Port Orange calls itself a city of neighborhoods. A sense of community pride permeates each of the town's 150 unique residential areas. There are lots of celebrations and activities planned throughout the year in each one, and the whole city often gets together at the City Center for events such as Kidz Dayz 2009, Port Orange Family Days and the July 4th celebration. Concerts at the City Center Amphitheater and other cultural offerings such as the Lakeside Jazz Festival offer outstanding entertainment for residents of all ages.
In March 2008, the Florida League of Cities granted Port Orange an acclaimed Florida City of Excellence Award in recognition of its achievements in effective governance, fiscal management, citizen outreach and involvement, and other accomplishments. Area residents always knew how attractive Port Orange real estate was, but this honor made it official.
Both tourists and those thinking of buying Port Orange real estate would enjoy a trip back in time during a visit to the Dunlawton Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens on the western side of the city. Also known as the Dunlawton Plantation, the range of fascinating things to see there run from the ruins of a chunky sugar cane crusher that was once literally horse-powered, to the delicate creatures that flutter about in the butterfly garden.
Growth in Port Orange has been carefully managed so that a nice hometown feeling has been retained, while still providing a business-friendly atmosphere. Residents can get to the beach in just a few minutes, get excellent care at Halifax Health Medical Center of Port Orange or at one of the city's numerous medical facilities, or get to work with an easy commute to all parts of central Florida.
