For a quiet waterfront lifestyle, South Edgewater can provide a serene setting on the Indian River, which feeds into the Atlantic Ocean. From houses on the water with personal docks to riverside recreation, the town highlights a slower pace of life. The strip mall retail and nearby beaches can jazz up weekends in the Intracoastal community.
At Menard-May Park, residents can partake in riverside recreation. “The park is called ‘the little beach.’ It has water access without having to go to the Atlantic,” Owens says. It has a launch for kayaks and paddleboards, fishing on the docks and wildlife galore from dolphins to manatees. For an outdoor pool with a waterslide and spray features, residents can go to the Southeast Volusia Family YMCA, which also houses a gym and basketball court. Multipurpose Whistle Stop Park has a skatepark, dog park and a splash pad where kids can cool off on hot summer days.
South Edgewater residents can spend time on oceanfront beaches, including 27th Avenue Beachfront Park: multiple acres of smooth sand where people can stroll and swim, plus sport courts and a playground. At New Smyrna Beach, residents can pay to park right on the beach for convenience and go surfing and fishing.
South of Daytona Beach, South Edgewater has a small-town feel: mostly residential roads with large, lush yards framed by palm trees. Some of the area takes on a more rural feel with sprawling lots of undeveloped land available to purchase. As a retirement destination, the community has manufactured homes in gated senior communities. Single-family home options include ranch-style homes and new construction. South Edgewater also features homes on canals and the Indian River that can come with personal docks, which may cost less than people think. “People move to Edgewater because it's one of the more affordable cities in our region,” says Realtor Marina Owens who has 4 years of experience in the area and works with EXIT Real Estate Property Solutions. Sales prices range from $90,000 for a manufactured home to $775,000 for a waterfront four-bedroom house with a personal boat ramp.
At Edgewood Commons shopping mall, residents can find strip mall retail, including Publix for groceries and a pharmacy and True Value to pick up household tools. As for restaurants, Elliott's Roadside Grill is a local steakhouse with wooden booths and covered patio seating. At Tailgatorz, patrons can order bar fare in a lively atmosphere featuring karaoke, cornhole and pool. JC's Riptides offers seafood meals and a bar in a casual, nautical interior.
