Lake Washington Townhomes, the numbers first version.

Two hundred eighty-five Melbourne homes built from 2007 to 2014, with the county roll, not listing-site boilerplate, doing the describing.

First, what the name does and does not tell you

A townhome name, and a county-roll reality check.

Lake Washington Townhomes is a 285-home Melbourne community built out from 2007 through 2014. The county roll classifies all 285 parcels as single-family, which is useful but incomplete: that label does not, by itself, tell you whether a specific home is attached, fee-simple, or governed by a condominium declaration. Confirm the ownership form and governing documents for the exact address before you compare it with detached-home subdivisions or assume an HOA fee.

Straight from the county roll

What 285 homes look like on paper.

I keep the full Brevard property roll on hand, every parcel, not a listing-site sample. This is one recorded plat and a tight build window, so the community-wide numbers are more useful than a single listing's marketing copy.

The useful part of the numbers

Three Lake Washington signals to price in.

01

This is a newer, tight build window

A 2011 median build year with a 2007-to-2014 range means the community is not one of Melbourne's older scattered-build neighborhoods. That helps narrow the likely roof, systems, and insurance questions, but the specific inspection and policy still matter more than the median.

02

The sale number is active, not theoretical

Seventeen recorded sales in the last twelve months put the current median at $246,500, and 47 sales over the last two years provide a broader sample. Those are recorded transactions, not an asking-price average.

03

Confirm the ownership form before comparing costs

The county roll calls every parcel single-family, but that does not answer every townhome question. Before you budget around an HOA, condo fee, insurance responsibility, or exterior-maintenance rule, get the governing documents and the current disclosure for the exact address.

Where I stop

Three things the roll cannot answer.

A parcel roll is powerful, but it is not a substitute for the documents attached to the home you are actually buying.

01

The current HOA or association cost

I am not printing a fee I could not verify from a current association disclosure. Get the current amount, what it covers, and any pending assessment in writing.

02

Whether a specific home is attached and how it is owned

Confirm the declaration, parcel layout, and listing documents for the address. The roll's single-family classification alone is not enough to settle that question.

03

Your school zoning and flood zone

Both are assigned by address, not by subdivision, and both can change. 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.

Next door

If it is attached, lower-maintenance living you are shopping.

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask.

How many homes are in Lake Washington Townhomes?

The Brevard County property roll used for this guide contains 285 homes in one recorded plat.

When were Lake Washington Townhomes built?

The roll shows homes built from 2007 through 2014, with a 2011 median build year.

Are the homes classified as townhomes or single-family on the county roll?

The roll classifies all 285 parcels as single-family. That classification does not by itself answer whether a specific home is attached, fee-simple, or governed by a condominium declaration, so confirm the ownership form and governing documents for the address you are considering.

I will check the parcel details, ownership form, flood zone, and current carrying costs before you treat a listing description as the whole story. No drip campaign, no calls.
