Oak Forest residents enjoy proximity to Daytona Beach
Nine miles from Daytona Beach, Oak Forest is a neighborhood on the banks of the Halifax River that lives up to its name. “It has an old Florida feel with bright houses and tons of trees, making it a really green area,” says Hilary Deininger, a local Realtor with Keller Williams. The Ormond Beach neighborhood is largely residential, but shops, restaurants and the oceanfront are just 3 miles away along East Granada Boulevard. The riverfront provides many residents with scenic views and easy access to boating and kayaking on the water. The massive Tomoka State Park sits directly north, adding a sense of rural living. “It’s still on the river, but it’s quieter than the busy Ormond Beach area,” Deininger says. “It’s the type of place where people know their neighbors and have a real relationship with them.”
Oak Forest lies between North Beach Street and the Halifax River.
The "World's Most Famous Beach" is just minutes away from Oak Forest.
