DELTONA

I'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.
