There’s something truly special about Ormond Beach. It’s not just the gentle ocean breezes, the sugar-soft sands, or the vibrant community spirit it’s the feeling of belonging the moment you arrive. For me, Ormond Beach isn’t just where I live; it’s where I’ve chosen to grow roots, raise my family, and help others find their own place in the sun.
As a real estate professional who has helped clients across Florida, I can say with confidence that Ormond Beach is one of the most promising and inspiring beachside communities to invest in, whether you’re relocating for work, making a lifestyle change, or seeking a vacation rental opportunity.
A Coastal Gem with Timeless Charm
Ormond Beach offers the best of Florida living, without the congestion and commercial sprawl of some larger cities. Nestled just north of Daytona Beach and south of Flagler Beach, it has managed to maintain its historic charm and small-town warmth while embracing thoughtful growth. Known as the “Birthplace of Speed,” Ormond blends its rich legacy with a progressive outlook, making it a unique place to live, work, and play.
From the moment you cruise down Granada Boulevard under a canopy of oak trees or walk the quiet beaches at sunrise, you realize this is a place that speaks to the soul.
Why People Are Moving Here
Over the last few years, I’ve helped numerous families, retirees, and investors relocate to Ormond Beach. The reasons are as diverse as the people themselves — some are drawn by remote work flexibility and want a better quality of life, while others seek strong rental returns and long-term appreciation. With low property taxes, great schools, and a strong sense of community, Ormond Beach checks all the right boxes.
Hot neighborhoods like Ormond Lakes, Breakaway Trails, Chelsea Place, and Plantation Bay are in high demand. Each offers its own lifestyle from gated communities with golf and tennis to more laid-back coastal homes steps from the beach. New developments and waterfront properties continue to attract buyers looking for both value and beauty.
A Lifestyle Worth Living
Ormond Beach is the kind of place where neighbors still wave hello, where you can surf in the morning and attend a wine tasting at night. Some of my favorite local hotspots include:
The Grind Gastropub for brunch or cocktails under the tiki bar
Hull’s Seafood Market for the freshest local catch
31 Supper Club for vintage glamour and jazz on the weekends
The Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens for a peaceful stroll or community art event
Tomoka State Park for kayaking, hiking, or just connecting with nature
Plus, with festivals like Riverfest and Art Walks downtown, there's always something to do or discover. Whether you're into live music, farmers markets, paddleboarding, or yoga on the beach, Ormond Beach offers a vibrant, yet relaxed lifestyle.
Why Ormond Beach is a Smart Investment
As the demand for coastal living continues to rise, Ormond Beach has remained a strong performer in both the residential and vacation rental markets. Investors are seeing attractive returns on short-term rentals, especially homes east of A1A and near Granada Beach Approach. The city’s careful planning and dedication to maintaining its charm ensures long-term value for homeowners.
