Chisholm Elementary School

It's a solid choice for buyers who want New Smyrna Beach's coastal pace with school options that include New Smyrna Beach Middle School and virtual programs. With 24 waterfront and 25 pool homes active right now, plus 453 homes sold in the past year, it's an established, active community rather than a quiet backwater.

It's mid-range for the Florida coast, with a median list price of $438,500 and an average of $276 per square foot. The range is wide, though — you'll find listings from $165,000 up to $2.29M, so the zone works for a variety of budgets.

The median sold price over the last 12 months was $429,900, close to the current median list price of $438,500 on a typical 1,837-square-foot home. That gap tells you asking prices are realistic and roughly aligned with what's actually closing.

There are 150 active listings and homes are taking a median of 49.5 days to sell, with sellers getting 96% of asking on average. That's a balanced market — enough inventory to shop carefully, but not so much that pricing has collapsed. You can browse current listings on the live map.

The median HOA runs about $130 per month, and 28 of the active listings are in gated communities where fees are more common. Median property tax is around $4,178 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent here is about $2,200 per month.
