If you’re in town for Speedweeks, the Daytona 500, or any of the major racing events, welcome to Florida’s best-kept secret: New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater.

While Daytona gets the spotlight, many visitors quickly realize these neighboring beach communities are where you come to unwind, enjoy real coastal living, and escape the crowds.

I hear this all the time:
ā€œWe came for the race… but now we’re thinking about staying.ā€

And honestly? I get it.

🌊 Why Visitors Fall in Love with New Smyrna Beach & Edgewater

This area offers something you don’t find everywhere:

• Wide, uncrowded beaches
• A laid-back coastal vibe
• Great restaurants and local spots
• Fishing, boating, paddleboarding, and nature trails
• More space and value than many other Florida beach towns
• Easy drive to Daytona, Orlando, and major events

It doesn’t take long before people start asking:
ā€œWhat would it cost to live here?ā€

šŸ” Thinking About a Second Home, Investment, or Full-Time Move?

Many of my clients started out exactly where you are — visiting for an event, a vacation, or a long weekend.

Some were looking for:
• A beachside condo
• A winter retreat
• A short-term rental
• A quieter retirement spot
• More house for the money
• A lifestyle change

And they realized New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater checked all the boxes.

🧠 Why Local Knowledge Matters Here

This area is made up of dozens of micro-markets. What works beachside may not work inland. Condo rules vary by building. Flood zones, HOA policies, and insurance costs matter — a lot.

I help my clients understand:
• Beachside vs. mainland differences
• Condos vs. single-family homes
• Flood zones and insurance realities
• HOA rules and special assessments
• Rental restrictions
• Neighborhood personalities

No guesswork. No surprises.
