What's the flood risk?
In many ways, New Smyrna Beach is still recovering from the devastation Hurricane Ian caused in 2022. The storm dumped almost 2 feet of rain on the community. More than 1,000 residents experienced property damage. Hurricanes are a part of life in Florida, and they’re a huge reason why Florida has the highest average homeowner’s insurance premium in the U.S. Flood risk in Ellison Acres varies. Parts of the neighborhood are low risk, while others are zoned AE by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, meaning flood insurance policies are mandatory.

One-story houses in bright colors
Most homes in Ellison Acres are single-story builds, and some date back to the 1950s. But since Florida weather can be harsh, older homes get plenty of routine updates. Price is a big reason people move to the area, says Wendy Schwoerer, broker at Land and Sea Realty. Home prices range between $250,000 and $578,000. “Before the storm, homes sold in the mid-200s, from $230,000 to $250,000,” says Schwoerer. Ranch-style houses with stucco and bungalows with low-pitched roofs and picture windows are typical. Houses sit next to each other on quiet streets, and fences made of wood and chain links separate some properties from each other. Most homes have driveways, but some locals park in the grass or street.
