Living in Florida's Space Coast
Hammock Lakes East
Hammock Lakes East is two recorded phases off Brunswick Way and Eber Boulevard, laid out on three curving streets: Glasbern Circle, Sedgewood Circle and Tuscarora Court. The houses went up between 2003 and 2005 on compact lots, and a City of West Melbourne park with courts and trails sits inside the neighborhood rather than across town.
Hammock Lakes East In West Melbourne, Florida
Start with the address confusion, because it costs people money here. Hammock Lakes East and Hammock Lakes West are two different recorded communities, and listings have genuinely described homes on Glasbern Circle as being in the West community. There is also a Hammock Lakes over in Viera that has nothing to do with either. Before you compare two prices, confirm which plat the legal description names. The streets are the tell: Glasbern, Sedgewood and Tuscarora are the East side.
This is the City of West Melbourne, not Melbourne. West Melbourne incorporated in 1959 when voters moved to keep the area from being annexed into Melbourne, and it has been the fastest growing municipality in Brevard County since 2000. It runs its own police department and its own permitting, and it buys its water wholesale from the City of Melbourne. That distinction shows up the first time you pull a permit or call about a code question.
The houses came in a tight run from 2003 through 2005, mostly 2004, and they sit on small lots between about a seventh and a quarter acre. Sizes run roughly 1,666 to 2,769 square feet with three to five bedrooms, two to three baths and two car garages across the board. Split floor plans, vaulted ceilings, screened rear porches and fenced yards are the pattern. Homes have been trading between $315,000 and $508,000, with something near $380,000 typical, which puts this among the more reachable addresses in the city.
Water shows up on about a third of these lots, and it is lake and retention frontage rather than anything navigable. The bigger amenity is Hammock Lakes Park, a City of West Melbourne facility on Tuscarora Court inside the neighborhood, with a playground, basketball and volleyball courts and walking trails. A public park maintained by the city, sitting a few doors from your driveway, is a genuinely different arrangement from an association owned tot lot, and it is worth understanding which one you are relying on.
There is a homeowners association and membership applies. The governing body registered with the Florida Division of Corporations as Hammock Lakes Homeowners Association of Brevard, Inc. has been active since 2002, which lines up with the build window, and the records here also carry the shorthand names owners use day to day. Dues apply. Ask for the current documents, the budget and the reserve position, and confirm in writing which of the two Hammock Lakes communities the assessment actually covers.

Hammock Lakes East Details
A City Park In The Middle
Hammock Lakes Park is a City of West Melbourne facility on Tuscarora Court, inside the neighborhood. Playground, basketball and volleyball courts, walking trails. The city maintains it, which means it does not depend on your association budget to stay open.
Three Circles, Two Phases
Glasbern, Sedgewood and Tuscarora across Phase 1 and Phase 2. The curving layout keeps through traffic out and it also means nobody drives your street unless they live on it or are lost.
Reachable West Melbourne
This is one of the more accessible price points inside the city limits, in a place where new construction has pushed most numbers well past it. For a first purchase in West Melbourne, these two phases deserve a serious look.
Do Not Confuse East With West
Hammock Lakes East and Hammock Lakes West are separate communities with separate plats, and marketing copy has crossed them more than once. There is also a Hammock Lakes in Viera. Read the legal description, not the headline.
Built In Three Years
2003 to 2005 across the whole community. Roofs, water heaters and HVAC systems have all reached replacement age together, so a home with documented 2023 dates on those items is worth measurably more than an identical one without.
Small Lots, Real Fences
A seventh to a quarter of an acre is compact, and owners have responded with vinyl and wood privacy fencing, screened porches and tight, usable yards. If you want acreage, this is not the neighborhood. If you want less to mow, it is.

Hammock Lakes East Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hammock Lakes East in Melbourne or West Melbourne?
West Melbourne. It is its own incorporated city, with its own police department and permitting, even though the mailing address and the 32904 ZIP overlap with neighboring areas.
How is this different from Hammock Lakes West?
They are separate recorded communities. Glasbern, Sedgewood and Tuscarora are the East streets. Listings have occasionally mislabeled one as the other, so verify the plat in the legal description before comparing prices.
Is there a homeowners association?
Yes, membership applies and dues are collected. Hammock Lakes Homeowners Association of Brevard, Inc. has been registered and active with the Florida Division of Corporations since 2002. Request the current documents and budget in writing, and confirm the scope of what it governs.
Is there a park?
Yes, and it is a city park rather than an association amenity. Hammock Lakes Park sits on Tuscarora Court inside the neighborhood, maintained by West Melbourne, with a playground, basketball and volleyball courts and walking trails.
Do any homes have water frontage?
About a third do, on lakes and retention areas. It is a view and a wildlife feature, not navigable water, so plan on a kayak at most and check the maintenance responsibility for the bank behind the house.
What size are the lots?
Small by Brevard standards, roughly a seventh to a quarter of an acre. That keeps yard work down and it is one reason the price point stays reachable, but it also means neighbors are close.
How far is Interstate 95?
Close. Exit 176 is a short run west, and Hollywood Boulevard and Eber Boulevard connect the neighborhood to the rest of West Melbourne without touching US 192. Melbourne Orlando International Airport and the aerospace corridor are both inside twenty minutes.
What should I inspect here?
The roof, the HVAC and the water heater above everything else, because the whole community was built in a three year window and those systems age on the same schedule. Then the fence line and any lake bank if the lot backs to water.
Glasbern Circle, West Melbourne 32904
Hammock Lakes East sits in the southern half of West Melbourne, reached from Hollywood Boulevard and Eber Boulevard by way of Brunswick Way and Stratford Pointe Drive. Glasbern Circle and Sedgewood Circle carry nearly all the addresses, with Tuscarora Court holding the city park. The surrounding grid of Eber, Hollywood and Henry connects the neighborhood without pushing you out to US 192 for every errand.
Interstate 95 is a few minutes west at exit 176, which makes Palm Bay quick to the south and Orlando about an hour northwest. The Palm Bay Road and Minton Road retail corridors handle daily shopping, Melbourne Orlando International Airport is a short run northeast, and the beach crossings at Melbourne and Indialantic are roughly twenty minutes east.
