Lake Washington in Melbourne, FL Homes For Sale
The Lake Washington area runs west along Lake Washington Road from the Wickham Road and Post Road corridor out to the lake itself. Lake Washington is the largest lake in Brevard County at roughly 4,362 acres, about four miles by one mile and ten to fifteen feet deep, and it is part of the St. Johns River chain. The character out here is rural and large-lot rather than subdivision, and it changes noticeably the further west you go.
What Lake Washington Gets Right
Freshwater, Not Salt
This is the only part of the Melbourne market where the water is a St. Johns River lake rather than the lagoon or the ocean. Different boating, different fishing, different insurance conversation.
The Public Park
Lake Washington Park at 6000 Lake Washington Road covers about twenty-six acres with a two-lane motorized boat ramp, an airboat launch, a 120-foot fishing pier, a playground, four rentable pavilions and free car and trailer parking.
Conservation Next Door
The St. Johns River Water Management District River Lakes Conservation Area sits adjacent, which puts a large block of protected land at the western edge of the market.
What To Expect
No Single Neighborhood
Lake Washington is a corridor, not a subdivision. Lot sizes, build years, association status and utility setup all vary street to street. Treat every listing as its own case.
No I-95 Interchange
There is no interchange on Lake Washington Road itself. The nearest are Exit 183 at Eau Gallie Boulevard and Exit 191 at Wickham Road, so factor the surface drive into your commute math.
Distances
From the park, Melbourne Orlando International Airport runs about ten miles and L3Harris about the same. The Indialantic beach is roughly fourteen.
Three Things To Check Out Here
The Actual Flood Zone
Do not take the listing's word for it. Pull the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with Brevard County Floodplain Administration at (321) 617-7340, which is the county's official repository for the flood maps. Brevard County flood zones explained.
Well, Septic And Access
Rural parcels frequently run on well and septic, and some sit behind easements rather than county-maintained road. Confirm both, and confirm who maintains the road, before you write.
Roof Age And Wind Mitigation
Build years out here span decades, so roof and system age vary enormously property to property. Ask for the wind mitigation report, form OIR-B1-1802, which stays valid up to five years and credits roof covering, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, secondary water resistance and opening protection. How Florida homeowners insurance actually works.
