"Life Is Better Here" or so the slogan goes for Daytona Beach Shores real estate, one of the premier resort and retirement meccas in the Greater Daytona Beach area. Located on a barrier island that separates the mainland from the beachside, Daytona Beach Shores is accessed from the Dunlawton Causeway (William V. Chappell, Jr. Bridge). The City of Daytona Beach lies to the north. The unincorporated community of Wilbur by the Sea lies south. To the southwest lie portions of the City of Port Orange, unincorporated Volusia County and the Halifax River. To the east lies the mighty Atlantic Ocean. With beautiful oceanfront views, luxury waterfront homes and the premiere Daytona Beach shores condo communities, for example, Bella Vista Condos in Daytona Beach Shores, there are many real estate options.

Daytona Beach Shores was incorporated in 1960. Although it has experienced growth spurts particularly during the 1970's and 1980's it has remained relatively small, with less than 5,000 permanent residents. Perhaps due to the fact that the resident base is composed largely of retirement age persons, there are no public schools in Daytona Beach Shores. Neither are there any industrial real estate areas. Both these types of services are found in the neighboring communities, primarily across the Halifax River, on the mainland.

Although there are no manufacturing and industrial areas in the city, there is plenty of commercial real estate within Daytona Beach Shores. The main commercial and tourist thoroughfare is South Atlantic Avenue (A1A). There are several shopping plazas, strip centers, miniature golf facilities and pharmacies found along this roadway.

There are a number of public parks and recreational facilities within the City. There are outdoor activities available for all in Daytona Beach Shores.

Daytona Beach Shores has an enviable location between two bodies of water, the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River/Intracoastal Waterway. This is a boon to those looking for prime real estate.
