Living in Florida's Space Coast
Stratford Pointe
Stratford Pointe is a four phase plat off Hollywood Boulevard, between US 192 and Palm Bay Road in the 32904 ZIP, built between 2002 and 2005. Sedgewood Drive, Stratford Pointe Drive, Olde Bailey Lane and Bainbury Lane carry it. Lots are compact, plans run from single story to two story with a loft, and there is a community pool inside the gates of the plat.
Stratford Pointe In West Melbourne, Florida
Stratford Pointe went in as four recorded phases between 2002 and 2005, on the east side of Hollywood Boulevard between US 192 and Palm Bay Road. You turn in off Hollywood onto Stratford Pointe Drive, and from there the plat opens into Sedgewood Drive, Olde Bailey Lane and Bainbury Lane. The naming is deliberate English village, which sets it apart from the Spanish and tropical themes on most of the plats around it.
This is inside the City of West Melbourne, not Melbourne, and the distinction is not cosmetic. West Melbourne is its own incorporated city with its own council, its own code enforcement and its own utility arrangements, and it is where most of the newer subdivision growth along Minton Road and Palm Bay Road has landed. Your permits, your inspections and your code questions all go to West Melbourne. Confirm the utility provider for the specific address.
The houses cover more ground than the exterior suggests. Sizes run about 1,294 to 2,763 square feet with roughly 1,844 in the middle, three to five bedrooms, two to three baths, two car garages throughout. The two story plans here are worth understanding: several put the primary suite downstairs and stack the secondary bedrooms and a loft above it, which is a layout that suits some households very well and frustrates others. Walk both before you decide.
Lots are small, from about 0.13 to 0.32 of an acre with 0.14 typical, so the yards are tidy rather than generous. Roughly a quarter of the houses look out over one of the plat's retention lakes, which is the premium position here, and a handful have added private screened pools. The community pool sits inside the plat and gets used, which for a lot of owners is the reason not to build a private one.
Stratford Pointe Homeowners Association, Inc. has been registered with the Florida Division of Corporations since 2000 and is active, with day to day management handled over the years by outside firms including Omega Community Management and Artemis Lifestyles. Dues apply and they fund the shared pool and common areas. Values here have run from about $279,000 to $470,000, with the middle near $385,000, which puts this among the more attainable plats in West Melbourne.

Stratford Pointe Details
Four Phases, One Character
Phases 1 through 4 went in back to back between 2002 and 2005, so unlike plats that stretched across a decade, the whole community reads as one build. Materials, rooflines and street sections match. The practical benefit is that comparable houses really are comparable across the phases.
The Downstairs Primary Suite
Several of the two story plans here put the owners suite on the ground floor and the secondary bedrooms plus a loft upstairs. That layout is hard to find in this price band and it is the single most searched feature in the plat. It also means the upstairs sits unused in some households, which is worth thinking about honestly.
A Pool You Do Not Maintain
The community pool sits inside the plat and is walkable from most of the streets. A private screened pool is still an option and some owners have added one, but plenty of people here decided the shared pool was enough and put the money into the kitchen instead.
Lake Lots Are The Premium
The retention lakes inside the plat back roughly a quarter of the houses. Those lots command more and they resell faster. Look at the bank slope, the distance from the lanai to the water line and where the drainage structures sit before you pay the difference.
Hollywood Boulevard Access
You are between US 192 and Palm Bay Road, which are the two roads that actually get you anywhere in this part of the county. I-95 at exit 180 is a short run west on 192, and Minton Road, the West Melbourne retail spine, is minutes away. It is a convenient position rather than a quiet one.
Small Lots, Less To Do
Thirteen hundredths to a third of an acre. If you are coming out of a large lot property and you are tired of the mowing, that is the appeal. If you want space for a boat or an RV, this is not the plat, and the association documents will have something to say about it as well.

Stratford Pointe Frequently Asked Questions
Is Stratford Pointe in Melbourne or West Melbourne?
West Melbourne. It sits inside the City of West Melbourne, which is a separate incorporated city with its own council, code enforcement and permitting. A Melbourne mailing address is common across this whole area and does not tell you which city you are in, so confirm the jurisdiction for the parcel.
How many phases are there?
Four. Stratford Pointe Phase 1 through Phase 4, all recorded and built between 2002 and 2005. They function as one community with one association, and the construction is consistent across them, which makes comparing houses between phases straightforward.
Is there a homeowners association?
Yes. Stratford Pointe Homeowners Association, Inc. has been registered with the Florida Division of Corporations since 2000 and is active. Dues apply. Outside management firms including Omega Community Management and Artemis Lifestyles have handled the day to day, so ask who is currently in place.
Is there a community pool?
Yes, inside the plat and walkable from most streets. Some owners have also added private screened pools behind their houses. The shared pool is funded through the association, so request the current budget and rules along with the recorded declaration.
Which lots have water views?
Roughly a quarter of the houses back to one of the retention lakes inside the plat. These are stormwater lakes, not navigable water, so the value is the view and the absence of a rear neighbor. Check the bank, the slope and the drainage structures on any lot you are considering.
What do the houses cost here?
They have traded from about $279,000 to $470,000, with the middle near $385,000. The spread depends mostly on square footage, lake position and whether a private pool has been added. This is one of the more attainable established plats in West Melbourne.
Are the homes one story or two?
Both. Single story plans and two story plans with a loft are mixed throughout the four phases. Several of the two story houses put the primary suite on the ground floor. Ask specifically, because the floor plan matters more than the square footage number on a house this size.
What is nearby?
Hollywood Boulevard connects you to US 192 to the north and Palm Bay Road to the south. Minton Road retail is minutes away, I-95 is reachable at exit 180, and Melbourne Orlando International Airport and the aerospace and defense employers on the west side of town are short drives. The beaches are about twenty minutes east.
Stratford Pointe Drive, West Melbourne 32904
The plat sits on Hollywood Boulevard in the stretch between US 192 and Palm Bay Road, inside West Melbourne city limits in the 32904 ZIP. West Melbourne is a separate incorporated city west of Melbourne, not a neighborhood of it, and it holds most of the newer subdivision inventory in this part of the county. Your permits and code questions go to the city, not to Brevard County.
The location is built around access rather than seclusion. US 192 runs west to I-95 at exit 180 and east into downtown Melbourne. Palm Bay Road takes you south toward Palm Bay and the Babcock Street corridor. Minton Road, a few minutes west, carries the bulk of the West Melbourne shopping. Melbourne Orlando International Airport is close, the beaches are about twenty minutes east, and Orlando is a little over an hour.
