A growing Florida community

Located 25 miles from Daytona Beach and 40 miles from Orlando, West DeLand is a growing town with plenty to offer. “Just like everything in Florida, it’s growing,” says Linda Hannon, who has 16 years of experience in the area with Charles Rutenberg Realty. “It has everything from re-sell homes, 55 and up communities, rural living, and it’s all in a beautiful location.” West DeLand is in the middle of everything, with quick highway access to the beach or big city. The area offers a variety of home styles and living styles. There are traditional neighborhoods where the houses have a similar feel, and also rural areas where there is a great deal of acreage and homes have a good deal of space between one another. The common thread is that nothing is too far from the downtown shopping district.

Downtown shopping on Woodland Boulevard

There are many different types of cuisines in the area for locals to dine on. Emmy’s Time Out Tavern is a restaurant serving German staples like schnitzel and large Bavarian soft pretzels. Spring Hill BBQ and Soul Food Lounge has live music in the evenings and has a full menu of soul food including pork chops and chicken and waffles. DoBro’s Chicago Style Pizza is popular with the locals, and local publications have taken notice. The restaurant was the winner of the “West Volusia Best of the West” award three times since 2014. The DeLand Stockyard has a large statue of a bull outside and a tiki bar out back. Inside the restaurant, diners are enjoying steaks and prime rib in a cozy setting. “I’d say it’s got quite a vibrant downtown,” Hannon says. Residents can visit Stolzfus Produce, a produce stand featuring fresh fruits and vegetables as well as boiled peanuts and locally sourced honey. For a full shop, Walmart off Route 17 and Winn-Dixie off Highway 44 are nationally recognized stores. Those looking for a full day of shopping can visit West Volusia Regional Shopping Center for dozens of clothing and beauty stores. Woodland Boulevard leads to dozens of boutique shops in the area and a lively art scene. “There are events all the time for artists in the area, and they put on shows throughout the year,” Hannon says.
