In Halifax Plantation, Spanish moss hangs from giant oak trees, and sprinklers mist the morning air in front of pastel stucco houses. At the center of it all is the Halifax Plantation Golf Club, where the green course and recreational amenities anchor the neighborhood as a community gathering place. Located in Ormond Beach and flanked by Bulow Creek State Park, residents have sandy shores and beautiful green spaces in their backyards. "Most of it is non-gated, first of all, so there's this quality of accessibility. Halifax Plantation has such a wide variety of areas within it. There are 55-plus villas, a small gated section, and tons of luxury homes," says Lancelot Lenard, Realtor with Florida Homes Realty and Mortgage; he's been selling homes in the area for nearly a decade. "Driving around the neighborhood roads is like driving a scenic highway with all those gorgeous trees. It has its own little plaza, a clubhouse, and is right next to amazing nature."
Custom homes drawing from variety of styles in Halifax Plantation
Custom homes in Halifax Plantation sit along wide, clean residential streets dotted with palm trees and trimmed boxwoods. Homes in the neighborhood are contemporary, built from 2000 and onward. Homes draw from various styles, typically Mediterranean Revival, Craftsman and ranch houses. Many homes have stucco exteriors and feature details like recessed entryways, prominent two-car garages and columns. "There is a huge range when it comes to homes there, price-wise. Your typical three-bedroom is still large, and most people can buy for somewhere between $300,000 and $600,000. The south end is seeing the most new construction," Lenard says. "Then, you've got your million-dollar mansions. It's important to know that the north is zoned to Flagler County and the south to Volusia County. So taxes and water bills will be different, but not by much. Still, it matters to some people. It also impacts school zoning." The CAP Index Crime Score for Halifax Plantation is 1 out of 10, with the national average being 4.
Getting schooled with Volusia County
Most kids in the area will be zoned to the Volusia County School District and can start at Pine Trail Elementary, which scores an A-minus on Niche. Students move on to Ormond Beach Middle, which scores a B, before heading to Seabreeze High, which gets a B-plus. Volusia County Schools offers full- and part-time online learning options for kids in kindergarten through twelfth grades, as well as a Spanish-English Dual Language Program. Currently undergoing expansion, this program aims to instruct the subjects of science, math and language arts in both English and Spanish, with the goal of all students achieving the Florida Seal of Biliteracy by the time they graduate high school.
Bulow Creek State Park and Halifax Plantation Golf Club
Residents spend time outdoors at Bulow Creek State Park, famous for the Fairchild Oak. As one of the oldest trees in the South at over 400 years old, it's the heart of the 5,600-acre park. Wildlife lovers look out for white-tailed deer and barred owls around Boardman Pond and Cedar Creek along the park's trails. Bulow Creek, which gives the park its namesake, is also a popular kayaking, canoeing and fishing spot. Residents who want in-neighborhood recreation can walk over to Clubhouse Drive. "They've got an 18-hole golf course, a junior Olympic-sized pool, tennis courts – they actually just re-did the greens, and I played a few games there; it's nice and smooth. The clubhouse has its own restaurant and events, so it's a popular place for people to hang out," Lenard says.
Getting to the coast and Daytona Beach
Halifax Plantation is 9 miles from Ormond and Flagler Beach and 20 miles from Daytona Beach. "You're not far from Interstate 95, and there are a couple of roads that lead over the river, so you can get to the coast in less than 10 minutes," Lenard points out. The neighborhood streets are quiet and safe for walking and biking within the community.
Dining at The Tavern and errands within the neighborhood
After an afternoon of golfing or tennis, locals gather at The Tavern at Halifax Plantation Golf Club for dinner and a drink. Off Roscommon Drive is Halifax Plantation Village, a small shopping and dining area in the neighborhood with a Publix, Truist, a salon and a few restaurants. Thai Elephant is a go-to for panang curry, while Mezzaluna Pizzeria offers hot slices in a laidback shop.
