Driving through Osteen, you'll encounter cows and donkeys in the scenic landscape.
Beneath the sunny skies of the Sunshine State
Thirty miles south of Daytona Beach via Highway 415 and 35 miles north of Orlando via Interstate 4 is the unincorporated town of Osteen. “It’s still very rural, but I believe bigger developers are going to come into this area and make it more populated,” says Michelle Ingrassia of LPT Realty, who has been selling homes in the area for 13 years. “Recently, there have been a lot of improvements in the area, such as widening the roads and making Osteen more accessible, so I think the state is betting on more development coming in as well.” The town is in a rural area, and there is not much in the way of retail or restaurants save for a few local staples. Public transportation is not readily available, so locals tend to drive for groceries and other necessities.
In Osteen, a row of new homes displays beautifully maintained landscaping.
Down the Floridian country roads
Houses in Osteen begin at $145,000 for a smaller ranch-style home and can range up to $700,000 for large, modern builds on spacious lots of land. “The people out here are looking for land,” Ingrassia says. “These properties typically have one, three, maybe even five acres.” Homes further out in the countryside tend to be tucked away on long dirt roads, while there are a few in newer subdivisions where homes can be right on top of one another. The subdivisions feature private driveways and fenced-in yards. The wide, paved sidewalks make it an easily walkable area.

Osteen parks and hiking trails
There is plenty of recreation in the area to keep the residents busy. Beck Ranch Park was once a working cattle ranch, but today it serves as a large outdoor area complete with two dog parks. Beck Ranch also has a pair of sand volleyball courts and playground equipment. Kids can zipline, and anglers can cast a fishing line into the ponds at Festival Park. The nearby Palm Bluff Conservation area features over 10 miles of hiking throughout various trails and terrain. Some trails are through lowlands and floodplains, so there is a chance of getting muddy.
The Osteen Diner is a delightful place to enjoy a meal in the neighborhood.
Local shops and the Osteen Diner
The Osteen Diner is a neighborhood institution and a local favorite. The diner has a distinctly rustic feel with large wooden beams, and the portions are hearty. The diner is open every day of the week until 2:00 pm and is perhaps best known for its homemade pies. For lunch with a view, Gator’s Riverside Grill on the St. John’s River has burgers, and fresh fish and alligator delicacies. The maritime-themed restaurant has a covered patio that allows leashed pets all year long. Skip’s Western Outfitters is true to the neighborhood’s rural vibe and provides a retail outlet for those trying to get a new pair of boots or a cowboy hat. There are a few national chains in the area in the way of retail, but most residents must travel up Highway 415 to the Walmart Supercenter for household necessities. A few miles to the north and the south, Publix has a pair of locations providing a place to grab a week’s worth of groceries.
Pine Ridge High School is located on Howland Blvd in Deltona, Fl.
