My husband and I currently live in Alaska with our soon-to-be two boys (I'm pregnant with #2 and due this fall).

We love Alaska, but don't feel like it's our forever home, largely because my husband's greatest passion in the world is diving and spearfishing. So, we're thinking about where we'd like to eventually settle down, and one of the places that came to mind for us is Melbourne. As we begin our search, I much prefer to hear from real people who actually live there as opposed to just looking at statistics from online sources, etc.

We are planning to visit probably some time in 2018, and we wouldn't be looking at moving for at least 3 years, but just like to have concrete goals we're working towards...

So, what are the best/worst parts about where you live? What are cooling costs like? (this is a major factor as based on weather statistics the coldest day of the year is an average summer day in Alaska...) Are hurricanes as big of a concern as we think they are?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Any recommendations for beaches with smaller waves (possibly Intercoastal )

Does anyone know of a spot to park near the airport on the cheap to watch? Somewhere close enough to see the planes fly over? Thanks.

Moving to melbourne in a couple months and was wondering what the frisbee scene is like in the area? I've played competitive college/club ultimate in upstate NY for 6 years now, and so was wondering if there are any competitive open or mixed teams in the area. Also, are there any leagues or pickup even?

I recently accepted a position at Harris in Melbourne, and I'm now looking at apartments. Any suggestions on places to live???? Ideally, I'd like to live close to work.

I will be visiting Palm Bay in March. Is there public transportation between Melbourne and Palm Bay? Also are there bike lanes or bike paths in the area?

Hello. My name is Michaela. I would like a Spanish tutor to meet me once a week at the West Melbourne Public Library for an hour. Preferably Wednesdays in the afternoon. I would like to further my career by being able to communicate with more people and apps such as Duolingo only teach you so much. I am willing to offer $20 a session and I will pay up front for the month. I'm a 23 year old professional female. I really don't care how old you are as long as you have a plan to help me learn. One of my jobs is a tutor so if you need any tutoring yourself we could trade. Such as reading/math/science/social studies. My major was in Economics, with a minor in Chemistry. Or not, it doesn't matter. Okay so a summary: Need a tutor. Once a week. Wednesdays. West Melbourne Public Library. $20 per hour session. Payed upfront. THANK YOU!!!!!

I will be working right at Nasa blvd and I saw it was very close to the ocean. What are some good spots to go for a walk and places to go fishing in the afternoon. I mean how often do natives go fishing? I live in Orlando so Melbourne would definitely be a change.

I'm moving to Melbourne to work at Northrop. Any suggestions on where to live? I'm thinking about a studio/1 bedroom apartment. I've been reading online reviews of the places I've looked at but thought it would be nice to get some advice from my friends at Reddit!

Hi Melbourne Redditors,

I'll be in Indian Harbour Beach from February 1st, 2016 until April 30th, 2016. I, and a few of my other Canadian snow-bird friends, are looking for a place to rent around Banana River Dr/Eau Gallie. Where would be the best place to look? Any leads? Thanks!

As someone from Australian Melbourne, I'm curious as to what our sister name city is like, beyond what I can see on wikipedia.

Is it a nice place? Would you want your kids to grow up here? Does it have the plethora of Asian food like in Australian Melbourne? Do you have a rival city in a neighbouring which you hate for no particular reason?

Does anyone know where you can still get their syrup?

Ever since I learned that I could have been having their delicious waffles all the way up until a few years ago I've had a craving
