Deltona..great weather! -
9/1/2013I 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 -
9/1/2013Deltona 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 down!

2/19/2007I've lived in Deltona since 1996. When we moved here, our block was filled with retirees. Now, we have mostly younger families. Depending on where you live in Deltona, it can be a good or bad experience. Crime appears higher in certain areas. It seems we have more people moving here from NYC area because at one time, the cost of living was lower here. THis is not necessarily the case now. Deltona is quite a bit disorganized. You will find a block of nice newer homes and then on the next block, older homes mostly occupied by renters. Your New Yorkers will say it is a quiet place to live. Others like me will tell you that it can be quiet, but it also has a lot of people. No one really bothers you here that I see. We definately don't have the crime which Orlando has so it's a nice location away from the big city. You really have to judge for yourself. I am always skeptical when I read reviews which are either completely negative or completely positive. The negative ones may or may not be true--sometimes i think people write them to keep people from moving there. The all positive ones are only opinions and no place can be all positive. When people exist, there's always some negative. I would say visit places for yourself at different times of the day and judge for yourself.
