Living in Florida's Space Coast
Sheridan Manor
Sheridan Manor is a single short street, Manor Place, running north off Sheridan Road in the 32904 ZIP. Three bedroom houses from 1977 and 1978 sit on quarter to third acre lots, the cul-de-sac ends at a lake, there is no homeowners association, and the city has this street in its funded septic to sewer program.
Sheridan Manor In West Melbourne, Florida
Manor Place is the entire community. You reach it from Sheridan Road, which you get to from Wickham Road on the east or John Rodes Boulevard on the west, and the street runs north a short distance to a cul-de-sac with a lake behind it. Every house here was built in 1977 or 1978. There is no gate, no entry sign and no association, and the whole thing takes about four minutes to walk end to end.
This street is inside the City of West Melbourne, which surprises people, because the mailing address says Melbourne and the Sheridan Road corridor genuinely does straddle a boundary. The census place boundary puts Manor Place on the city side, and the city itself names Manor Place in its own utility planning documents. That means West Melbourne handles your permits, your inspections and your code questions. Confirm it in writing for the parcel before you rely on it.
The infrastructure story here is unusual and specific. West Melbourne studied seven areas for conversion from septic to municipal sewer, and Manor Place was selected in the top priority group alongside Dundee Circle, funded through a Florida Department of Environmental Protection grant. Work has reached the street: at least one property has had sewer lines completed with connection scheduled and the cost covered rather than assessed to the owner. Ask exactly where the parcel you want stands in that sequence.
The houses are 1970s substantial rather than 1970s small. Three bedrooms, two or three baths, roughly 1,862 to 2,633 square feet, brick on at least one, with flexible upstairs bonus space on the larger plan. One property carries a 26 by 36 foot garage and workshop with six vehicle bays, which is a genuinely rare thing on a quarter acre lot and the kind of feature people buy the whole house for. Pools appear on more than one lot.
Lots run about 0.25 to 0.34 of an acre, several backing to woods rather than another house, and one sits directly on the lake with pavered walkways, gardens and a deck running down to the water. Values here have run from about $390,000 to $649,000, with the middle near $494,900. The tradeoff is age: 1977 systems have been replaced once or twice, so get roof, air conditioning, water heater and pool equipment dates on every one of them.

Sheridan Manor Details
A Documented Sewer Conversion
Most older streets in this corridor leave you guessing about septic. Manor Place does not. The city named it in the top priority group of its septic to sewer program, funded by a state grant, and work has already reached the street on at least one property. Ask the city where your parcel stands, in writing.
A Six Bay Workshop
One property here carries a 26 by 36 foot garage and workshop with room for six vehicles. On a third acre lot in an incorporated city that is close to unrepeatable, because you could not get it permitted and built today for anything like what it is worth. If you need shop space, this street is worth watching.
The Lake At The End
The cul-de-sac terminates at water, and the property with direct frontage has made the most of it with pavered walks, gardens, a pergola and a deck down to the shoreline. Even the houses without frontage benefit from the dead end and the absence of anything behind it.
No Covenants, In A City
There is no association and no mandatory dues, so nobody is approving your paint color. You still answer to West Melbourne code, which is the useful middle ground: freedom on the details, an actual code authority on the things that matter. Confirm what the city allows on fences, sheds and vehicle parking.
Wooded Back Lines
Several of these lots back to trees rather than another roof. That gives the street a country feel that its actual location does not justify, since you are minutes from Wickham Road. It also means leaf load, overhanging limbs and a conversation with your insurer about trees near the structure.
Nineteen Seventies Bones, Updated Skins
Kitchens with quartz and double ovens, remodeled baths, plantation shutters, eucalyptus and designer tile flooring, newer roofs and air conditioning. The layouts are still 1977 layouts. Decide whether you want the original character or a house someone has already opened up, because both exist on this street.

Sheridan Manor Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Sheridan Manor?
On Manor Place, a short street running north off Sheridan Road in the 32904 ZIP. From US 192 head north on Wickham Road, west on Sheridan Road, then north on Manor Place. Coming from I-95 you can take Ellis Road east, then John Rodes Boulevard south to Sheridan Road.
Is Sheridan Manor in Melbourne or West Melbourne?
West Melbourne. The mailing address on these houses says Melbourne, but the incorporated place boundary puts Manor Place inside the City of West Melbourne, and the city names the street in its own utility planning. Confirm the jurisdiction and the permitting authority for the parcel in writing.
Is there a homeowners association?
No. Nothing on record governs these lots and there are no mandatory dues. City code still applies, which is a useful backstop. Ask whether a voluntary neighborhood group operates on the street, and check the city rules on fences, sheds and vehicle parking before you plan anything.
Has this street been converted to city sewer yet?
Both answers exist on this street right now. West Melbourne selected Manor Place for its top priority septic to sewer conversion group, funded by a state Department of Environmental Protection grant, and at least one property has had lines completed with connection scheduled. Get the status for your specific parcel from the city.
Is there a lake?
Yes. The cul-de-sac ends at one, and one property holds direct frontage with pavered walkways, gardens and a deck down to the water. If flood zone is a question for you, Brevard County Public Works Floodplain Administration issues written determinations and can be reached at (321) 617-7340.
How old are the houses and what shape are they in?
All from 1977 and 1978. Several have had significant work: remodeled kitchens with quartz counters and double ovens, updated baths, newer roofs and air conditioning, pool resurfacing. The floor plans are still period plans. Ask for dates on the roof, the air handler, the water heater and the pool equipment.
How much garage space is available?
More than you would expect. Two car garages are standard, and one property on the street carries a 26 by 36 foot garage and workshop with six bays. That kind of structure is very hard to add today, so if it matters to you, it is worth waiting for the right listing.
What is nearby?
Wickham Road is a few minutes east, carrying north toward Suntree and south to US 192. John Rodes Boulevard connects north to Ellis Road, which is the quick route to I-95. The airport, the medical corridor and the large aerospace and defense employers on the west side of town are all short drives, with the beaches roughly twenty minutes east.
Manor Place, West Melbourne 32904
Manor Place runs north off Sheridan Road between Wickham Road and John Rodes Boulevard, in the 32904 ZIP. Jurisdiction along this corridor is genuinely mixed, with incorporated city ground and unincorporated Brevard County ground sitting close together, and adjoining plats sometimes falling under different governments. Manor Place is on the West Melbourne side. That means city permitting, city code enforcement and city utility planning, including the sewer conversion program.
The setting reads quieter than the map suggests. Wooded back lines and a lake at the end of a dead end street give it a country feel, and it is minutes from Wickham Road. Ellis Road, reached by way of John Rodes Boulevard, is the shortest route to I-95. Melbourne Orlando International Airport is close, the aerospace and defense employers on the west side of town are an easy commute, and the beaches are about twenty minutes east.
