South Beaches runs along the narrow barrier island south of Melbourne Beach, where the Atlantic sits on one side and the Indian River Lagoon on the other. It's a low-key, water-first stretch — the kind of place where a short walk gets you to the ocean and boats matter as much as cars. Life here leans toward the outdoors, and much of the current inventory reflects that with waterfront homes making up half the active listings.
For buyers, this is a thin, high-end market. There are just 6 active listings right now, with a median list price of $1,624,500 and three homes priced above $1 million, so you'll want to move deliberately when the right property surfaces on the live map. The gap between list and sold prices is real — homes that closed over the past year sold at a median of $625,000 — which tells you pricing and negotiation both matter here.
South Beaches is a community in Melbourne Beach, Florida.

South Beaches FAQs
Is South Beaches a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want quiet, water-oriented living on the barrier island south of Melbourne Beach, with the ocean and the Indian River Lagoon both close. The scale is small and residential rather than commercial, so it appeals to people who value calm over convenience. You can browse the current Melbourne Beach homes for sale to get a feel for the surrounding area.
Is South Beaches expensive?+
Yes — it's one of the pricier pockets on the island, with a median list price of $1,624,500 and an average of $752 per square foot. Three of the six active listings are above $1 million. That said, the range is wide, starting around $500,000, so entry points do exist.
What do homes cost in South Beaches?+
Active listings run from $500,000 to $4,490,000, with a median list price of $1,624,500 and a median home size of about 2,419 square feet. Over the past 12 months, 9 homes sold at a median price of $625,000, which shows buyers have had success negotiating below the top asking prices.
How is the market right now?+
It's thin and steady — just 6 active listings and 9 sales in the past year, with homes taking a median of 41 days to sell. Sellers are getting about 96% of asking on average, so serious offers still need to be close to the number. Checking the live map is the best way to catch new inventory as it appears.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA here is $325 per month, though fees vary by property and not every home carries one. Property taxes run a median of about $9,695 per year, which tracks with the higher price points in the area. Always confirm both figures on the specific listing you're considering.
