Kingsmill, the honest version.
Three hundred twenty homes off Lake Washington Road, no connection to the famous Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg despite a nearly identical HOA name, and an HOA fee figure that traces back to a nine-year-old blog comment.
Not Virginia, and a stale fee.
Kingsmill sits off Lake Washington Road in Melbourne, southwest of Sherwood and southeast of Windover Farms, built out almost entirely between 1986 and 1989 in a single recorded plat. The name is a genuine coincidence worth flagging: Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia, built on a historic 1736 plantation site, is a well-known property with its own homeowners association, the Kingsmill Community Services Association, confusingly close in wording to Melbourne's own Kingsmill Homeowners' Association. I found no actual connection between the two beyond the shared name. The HOA here is real and confirmed active through the state's own registry, but I want to be direct about the fee: the only dollar figure I could find anywhere, $180 a year, comes from a resident's comment on the association's blog dated 2017, nine years old as of this research, not a current budget or assessment notice.
What 320 homes look like on paper.
I keep the full Brevard property roll on hand, every parcel, not a listing-site sample. This is all of Kingsmill as the county appraiser sees it, in a single recorded plat.

Three Kingsmill realities to price in.
A nine-year-old fee figure is the only one I could find
Don't budget around the $180-a-year number circulating online, it traces to a single 2017 blog comment, not a current document. Get the actual fee from the HOA directly, the association's website did not resolve when I checked, so a phone or mail inquiry may be necessary.
Two real community parks, not just a marketing line
Two community parks are documented for Kingsmill, including one with a playground on Nobility Avenue. Confirm which one is closest to a specific address if that matters to you.
A 1987 median means insurance shopping matters more than roof-age panic
This build era is young enough that roof age and outdated electrical panels are less likely to be the dominant underwriting issue the way they are on Brevard's older communities. That does not mean insurance is simple, Florida's 2026 market still prices wind mitigation and claims history hard regardless of age. Shop the policy and pull the wind mitigation report rather than assuming a 1980s-era build keeps the premium automatically low.
Three things I could not source.
Three things I would rather show you the gap on than fill with a stale blog comment.
The current HOA fee
As above, the only figure I found is nine years old. Confirm directly with the association.
The confirmed builder
One secondary source names Maronda Homes, unconfirmed from a primary source. Check the specific home's permit if the builder matters to you.
Your school zoning and flood zone
Both assigned by address, not by subdivision, and both get redrawn. Verify the exact address with Brevard Public Schools, and pull the flood zone at FEMA's Map Service Center. My flood zone guide walks through what it means for your insurance bill.
If it is north Melbourne you are shopping.
Lansing Ridge runs a similar late-1980s to 1990s Melbourne story, also with a multi-part HOA structure worth understanding. The Melbourne guide covers the wider market.
Questions people actually ask.
Is this Melbourne Kingsmill connected to the famous Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia?
No, and the coincidence runs deeper than the name. The Williamsburg property, built on a historic 1736 plantation site, has its own homeowners association called the Kingsmill Community Services Association, confusingly close in wording to Melbourne's own Kingsmill Homeowners' Association. I found no naming connection between the two beyond coincidence, they are roughly 700 miles apart with no shared developer.
What is the Kingsmill HOA fee?
I could not verify a current figure. The only dollar amount I found anywhere, $180 a year, traces to a resident's comment on the HOA's own blog from 2017, nine years old as of this research and not a primary budget or assessment document. The association's official website did not resolve when I tried to load it. Do not budget around that number, get the current figure from the HOA or a specific listing's disclosure.
Who built Kingsmill?
One secondary source names Maronda Homes as the primary builder, with Joyal and Tiffany Construction credited as custom builders on some lots, but I could not confirm this from a primary source. Treat it as a claim, not a confirmed fact.
Does Kingsmill have community amenities?
Yes, two community parks are documented, including one with a playground on Nobility Avenue, a real shared amenity rather than a marketing claim.
Looking at a Kingsmill listing? No pressure.
Tell me the address and I will confirm the current HOA fee before you trust a nine-year-old number. No drip campaign, no calls.
