Location & Context
Ashton Park sits on Micco Road in south Palm Bay, near the Indian River Lagoon and within about 20 minutes of Brevard's Atlantic beaches, in a part of the Space Coast seeing heavy growth tied to the aerospace, defense, and technology corridor.

What Is Planned
The developer's plan calls for a true mixed-use community: thousands of homes across single-family, townhome/villa, and multifamily product, plus a 39-acre Town Center with retail and grocery, supported by Palm Bay water and sewer extended to the site.

Ashton Park is in Brevard County, so property taxes follow the county millage plus any future community-specific assessments such as a CDD.
No CDD or HOA figures have been published yet for Ashton Park, which is normal at the planning stage; large mixed-use plans like this often add community development district assessments once phasing is set, so ask before you buy. For context, the Brevard County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 15.60 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

When homesites are released, confirm the base price, lot premiums, and any CDD or HOA in writing.
Schools
Ashton Park would be served by Brevard Public Schools, and the developer says a first K-8 school is planned within the community. Until that is built and zoned, confirm the currently assigned schools for any address with the district.
