Serving Local Families
Melbourne High School serves the historic downtown Melbourne area and surrounding neighborhoods with deep community roots.
About Melbourne High School
Melbourne High School is one of Brevard County's oldest and most established high schools, serving the neighborhoods of central and south Melbourne including the historic downtown area, Eau Gallie, and surrounding communities. The school's zone encompasses a diverse mix of housing stock - from 1920s-era downtown bungalows to 1970s ranch homes to more recent construction. This diversity means remodeling contractors in the Melbourne High zone need versatility, working with everything from historic renovation to modern updates. The neighborhoods surrounding Melbourne High offer strong value compared to the Viera corridor, attracting first-time buyers, growing families, and investors who recognize the potential in well-built older homes. Kitchen and bathroom renovations, impact window upgrades, and comprehensive rehabs of older properties are the most common projects. The walkability to downtown Melbourne, proximity to the Indian River, and the character of the established neighborhoods make this an increasingly popular area for buyers seeking alternatives to the planned-community model.
School Zone Living
Families who choose to live in the Melbourne High School zone are making a long-term commitment to the area. This means investing in homes that serve well for years - kitchens that function as the center of family life, bathrooms that handle busy morning routines, and outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertaining. The strong school reputation supports property values, making home improvement investments in this zone particularly rewarding.

Common Questions
Yes. The Melbourne High zone contains some of the best renovation opportunities in Brevard County. Well-built concrete block homes from the 1960s-1980s with outdated interiors can be transformed into modern, desirable homes for $50,000 to $100,000 in renovation costs, while gaining $80,000 to $150,000 in market value. The strong demand for updated homes near downtown Melbourne supports excellent renovation ROI.
Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint and asbestos-containing materials that require professional handling during renovation. Electrical panels may need upgrading to support modern appliance loads. Plumbing in pre-1975 homes may use galvanized or polybutylene pipes that should be replaced during a renovation. ELSO Contracting assesses all of these factors during our initial consultation and includes necessary upgrades in the project scope.
Home purchase prices in the Melbourne High zone are significantly lower than Viera, which means the total investment (purchase + renovation) can deliver a finished home at a lower total cost than buying an equivalent updated home in Viera. However, renovation costs themselves are similar or slightly higher for older homes due to the additional work involved with aging systems. The overall value proposition is strong.
