Welcome to the City of South Daytona

Welcome to the City of South Daytona, a small city with big opportunities. The City and its business districts are centrally located in the Greater Daytona area, with easy access to beaches, entertainment venues, hospitals, and educational institutions.  South Daytona is also located near the crossroads of Central Florida’s High-Tech corridor, Interstate 95 and Interstate 4, and within minutes of the Daytona Beach International Airport and the FEC railway line.

The main commercial corridors in South Daytona include South Ridgewood Avenue (U.S.1), Beville Road and South Nova Road. South Ridgewood Avenue is located within a Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) and is a designated Opportunity Zone. The CRA and the Opportunity Zone designations provide financial incentives for improving your existing building site or developing new commercial businesses here. We have light industrial sites, including the South Daytona Business Park and Landmark Business Park. There are commercial, retail, and industrial development sites available throughout the City.

New development in South Daytona is on the rise with the completion of a 16-bed Assisted Living facility in 2020 and a 256-unit luxury apartment complex completed in the spring of 2021. More exciting development projects, including a riverfront luxury apartment with a restaurant, 145 slip marina, and marina-related retail store as well as townhomes and condominiums located on the Halifax River are expected to break ground over the next 12 to 24 months. Along with the residential growth, commercial development is occurring in the City’s main commercial corridors with more to follow as growth continues.

South Daytona City leaders are committed to economic development to strengthen our economy and improve the quality of life. City staff participates in regional economic development efforts with the Port Orange South Daytona Chamber of Commerce, Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation, and the County of Volusia Department of Economic Development. The primary goals are to retain existing local businesses and bring new businesses to the area in a business-friendly environment.
