Hammock Harbor is just one of the great, affordable apartment communities available for rent in the Melbourne, FL area.

You're in luck. Melbourne not only has gorgeous beaches and fun attractions...but also many inexpensive apartments with excellent community features! SunState Apartments has the resources and tools to help you find those apartments in Melbourne that fit your needs, lifestyle and budget.

There are several factors to consider when searching for an apartment. Convenience, location, amenities and the price of rent are common concerns for those who are looking for a place to call home in the Melbourne area. Rent, or living expenses in general, make up most people's largest monthly expense so it makes sense to begin your apartment search by narrowing down the selection to just those communities that are within your desired price range. Melbourne has been highly rated for its affordable housing and short commute times – great news for price-minded apartment hunters such as you!

It's important to find an amazing apartment that provides you with a sense of security and an active lifestyle, but it's also important to be honest about how much you can afford to pay on rent each month. A luxury apartment isn't worth it if you start falling behind in rent payments (which can damage your credit and your ability to pay rent in the future). Our website can help make your search easier and guide you towards affordable Melbourne apartments that won't break your bank.

Apartment communities that offer roommate-matching services can help reduce the cost of rent. Roommate matching services, typically free of charge, eliminate the stress of finding roommates on your own. You will answer a series of questions to help the community gather information regarding your social habits, sleep schedule and tidiness. You will then be paired up with other candidates who share similar interests and lifestyles. Living with roommates reduces the cost of rent, as prices generally decrease as the number of bedrooms goes up.

When searching for apartments in Melbourne, it's important to not just focus on the rent price. There are a number of other living expenses that may, or may not, be included in the monthly rent. Electric, cable and water are just a few services that can be additional costs if utilities are not covered through the rent. Be sure to check these facts early on before reaching a decision and committing to a rental agreement on paper.
