    "Melbourne Beach is primarily older , retired people. To the west part of Melbourne more working families are present. There seems to be many old buildings in Melbourne and not a lot of newer buildings. So many of the older buildings sit empty & make the town look old & dingy. It’s definitely old Florida but that’s why I like it."
