Coastal Community
Long before paved roads existed, speed records were being set on Ormond Beach’s hard-packed shoreline, earning this coastal Florida city its lasting nickname: the Birthplace of Speed. Sitting just north of Daytona Beach in Volusia County, Ormond Beach trades the nonstop energy of its southern neighbor for something decidedly more laid-back. Tomoka State Park offers kayaking, hiking, and wildlife watching, while the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Rockefeller Gardens give the area a cultured, unhurried character. The beachfront draws surfers and swimmers, and the Halifax River adds a scenic backdrop to daily life.
Renters here will find a solid mix of options, from cozy single-story apartment communities and garden-style rentals to townhomes and waterfront-adjacent units. The inventory tends to feel more residential than high-rise, giving the city a quieter, neighborhood-like feel even near the coast. Whether you’re looking for a one-bedroom close to the water or a spacious three-bedroom with room to spread out, the market offers accessible choices compared to many other Florida coastal cities. With more than 25 employers based locally, everyday convenience is built right into the community.
