Jon's Current Read

"Big Tree Village is an affordability play with a flood caveat that a buyer has to underwrite honestly. It is a platted single-family subdivision off Big Tree Road in mainland South Daytona, built roughly 1980 to 1988, with small one-story ranch homes where condition drives value. Third-party data put the median sale near $237,000 and the average around $219 per square foot as of June 2026 (illustrative, not MLS), which is genuinely attainable for a detached home in this corridor. The honest risk is the documented flood history: the subdivision took on water in Hurricane Ian in 2022 and again in Hurricane Milton in October 2024, so flood insurance is a real carrying cost and the per-parcel FEMA zone and elevation certificate are non-negotiable diligence. The balancing fact is that the City of South Daytona is actively spending on drainage fixes targeting this exact area through 2025, which supports the long-term case. The play is the affordability and the city investment; the discipline is the parcel-level flood and insurance read before you offer."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Big Tree Village is a platted single-family subdivision off Big Tree Road in South Daytona, Volusia County, built largely between 1980 and 1988. The homes are one-story Florida ranch houses of roughly 888 to 1,690 square feet, typically two to three bedrooms with one to two baths, and the appeal is an attainable detached home with a yard in a mainland residential city (neighborhoods.com and City of South Daytona records, accessed June 2026).

This is the single-family subdivision, not the attached product. A broad portal tag for Big Tree mixes in nearby condominiums and duplexes along Big Tree Road, such as 910, 1600, and 1601 Big Tree Rd. When you shop here, anchor on the detached homes; the attached buildings are a different market with different fees and resale dynamics.

The honest trade-off is flood. Big Tree Village flooded in Hurricane Ian in 2022 and again in Hurricane Milton in October 2024, with water rescues and water inside some homes, so flood insurance is a real cost factor and the per-parcel FEMA zone must be confirmed. The balancing fact is that the City of South Daytona is actively spending on drainage improvements targeting this exact subdivision through 2025.

On carrying cost, there is little or no mandatory HOA for the single-family subdivision (the neighborhoods.com association-fee field is blank; confirm per parcel), and likely no CDD, though that is unverified. The developer is unverified. Third-party pricing is illustrative only: a median sale near $237,000 and roughly $219 per square foot as of June 2026 (neighborhoods.com, accessed June 2026), with listings broadly in the $200,000 to $300,000 range; confirm pricing for any specific home.

Best for

  • Buyers who want an affordable detached single-family home with a yard in mainland South Daytona
  • Buyers comfortable underwriting flood insurance and the documented flood history honestly
  • First-time buyers and value-focused buyers who will budget age-related updates on 1980s stock
  • Buyers who want a quiet mainland location near US-1, the airport, and I-95 rather than the beach corridor

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want new construction or a turnkey, never-touched home
  • Buyers who want resort amenities, a clubhouse, pool, or a gated community
  • Buyers unwilling to carry flood insurance or do parcel-level flood diligence
  • Buyers seeking a vacation-rental or short-term-rental investment property

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

  1. October 2024
    Flood

    Hurricane Milton floods Big Tree Village

    Big Tree Village was underwater after Hurricane Milton, with airboat water rescues, waist-deep roads, and water inside some homes; residents recalled roughly 18 inches inside homes during Hurricane Ian two years earlier. Why it matters: A repeat flood event two years after Ian makes flood insurance and a parcel-level elevation certificate essential before any purchase. Source

  2. March 2025
    Infrastructure

    City replaces lift station and advances drainage fixes

    The City of South Daytona's stormwater division reported a lift-station replacement on March 7, 2025, the Aspen Ditch cleared on April 1, 2025, and the Silver Pond expansion begun on April 25, 2025, all targeting the Big Tree Village area. Why it matters: Funded, in-progress remediation directly addressing this subdivision is a genuine positive for long-term resilience. Source

  3. May 2025
    Infrastructure

    Council approves Aspen Stormwater Pond design

    On May 16, 2025, the South Daytona City Council approved the design for the Aspen Stormwater Pond, continuing the drainage-improvement program for the area. Why it matters: Continued council funding of stormwater capacity is the kind of multi-year commitment that can change the flood-risk picture over time. Source

    Third-party pricing snapshot

    neighborhoods.com reported a median sale price near $237,000 and roughly $219 per square foot, with listings broadly in the $200,000 to $300,000 range (illustrative third-party data, not MLS). Why it matters: The affordability is real, but the number a buyer should rely on is a product-accurate comp on the specific home, not a portal median. Source

If we were buying in Big Tree Village, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Pull the FEMA flood zone and elevation certificate for the exact parcel at the FEMA Map Service Center, and get a real flood-insurance quote inside your inspection window.

2

Confirm it is the single-family home, not the attached product. Verify the address is in the platted subdivision and not one of the Big Tree Road condos or duplexes.

3

Run the renovation math. On 1980-to-1988 stock, price the roof, HVAC, panel, plumbing, and windows honestly before you judge any list price.

4

Verify the carrying costs. Confirm whether any HOA or CDD applies on the specific parcel's tax bill; the single-family subdivision appears to have little or no mandatory HOA.

5

Cross-shop the area and weigh Ganymede and Halifax Landing to confirm the product type and flood profile that fit you.

