If you’ve never heard of Ormond Beach, let me be the first to introduce you to this little slice of Florida paradise. Just north of Daytona Beach, it’s a peaceful, welcoming town filled with natural beauty, history, and heart. The beaches are quiet, the sunsets over the river are stunning, and the sense of community here is something truly special. Whether you’re walking the dog down a shady neighborhood street, popping into a local coffee shop, or heading out for a weekend paddle on the Intracoastal, life here feels just a little more grounded and connected.
So many people I’ve met that moved down to Florida never heard of Ormond Beach. I don’t blame them! Daytona does steal a lot of attention, doesn’t it? Kidding!
Why You’ll Love Living in Ormond Beach
As someone who works in this community, I can genuinely say there’s something truly special about life here. Here are just a few reasons why so many people are making Ormond Beach home:
1. Affordable Coastal Living
You get all the beauty of Florida’s waterfront lifestyle without the sky-high prices. Ormond Beach offers exceptional value for buyers who want to be close to the beach, the river, and everything in between. With how connected the beaches and coastal cities are, even commutes feel like a hop, skip, and a jump away. Statistically, there are some amazing properties (like the one below) at lower market value and in a growing city: which means you get beach life without breaking your bank. It’s perfect for first-time buyers, retirees, or anyone looking to get the most value for their investment without sacrificing lifestyle.
2. A Friendly, Connected Community
Ormond Beach has a welcoming vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere. Local events, mom-and-pop businesses, and scenic walking trails give the town a hometown feel that’s perfect for families, retirees, and remote workers alike. From Saturday morning farmer’s markets and downtown art walks to kayaking meetups and beach cleanups, Ormond Beach offers a full calendar of community events that make it easy to get involved and meet new friends.
Many new businesses are taking a chance on Ormond Beach which helps add a special variety of breweries, bars, and restaurants to the community. I’ve often grabbed a bite in city, especially River Grille on the Tomoka! Try their tacos!
3. Space to Grow
Many homes come with spacious yards and mature landscaping, and zoning tends to be more relaxed, allowing you the freedom to personalize your property or garden to your heart’s content. At the same time, the town is steadily growing, with thoughtful development and an increasing number of restaurants, shops, and wellness-focused businesses. Whether you’re growing a family, starting a business, or just craving more balance in your life, Ormond gives you room to do that without feeling boxed in.
Just as an example, I have the PERFECT property that represents the very best of Ormond Beach!
