West Deland Historic Residential District

It suits buyers who value walkability to downtown Deland and homes with historic character over new-build sameness. Assigned schools include Citrus Grove Elementary, Southwestern Middle School, and Deland High School, with eLearning options also in the mix. The small, established feel is part of the appeal.

It's accessible on paper and competitive in practice. Active listings carry a median list price of $169,000 ranging from $99,000 to $340,000, though the 18 homes sold over the past year closed at a higher median of $368,750 — a gap worth discussing with your agent before you shop.

Average price per square foot runs about $155, and the median home size is 1,350 sqft. With only 3 active listings spanning $99,000 to $340,000, the available mix changes constantly, so checking current inventory on the live map is the best way to gauge real pricing.

It's fast and seller-favorable. The median days on market is just 1, and sellers over the last 12 months averaged 98% of their asking price across 18 sales, so buyers should come prepared to move quickly on the right home.

As an older historic district, there's no typical HOA fee reported here, which sets it apart from newer planned communities like Victoria Commons. Expect property taxes around $4,499 per year at the median, and budget roughly $1,450 a month if you're comparing against local rents.
