I moved here a few years ago from Boston and, Daytona has exceeded expectations. I found the whole "bias thing" against Daytona prevalent in the Northeast to be utter nonsense. I have been to Miami, Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, The Pam Beaches and Tampa Bay area - - and I prefer living in Daytona. It's small town Florida with some big city amenities. There is little serious traffic here - there is cleaner water here than any of the above mentioned places - (and way cleaner than South California Ocean Water!) The temperatures are like San Diego from November thru May and Acapulco from June to September. What's not to love? Daytona has amazing apartments and homes for 1/3rd the price of the above cities. I made the right choice! People are friendly here and there are many business opportunities as rents/land is cheap here. (perfect for smart Northerners to exploit). The wages are way to low here - but, for opening up a business that is a blessing.
The Beach is awesome! The weather is beautiful! They keep improving things and upgrading. The area is quite affordable and very close to the ocean and the inter coastal waterway. It is a big enough town to have many shopping and medical options, but not too big. The homeless population used to be a problem here, but the town has taken steps to build more facilities and address and help our homeless population.
My husband and I moved to Daytona about 3 years ago because of the beach! I am from West Palm Beach and I really missed the ocean. After vacationing here, we decided to make it home. The pace is different than the hustle and bustle of a busy city like West Palm. Aside from Bike Week and other major event, the area is more “low key” and we love that! We can go to events without them being over crowded. There are tons of beaches, restaurants, and great schools in the area. As an education major, that last one is extremely important. The only thing I’d change is already being changed. There are more businesses going up and we love that. One Daytona opened up and there are lots of activities and shops to visit. We also love the Tanger Outlets and shops/apartments going up in the area.
