R. J. Longstreet Elementary School

It's a solid fit for families who want coastal Daytona Beach living with schools built in — the zone connects to feeders like Campbell Middle School and Atlantic High School. With 118 of 306 active listings on the water and 78 with pools, the lifestyle here leans toward outdoor, warm-weather living. Orlando's job market and attractions stay about 65 minutes out when you want them.

It's mid-market for coastal Florida, with a median list price of $431,400 and a median sold price of $400,000 over the past year. The average works out to about $327 per square foot on a median home size of 1,400 square feet. The range is wide, from $70,000 up to $3,749,500, so there's genuine room at both ends.

Expect a median around the low-$400,000s — list prices sit at $431,400 and recent sales closed near $400,000. Waterfront and pool homes command more, while the 16 active listings over $1M mark the top tier. Entry-level and condo product starts far lower, so your budget goes a long way toward defining your options.

It's steady and negotiable rather than frantic. Homes are averaging about 60 days on market, and 401 sales over the past year closed at roughly 95% of asking. That gap gives buyers real leverage to make a considered offer — check the live map to compare active inventory.

The median HOA here runs about $884 per month, which reflects the condo and waterfront communities where fees cover more shared amenities and building costs. Median property tax lands around $4,693 per year. If you'd rather avoid a monthly HOA, focus on single-family inland streets where fees are typically lower or absent.
