5 Reasons to Live in Daytona, Florida

There are many cities in this great nation that qualify as “a great place to live;” however, to start fresh and plant new roots, there are several things to consider that need not be mentioned here; they are, for the most part, common sense factors. But there is one community in particular located in the Sunshine State (Florida) that isn’t over-populated, over-industrialized, too isolated or too condensed. It’s a place that is home to what is known as “the world’s most famous beach,” and “the great American Race.” This place is Daytona Beach, FL. There are dozens of reasons to live there, but for the sake of space, here are the top five reasons Daytona Beach, Florida, is a great place to live.

  1. Beautiful location – Daytona Beach lies on the east coast of Florida. It has all the qualities of an island resort without having to buy a plane ticket to get there. And it’s only 51 miles to Orlando and 86 miles to Jacksonville, meaning you’re never too far from the convenience of a big city.
  2. Unique jobs and working environments – Being the headquarters of NASCAR and the Great American Road Racing Association, Daytona Beach is full of job opportunities in fast paced careers (no pun intended). It is also home to The Daytona 500, held at the famous Daytona International Speedway.
  3. Educational opportunities – There are plenty of trade schools and universities in Daytona Beach from which to choose. From Bethune-Cookman University, to Keiser College, to Daytona State College, the University of Central Florida Satellite Campus, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, residents of all ages and interests can further their education within the community.
  4. Unique experiences and activities – Daytona Beach is also home to The Musem of Arts and Sciences, which is actually a collection of museums including the Klancke Environmental Complex, The Cuban Museum, the Dow American Gallery and the Bouchelle Center of Decorative Arts.
  5. Last, but not least, Daytona Beach has 23 miles of beautiful white-sand beach – Known as “The World’s Greatest Beach,” the area lives up to this title, a fact portrayed by the 8 million or so tourists that visit each year. And with year-round moderate temperatures, the beach is a built-in stress relief.
