Lake Marie Estates
Midcentury ranch homes around six small lakes
Tight streets are lined with palm trees that give off the Florida vibe. Most homes are either stucco or brick ranch homes with hipped roofs that adorn moderate-sized lots with fenced-in backyards. Some homes back up to small lakes, which gives the potential for water-front property and slightly higher flood risks than the rest of the neighborhood. Lake Marie Estates has a minimal flood factor but has an Active Sound Score of 75 out of 100. Prices range from $236,000 to $384,000, with the median price falling just over $290,000. “The homes are older but solid and have started to be modernized. The market is picking up over the last few weeks,” Shaver says. While not on the coast, hurricanes that hit the cost affect DeBary with high winds and potential flooding.Journey through Volusia County Schools
Children are zoned for Volusia County Schools, which serves more than 60,000 students, ranks as B on Niche and the site grades it as the third-best district in the Orlando area. Students will attend Debary Elementary, which scores a B-plus, then the B-minus rated River Springs Middle School and finish at University High School. University High opened in 2010 and grades a B. The high school offers three academies – biomed, finance and game and simulation to help students specialize in their education.Multiple public transportation options
In a bedroom community, residents can get around the Orlando Metro on the SunRail, a 61-mile commuter rail system encompassing Central Florida. The lone stop in DeBary is about 4 miles from the neighborhood. Residents can also use the Votran, Volusia County’s public bus service. Lake Marie Estates has four lines, Votran 23, 31, 32 and 33, nearby. Neighbors can use United States Route 17-92 or drive down Saxon Boulevard to reach Interstate 4, which runs east to west across Florida. “We don’t get as much traffic as those souths of the St. John’s River Bridge, and living in the neighborhood, and the city of Debary is just a convenient location in Central Florida,” Shaver says.Shopping at the nearby DeBary Commons
Residents will barely have to leave the house to pick up weekly groceries as there is a Winn-Dixie in the DeBary Commons on the neighborhood's eastern edge. One of the oldest locally owned businesses in town, the DeBary Nursery specializes in native horticulture and has been a community staple since 1970. For a bite to eat, Nonna Maria’s Pizzeria is in the DeBary Commons and serves pizza by the slice and other Italian classics. Just across West Highbanks Road is the Salted Goat, which opened in 2023 and partners with local farms to provide diners with fresh and locally sourced ingredients.Living in a Florida Trail Town
Across the street from DeBary Elementary, Eagles Nest Park is a small neighborhood park where children can play on a playground, or visitors can shoot some hoops on the paved half-court. DeBary’s Parks and Recreation Department uses Rob Sullivan Park for its softball and baseball fields. Its playground features large canopy umbrellas to shade the equipment from the summer sun. The city became Florida’s 12th Trail Town, offering more than 600 miles of paved trails from three major state pathways – the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop, Coast-to-Coast Trail and the Heart of Florida Loop. Golfers can use multiple nearby courses, including the private DeBary County Club or the semi-private Glenn Abbey Golf Course, a par 72.Gateway Center for the Arts and other community events
Lake Marie Estates is less than 2 miles from the Gateway Center for the Arts (GCA), a community cultural arts center. The center offers multiple classes in various disciplines, from dance to youth theater and multimedia. GCA also has community events, including comedy shows, game nights and local concerts. The city hosts multiple events, and one of the biggest is the Freedom Fest Fourth of July celebration, which has live music, numerous vendors and a place for kids.New DeBary Main Street
About 4 miles south of Lake Marie Estates, the Main Street development will bring a new downtown area to DeBary. The development, which broke ground in January 2024, is across from the city’s SunRail Station and is on the Central Florida Trail system. The mixed-use facility will be completed in two phases, with phase one being the addition of townhouses and live-work units on the east side and phase two being the retail on the first floor and apartments above them. The entire project will take until 2027 to complete. "It's a small town, but it's growing," says Monica Houseworth, a Realtor with Discom Realty, Inc., and local resident. "Not only will this project will include the new downtown, but also retailers like Publix."
