Daytona Beach is the best-known city in Volusia County. It is home to Daytona International Speedway, a wide, hard-packed beach and a busy calendar of events. Behind the postcard image is a working city with universities, hospitals, an airport and neighborhoods that suit just about every stage of life.
Neighborhoods and home styles
Beachside: The barrier island between the Halifax River and the Atlantic has oceanfront and ocean-view condominiums, older beach cottages and riverfront homes.
Mainland: Historic neighborhoods near downtown and Beach Street have older homes on tree-lined streets close to the Halifax River.
West of I-95: Around LPGA Boulevard, large master-planned communities have brought new single-family homes, golf communities and 55+ options such as Latitude Margaritaville. Expect HOA amenities and newer construction.
Lifestyle
Speedweeks and the Daytona 500, Bike Week and other events bring energy to town, and on quieter days there is the beach, the Main Street Pier, Halifax River boating and the riverfront parks downtown. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Bethune-Cookman University and Daytona State College anchor a strong education community, and the city’s medical centers are major local employers.
Schools
Daytona Beach public schools are part of Volusia County Schools. School zones are set by address, so check a specific home with the district’s school-zone locator.
Commute
Daytona Beach International Airport is about 5 miles (roughly 12 minutes without traffic) for most of the city. I-95 and I-4 meet here, and downtown Orlando is about 56 miles (roughly 69 minutes without traffic). Volusia County’s Votran bus system serves the area as well.
What buyers should know
- Condo due diligence: Florida now requires milestone structural inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many condo buildings three stories or taller. Review the association’s reports, reserves and any special assessments before you commit.
- Insurance: Get wind and flood insurance quotes early, especially on the beachside and near the river.
- New construction: In newer communities, ask about CDD assessments, HOA fees and builder warranties.
- Event traffic: Big events change traffic patterns, and some buyers like to be near the action while others don’t.
