Within walking distance to Port Orange City Hall and bordered by Port Orange's main thoroughfare, Countryside has become a hotspot for those looking to live in the city's heart. With both gated and non-gated sections, Countryside is a large suburb that stands out not only for its centrality but also for what buyers get out of home and community. "I love Countryside, honestly. It's super popular because the schools are so close that kids can walk, and it's zoned to the best high schools in the county," says Lancelot Lenard, Realtor with Florida Homes Realty and Mortgage; he's been selling homes in the area for nearly a decade and is a Port Orange resident. "Countryside was built the old way, with wide lots and wide houses. People living on the northside can walk to City Center, where we have all our events, and it's close to anything we have." For those seeking outdoor recreation, Countryside also has the advantage of being only a few miles from the Halifax River and Atlantic coast.
For water loving locals, the Halifax River is just a few miles down the road from Countryside.

Eclectic ranches and gated areas in Countryside
Countryside's ranch and new traditional styles are known for their brick facades, most built between 1970 and 1990. Lawns often have palm trees and flowery bushes, and wide driveways lead to spacious, two-car garages. Three beds and two baths are the most common option, selling in the $350,000 to $450,000 range. "The turnaround isn't as quick because once people buy there, they end up staying a while, and it's mostly families moving in," Lenard says. "Hunt Club has estate homes, so the price is up there. Most of the homes in Countryside, though, have these huge lots for a cheaper price, and people like to do renovations. That's one thing I'll point out – if these homes were fully renovated before they hit the market, they could sell for nearly a million dollars." The gated community of Hunt Club features large contemporary homes and additional fees atop the typical HOA prices in Countryside. All residents of Countryside can pay for membership to the Countryside Clubhouse, which provides a community pool and tennis courts. Lenard points out that membership here is leagues lower than other community amenity memberships in Port Orange.

Watching out for coastal weather
As more people flock to Port Orange, traffic has increased in the more commercial districts, while the suburbs have retained their quiet atmosphere. Additionally, hurricanes and resultant flooding are a concern in Central Florida, especially in Countryside. Because of the area's proximity to the Atlantic shoreline, residents should watch the weather from June to November.
The proximity to the water is a convenience for residents of Countryside.
