to the district's energy. Living near EGAD means immersion in a walkable, culturally rich neighborhood that is increasingly rare in suburban Brevard County. The surrounding residential streets contain some of the most character-rich housing in the county - Florida bungalows, Craftsman cottages, and mid-century homes on tree-lined streets with mature tropical landscaping. Remodeling near EGAD balances modern functionality with the neighborhood's artistic, historic character. Updated homes in the arts district consistently command premium prices because they offer a lifestyle that cannot be replicated in planned communities.
