If you like the heat and year round warm temps - this is a great place to live. Half-way between Orlando and Daytona - it gives you the best of both worlds! Nearby communities such as Debary are more expensive and Deland has a lot of crime. Like any growing community, Deltona has had it's share of issues, but I have lived here 20 years and would recommend it for any growing family. Just hop on the interstate and you are good to go - beaches in one direction and theme parks and shopping in the other. True, there is no night life - but that usually brings more crime. You do not have far to go to party if that is what you like. There are grocers and strip malls for everyday needs. There are parks to play in - a golf course - and plenty of lakes to fish in. And it is amazing to stand in your drive-way and watch the shuttle when it takes off - especially at night. Everyone has seen economic hard times. Don't write off Deltona without checking it out!
