Winnemissett Park, a suburban neighborhood in Deland, finds itself to the east in the Athens of Florida, a nickname for the city because of its dedication to education, beauty and culture as envisioned by the city’s founder Henry Addison Deland.
Here, custom-built contemporary homes are dotted throughout the neighborhood, typically on at least an acre behind wood or metal fences. Throughout the area, homeowners adorn their homes with flowering bushes and mature palm trees. Buyers can snag a home with an inground pool or Florida Room if lucky. Some homes here are situated on the waterfront of nearby lakes with private access. The average list price for homes is $249,900 but can range upwards to a million for homes on the water.
Monday mornings start for children in the neighborhood by attending one of the nearby Volusia County Public Schools. Blue Lake Elementary School adopted the house system in 2017. Students and staff are broken into houses with their signature crests. Children graduate to Deland Middle School and then Deland High School, home of the Bulldogs, to finish their primary education. According to Great School, the secondary school boasts a graduation rate of 96%. You can pursue higher education at Daytona State College’s West Campus. You’ll be able to take courses and even get an associate degree.
Spend time outdoors at Earl Brown Park, an urban green space located 4 miles away from the neighborhood. Keep your eyes open for a walk along the 1-mile trail for ducks typically spotted near the pond. Children enjoy the playground and the nearby basketball courts. Bring your furry friend to the dog park to join in on the fun.
Stop by the Volusia Farmer’s Market on East New York Avenue every Wednesday to stock up on groceries. You’ll have a selection of fruits and vegetables provided by local farmers. In November, the location converts into the Volusia County Fair and Youth Show host for ten days. Bring family and friends to ride the Ferris wheel before grabbing a snack from a nearby stand.
For fun, visit Dolly’s Olde Time Tavern on Saturday, where locals enjoy karaoke. Grab a drink and prepare to sing your heart out. At the nearby Pat’s Place, you can play a round of billiards among friends. At the end of a busy day, head downtown for dinner. The Table has underground dining and a cocktail lounge with live music from local bands. Spice up a traditional meal by reserving a seat at the restaurant’s Murder Mystery Dinner Series. After dinner, pop into Pat and Toni’s Sweet Things for a treat ranging from handmade chocolates, fudge and candy.
Scenic waterways surround Winnemisset Park, a suburban neighborhood 3 miles from Downtown Deland, providing convenient access to Route 44.
