New Smyrna Beach Middle School

It's a strong fit for families who want coastal living with dependable public schools and a walkable town feel. The zone feeds well-known schools like New Smyrna Beach High School, and you're close to the beach while Orlando stays about an hour away. That mix of lifestyle and access is why demand here holds up.

The median list price is $440,000, which is moderate for a Florida beach town, but the range runs from $99,900 to $7.5 million so it depends heavily on segment. There are 112 active listings above $1 million, largely waterfront and pool homes. Average price per square foot sits around $378 on a median home size of 1,610 sqft.

Over the last 12 months 1,709 homes sold at a median price of $379,000, a bit below the current $440,000 median list price. Sellers are getting about 96% of asking on average, so realistic offers still get deals done. You can see current pricing across the zone on the live map.

With 727 active listings and a median 58 days on market, buyers have time to shop without the frenzy of a peak seller's market. The 96%-of-asking sold ratio tells you well-priced homes still move. It's a balanced market that rewards preparation over panic.

Median HOA dues run about $400/month, though many single-family and older beachside homes carry no HOA at all — it's concentrated in gated and newer communities, of which there are 97 gated listings active. Median property tax is roughly $4,709 per year. If you're renting instead, the median rent is around $3,800/month.
