The City of Melbourne is located on east central Florida's Space Coast. Melbourne is about an hour's drive south of the Kennedy Space Center, and 1-1/2 hours east of Walt Disney World, Universal Resort and SeaWorld. The City of Melbourne is in the southern portion of Brevard County. Interstate-95 runs through the county from north-to-south. Access roads from the west include the Beechline Expressway and U.S. 192, which runs through Melbourne to the beaches.

While most of Melbourne is located on the Florida mainland, a small portion is located on a barrier island. The Indian River Lagoon separates the mainland from the island. The island is a narrow strip of land that separates the Lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean. The connection of the lagoon to the Atlantic is by way of a handful of inlets, including the manmade Sebastian Inlet at the southern end of Brevard County. Today Melbourne has grown to include the Space Coast known as the high-tech center of the southeast. Companies such as Florida Institute of Technologies, Harris Corporation and Northrop Grumman, to name a few, all call Melbourne home.

The Melbourne metropolitan area has been ranked as one of the most affordable in the nation for homebuyers in a survey by the National Association of Home Builders. The 1998 "Money" Magazine 'Best Places' survey rated Melbourne and Brevard County 7th among medium-sized Southern communities.
