COMMENT

Was once a very desirable place to live If you want a fairly affordable place to live near or by the beach, this is it. It used to be quieter, though. Too much development and the Daytona events are moving up this way. Tomoka State Park is right here and then there is the lovely “Loop” and other parks with historic structures (remnants of old sugar mills). We live in a community built in the 70s. People have done a good job redoing the houses...no cookie cutters. But people are generally not friendly. Very “red” area. The Main Street/downtown Ormond area is historic and cute and offers a number of independently owned restaurants. There are regular “art walks,” new little shops and restaurants popping up here and there. The beach is gorgeous on this part of the Atlantic coast. My problem with the area is that people have found out about it and it is being overdeveloped and wildlife is being chased out. Traffic is getting MUCH worse and crime has increased. We are going to leave.
