Lifestyle

There are two distinct faces of Daytona Beach, mainland and beachside. These neighborhoods are naturally divided by a barrier island that helps to carve out the two distinctive locals.

Whether you’re looking for a quiet, suburban lifestyle or beachside living, Daytona Beach can offer you the best of both worlds. No matter where you live, Daytona Beach offers a great sense of community, with its welcoming, friendly residents and laid back Florida vibe.

Utilities

When you tell friends and family how much you love the water and your new Daytona Beach home, they might not realize that you’re actually talking about your kitchen sink!

Daytona Beach sets rigorous quality and purity standards when it comes to their water. It’s even been named the “best tasting water in the world” at the Berkeley Springs contest in West Virginia.
