North Beach
Water views from larger homes
South of Daytona Beach, North Beach is composed of a beachside park and blocks of single-family homes. Although the area isn’t walkable, it features large, manicured yards decorated with shrubs and tall palm trees. From private balconies, locals can admire scenic views from the comfort of a wicker chair or hot tub. Like most in this community, homes here adopt inspiration from the southern Lowcountry architectural style as illustrated by the open-air concepts and contemporary coastal architecture exemplified through large windows and high-ceiling interiors. There are also waterfront mansions on the river and next to the ocean. Many homes have painted various nautical theme colors throughout the neighborhood, including shades of salmon pink and teal greens. “It historically carries the highest price per square foot, usually every year,” Baldwin says. “It was one of the first places where people started building larger houses.” Prospective buyers can purchase a three-bedroom home for $795,000, while larger houses can be found at around $5.9 million. Those looking for condominiums, including Inlet Marina Villa, can buy high-rises between $310,000 and $900,000.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
