Living in the city of Port Orange
What its like living in Port Orange
What we love about living Port Orange is how much it has been expanding and growing over the last 11 years. Its hard to have the best of both worlds, so I do admit that the growth of the area has resulted in more traffic than in the past, however, in our opinion, it is bearable and is still not as bad as many big cities. As mentioned, Port Orange does offer enough other attributes which allows us to over look the bearable but worsening traffic. In the past few you we would say that the city of Port Orange has grown from a down home quiet little town to a city with new shopping option, more and better restaurants, and way more fun family friendly places to go.
We like how the city is right next to but separate from Daytona Beach Area. Daytona is considered the Worlds Most Famous Beach and offers many different activities. Plus the beach it self is awesome. Its one of the only places left where you can actully drive right on to the beach. The sand is brown and there is a decent amount of surf which the kids love!. They will take their surf boards and their boggy boards and spend hours out in the water. We view the city as safe and very clean. Wee appreciate how all the elementary and High Schools are close by the bright and well lit neighborhoods. and of course its great that we can drive to the beach and be there within 5 minutes.

We have in the city of Port Orange now for over 9 years and we lived in the nearby city of New Smyrna for a few years prior to that. We must say that we like Port Orange and truly believe it is a good place to live, work and raise a family. We love the city center park in Port Orange. Often on the weekends when the kids do not have to many sporting events we like to park up some lunches and spend a relaxing and enjoyable day. Another one of our favorite aspects of Port Orange is its affordability. We almost take for granted how cheap it is to live here. Grocery prices to gas prices and even when we take our family out to eat, we almost always find it completely affordable.
