Broadview

Independent Assessment

Broadview's existence, its 29-site count, its address at 1701 Post Road in Melbourne, its status as an age-restricted (55+) land-lease manufactured community, and its reported lot-rent range of roughly $370-$700/month were independently confirmed through multiple independent manufactured-housing directories (MHVillage, RetireNet, MHBO). Its original year of development and original developer were not independently confirmed in available public sources; the community is currently owned by an individual owner and managed by Inland Residential Real Estate Services LLC, part of the Inland Real Estate Group of Companies.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want the smallest, quietest possible 55+ community in Brevard County — with minimal amenities but genuine neighbor-to-neighbor familiarity — and who are comfortable with a land-lease (rather than land-owned) manufactured-home structure, fit well at Broadview.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Broadview's original development history and builder were not independently confirmed in available public sources. It is currently owned by an individual owner and professionally managed by Inland Residential Real Estate Services LLC. As a land-lease community, homes are purchased individually by residents while Inland Residential (or its ownership entity) retains ownership of the underlying land.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Home purchase prices were not independently confirmed for this small, low-turnover community. Because Broadview is a land-lease community, the effective monthly cost of living there combines whatever a resident pays for the home itself (financed or cash) with recurring lot rent, rather than a single combined home-plus-land price as in a land-owned community.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Broadview is an established, built-out community with no active new-home construction program; all availability is resale (or new-to-you) manufactured homes placed on existing leased sites. Because turnover is minimal at 29 sites, available homes may not be listed on the open MLS — buyers should work with an agent or contact management directly for availability.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Because Broadview is a land-lease community, the underlying land is taxed to the landowner (the community's ownership entity) rather than to individual homeowners, while the manufactured home itself may be taxed separately as tangible personal property depending on its titling status — buyers should confirm the specific tax treatment for a given home with the Brevard County Property Appraiser. Manufactured-home insurance for the structure itself is underwritten differently than a standard homeowners policy; obtain a specific quote before purchasing.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

At 29 home sites, Broadview offers none of the programmed clubhouse activity of a large Brevard County 55+ community; its appeal is scale itself — residents describe knowing every neighbor personally within a short time of moving in. This trade-off suits buyers who have deliberately chosen retirement simplicity over amenity breadth.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Broadview sits at 1701 Post Road in Melbourne, in eastern Melbourne near the Eau Gallie area, a short drive from Melbourne's beaches and from Health First's Holmes Regional Medical Center. Its location offers more convenient access to Melbourne's established retail and medical infrastructure than the more rural manufactured communities in Malabar or Micco.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Broadview is consistently described as an age-restricted (55+) manufactured-home community by independent manufactured-housing and senior-living directories (RetireNet, MHVillage, MHBO). The community's specific recorded age-restriction or lease-covenant language was not independently located; buyers should request written confirmation of the exact age-qualification terms directly from property management.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Broadview is a land-lease community, buyers own the home but not the land beneath it, which affects long-term equity building differently than a land-owned manufactured community such as Barefoot Bay. At 29 sites, turnover is minimal, resale data is very thin, and homes often do not appear on the open MLS. There is no clubhouse-centered amenity program or organized lifestyle calendar at this scale.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Broadview is the smallest formally age-restricted community among Brevard County's 55+ options, offering a fundamentally different scale than even other manufactured communities such as Enchanted Lakes in Malabar or the much larger Barefoot Bay in Micco. Unlike Barefoot Bay, which is land-owned, Broadview is a land-lease community, an important structural distinction for buyers comparing total cost of ownership across Brevard County's manufactured-housing options.

Current Listings

Because homes at Broadview rarely appear on public listing sites, buyers should contact Inland Residential Real Estate Services LLC or a local Melbourne-area agent directly to learn about current availability.

Do residents own the land at Broadview?

No. Broadview is a land-lease community — residents own their manufactured home but lease the underlying homesite, with lot rent reported at roughly $370-$700/month depending on the site and lease terms.

Is Broadview age-restricted?

Multiple independent manufactured-housing directories describe Broadview as an age-restricted (55+) community. The specific recorded lease-covenant language was not independently located; confirm directly with property management.

How many homes are in Broadview?

Can I find Broadview homes for sale on Zillow or the MLS?
