Previously a golfing community, Tomoka Oaks is undergoing a transformation
Once considered a premier golfing community just west of the Ormond Beach oceanfront, Tomoka Oaks has seen significant change over the years. The neighborhood's Tomoka Oaks Golf & Country Club was closed in 2021, leaving a noticeable void in the very center of the community. However, Tomoka Oaks still offers an array of amenities that residents enjoy daily. A short drive away from a major park, shopping centers and acclaimed restaurants — not to mention the ocean — Tomoka Oaks remains an attractive neighborhood despite the uncertainty surrounding its once bustling golfing hot spot. "It's not a busy neighborhood anymore. You don't see cars flying down the road, and that's exactly why people want to move there now," says local Realtor Kip Ripper of Watson Realty Corp., who has over 40 years of experience in real estate. "It's really a place for anyone that wants to settle down and relax."
Tomoka Oaks is lined with mature oak trees and backs up to the Tomoka River.
Once a golf course community, Tomoka Oaks plans to develop the land.

Split-levels and ranch-style homes are king in Tomoka Oaks
Homebuyers will find an array of styles surrounding Tomoka Oaks' now-defunct golf course. The neighborhood primarily features established ranch-style homes with hipped roofs alongside split-levels and Cape Cods. "Homes are somewhat older, around 25 to 30 years," Ripper says. "I find that they often need cosmetic upgrades and maintenance repairs." Most homes price between $300,000 and $600,000, though some larger properties with access to the Tomoka River may top out closer to $800,000. As for the golf course, developers purchased the 148-acre plot of land in 2021, though it's unclear what the future holds for the neighborhood's centerpiece. A new residential development has been proposed, but locals have staunchly opposed the plan due to density concerns.
This split-level home is surrounded by mature trees which provide shade and privacy.
Many ranch-style homes are found throughout Tomoka Oaks.

Students can join an array of clubs at Seabreeze High
Students in Tomoka Oaks are served by Volusia County Schools. Kids may go to Tomoka Elementary School before moving on to David C. Hinson Sr. Middle School — both of which earn overall grades of B from Niche. Teens attend the B-plus-rated Seabreeze High School, a 7-mile drive away on North Oleander Avenue, which offers a host of after-school clubs and organizations from the Technology Student Association to the Seabreeze Surf Club.
Nova Community Park serves as an area hot spot
Once just steps away from the golf course, residents now have to leave the neighborhood to reach nearby attractions. Nova Community Park sits only a mile southeast off North Nova Road, serving as a local hub. The Magic Forest Playground, also known as Rainbow Park, is a haven for kids to let their imaginations run wild, while Little Leaguers round the bases at the park's baseball fields and skateboarders show off their skills at the skatepark. The park also contains the Nova Community Center, which features various amenities, including indoor basketball courts and a fitness center. The community center hosts regular dance classes and youth summer camps as well.

Locals should be wary during hurricane season
Hurricanes have impacted Tomoka Oaks in the past. In fact, the neighborhood's golf course was damaged heavily by a hurricane, leading to its closure. Tomoka Oak's west side borders the river and is prone to flooding. While the community isn't as susceptible to direct hits from major storms as South Florida is, residents are advised to assemble disaster kits ahead of hurricane season.
