Deltona Lakes Elementary School

It's a solid pick for families who want a residential Volusia County setting with access to Orlando jobs — the commute downtown is about 47 minutes. The zone also connects to established upper schools like Heritage Middle School and Deltona High, which matters for long-term planning. Add generally low HOA costs and you get a practical, family-oriented community.

Compared to much of Central Florida, it's approachable — the median list price is $347,900 and active homes run from $205,000 up to $649,000. The average price is about $204 per square foot on a median home size of 1,673 square feet. There are currently no listings above $1M, so this is firmly a mid-market area.

Right now there are 37 active listings with a median list price of $347,900, while homes that actually sold over the last 12 months closed at a median of $320,000. That gap between list and sold prices is small, reflecting a market where sellers hold firm. Expect roughly $204 per square foot for a typical home.

It's active and competitive — the median days on market is just 16, and 162 homes sold in the past year. Sellers are averaging 99% of their asking price, so serious buyers should be ready to act quickly and offer close to list. Watching the live map helps you catch new listings before they go under contract.

Carrying costs here are on the lighter side, with a median HOA of just $21 per month — many homes carry little or no association fee at all. Median property taxes run about $3,795 per year. If you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent in the area is around $2,300 a month.
