2035 Schulte Ave Unit #1

Waking up to an Atlantic sunrise is just part of a regular Tuesday when you call Daytona Beach Shores home. This small barrier island city sits just southeast of Daytona Beach proper, packing nearly a mile of oceanfront living into a surprisingly self-sufficient community. High-rise condominiums line the shore, while quieter residential streets closer to the Intracoastal Waterway offer a more laid-back pace. The area supports everyday errands with grocery stores, banks, and shops that you rarely find in communities this close to the water, so you spend less time commuting and more time on the beach.

Renters here find a rental landscape dominated by oceanfront and water-view condos, along with apartment communities that range from cozy one-bedrooms to spacious two-bedroom layouts. Incorporated in 1960, the city has long drawn those who want resort-style surroundings without sacrificing convenience.
