Secluded foliage west of the beach
While most coastal communities pride themselves on out-of-towners and flamboyant beach living, the compact neighborhood of Spanish Mission Heights has a far more private, secluded sensibility. “It’s off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of the city,” says Tammy Bowen, who's been a member of the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce since 2017. “It’s a quiet area.” Primarily made up of residential zones, the area is swallowed up in a blanket of trees, shrubs and subtropical foliage, making it ideal for homeowners who appreciate the seclusion of nature.

Reasonable prices for coastal living
Manufactured and ranch-style homes are generally the most common in the area, with many painted in bright colors familiar to the Florida coastline. Singlewide manufactured homes start in the mid-$100,000 range, while historic Craftsman and ranch-style homes start in the mid-$200,000s. Homebuyers can find more modern styles and construction in the low-$400,000s. “It’s pretty affordable compared to other areas. Mostly because of the manufactured homes,” Bowen says.
