Deltona is a ideal place - 7/19/2022
My husband and I bought a house in Deltona, FL in 2015 and have lived here ever since. Our house is on a waterfront and it is beautiful. When my husband retires we plan on staying put as you can’t beat the location. We are within an hour’s drive of the ocean, all the attractions in Orlando, and a few airports. It’s just the ideal location. Our town is quiet and cost of living on par with the rest of Florida. Our neighbors are awesome people as we couldn’t ask for better. We luckily have not been victims of any crimes. We have a fire station and police station only a half mile away. Our state is run by the best Governor possible and our freedoms are protected. My husband and I are both prior military and have lived in several states and overseas. Florida by far, as we both agree, is the best place that we’ve ever lived. The awesome weather is just an added bonus.

Finding it impossible to move out of Miami for lac - 1/29/2016
What did I read about hard to find healthcare for seniors in Deltona?? We are trying to move out of Miami, which has become incredibly expensive to somewhere where we can live and enjoy our golden years. Not too active (I am disabled) so only grocery and once in a while go to a mall. But healthcare (Medicare Advantage plans) is of upmost importance to us. Any comments?? We do not qualify for any government assistance, but just plain Medicare is too expensive for my healthcare needs. I never expected it to be so terribly difficult to move out, but Medicare will not give us information without a zip code (where we are moving to) and I cannot give them one until I sell my home in Miami, which I can't sell because I can't find insurance anywhere else! Ridiculous....
Thanks for any

Deltona..great weather! - 9/1/2013
I love that we are 30 miles inland. This protects us somewhat from Hurricane damage. Winters are amazing...from November until April, it is wonderful. A few cool days and nights, but I love bringing out the coat or jacket.Summers are hot, but lately the northeast has had hotter summers than we have had. Actually, a great deal of the country has had hotter summers. Perhaps because Florida is a peninsula and we have water on three sides, this may help us out

Deltona in need of some nice families! Come join o - 9/1/2013
Deltona is a nice place to live. Being that it is the largest city in Volusia county (you would think Daytona Beach would be larger, but it's not)there is not perfection. However, the location is pretty great. Midway between Daytona Beach and Orlando, it doesn't get any better. The cost of living is decent and taxes are low. Schools in Florida rank 6th in nation. I've grown to like Deltona over the years. I would like to see some more Northern families join our city and stay. I moved here from Pennsylvania 19 years ago. I do miss the sense of community I felt up North and that's why I'd like to see some more Northerners come on

Nice place with lots of choices - 2/20/2013
When reading reviews about Deltona, remember that Deltona is the largest city in Volusia County. There are many different areas within the city, from lower income to luxury homes. And Deltona is still growing. Additionally, Deltona is close to so much, while still maintaining a quiet charm. 30 minutes to Daytona Beach, 30 minutes to the Seminole Town Square Mall. 40 minutes to Orlando.
