I have been there a lot..
Go to vero beach.
Way better.
If you_re looking for somewhere to live i_d check out Viera, its a bit south of Melbourne and its mostly newer housing and is generally pretty nice. They_ve opened a new High School 2-3 years ago and a new Elementary school 2 years before that in Viera over near the Space Coast Stadium (along with a lot of new housing).
Good luck with the move, feel free to email me if you have any more questions (via my profile page)!