The homes and the value case

Big Tree Village is a single-family subdivision, not a mobile or manufactured community. The housing stock is consistent with its early-to-mid-1980s build window: one-story concrete-block ranch homes of roughly 888 to 1,690 square feet, generally two to three bedrooms with one to two baths. Because the homes are 40-plus years old, condition is the variable that decides value: roof age, HVAC vintage, electrical panel, plumbing, and windows differ home to home, and so does whether a given house has been renovated. Price the condition honestly before you judge any list price.

On pricing, third-party data is illustrative only and never a substitute for a live comparative market analysis. As of June 2026, neighborhoods.com reported a median sale price of approximately $237,000 and an average of roughly $219 per square foot, with current listings broadly in the $200,000 to $300,000 range (neighborhoods.com, accessed June 2026). Treat those figures as directional; we never quote MLS statistics in marketing, and your real number comes from product-accurate comps on the specific home.

What living here is actually like

South Daytona is a small mainland city immediately south of Daytona Beach, quieter than the beach corridor and oriented around everyday residential life rather than tourism. From Big Tree Village the location is the practical selling point: Daytona Beach International Airport is roughly 6 miles away (per Travelmath), downtown Daytona Beach is about 4 miles via US-1, the Atlantic beach is roughly 4 to 6 miles east (approximate), and I-95 is a few miles west (approximate). Everyday retail, grocery, and the Port Orange medical corridor are all a short drive.

On schools, the area is served by Volusia County Schools and assignments are by address, so verify the exact feeder for any specific home with Volusia County Schools before relying on it. South Daytona Elementary serves the area and carries a GreatSchools rating of approximately 2/10 (GreatSchools, accessed June 2026). The assigned middle and high schools are unverified by name for this subdivision; common-area high schools in this part of Volusia are Mainland and Atlantic, but confirm the exact assignment per address. Big Tree Village is a community where the right buyer values an affordable detached home with a yard, and we are candid about both the school picture and the flood history so you go in with eyes open.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Entry / original condition
$171K to $215K

The smallest, most original 1980s ranch homes at the bottom of the range. The cheapest way in; budget for roof, HVAC, panel, and other age-related updates, and underwrite flood insurance from the start.

Lowest entry
Updated, move-in ready
$215K to $315K

The broad middle: homes that have been renovated or meaningfully updated. Condition is what separates these from the entry tier, and renovated examples command a real premium over original twins.

Most inventory
Larger or higher-elevation homes
$315K to $409K

The top of the range: larger floor plans or homes on the better-draining, higher-elevation lots, where the combination of size, condition, and a stronger flood position sets the value.

Strongest resale

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Big Tree Village

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

The affordability is real and the city is spending on drainage. The deal is won or lost on the parcel's flood facts, the insurance quote, and the renovation math.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Value ($/sqft)
$261 value$401 premium
Lake / waterPreserveInterior

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from DBAAR; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Higher-elevation lots with better drainage hold value best
  • The parcel's FEMA flood zone is the key variable, not the street
  • Pull an elevation certificate before you price any lot
  • City stormwater ponds nearby are infrastructure, not amenities
  • Read the drainage and the flood facts before the finishes

In Big Tree Village the lot's drainage and elevation are the part of your money the market gives back at resale, because the documented flood history makes flood position the defining variable. Higher-elevation, better-draining lots carry a real advantage over low-lying ones, and the difference can show up directly in the flood-insurance quote. The house can be renovated; the parcel's elevation and flood zone cannot. Pull the FEMA flood zone and an elevation certificate for the exact lot, get a real flood-insurance quote, and check the status of the nearby city drainage projects before you price any premium in. The city stormwater ponds that border the subdivision are drainage infrastructure, not recreation.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • Little or no mandatory HOA on the single-family homes; confirm
  • neighborhoods.com association-fee field is blank
  • Likely no CDD, but unverified; check the tax bill
  • Flood insurance is the real recurring carrying cost
  • Confirm all fees and assessments per parcel before offering

Little or no mandatory HOA for the single-family subdivision; confirm per parcel.

If any mandatory HOA exists for a given parcel, confirm what it covers; the single-family subdivision shows a blank association-fee field on third-party data, so most owners likely have no recurring HOA dues. Verify on the specific parcel.

No club or mandatory membership. Carrying costs are limited to the minimal or absent single-family HOA, Volusia County taxes, and flood insurance where a parcel requires it.

The takeaway

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

In Big Tree Village, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Ganymede, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.

Is Big Tree Village a mobile or manufactured home community?
No. Big Tree Village is a platted single-family subdivision of site-built one-story ranch homes, built largely between 1980 and 1988, per City of South Daytona records and neighborhoods.com (accessed June 2026). It is not a mobile or manufactured community, and it should not be confused with Big Tree Lakes in Keystone Heights, which is a different community in a different county.

As of June 2026, neighborhoods.com reported a median sale price of approximately $237,000 and an average of about $219 per square foot, with current listings broadly in the $200,000 to $300,000 range (neighborhoods.com, accessed June 2026). Confirm pricing for any specific home with a current comparative market analysis.
Has Big Tree Village flooded?
Yes. This is a material and well-documented fact. Big Tree Village flooded in Hurricane Ian in 2022, with residents reporting roughly 18 inches of water inside some homes, and again in Hurricane Milton in October 2024, when water rescues were carried out and roads were waist-deep (FOX35 Orlando, October 2024). Flood insurance is a real carrying cost here, and you should pull the FEMA flood zone and an elevation certificate for the exact parcel before you offer.
Is the city doing anything about the flooding?
Yes. The City of South Daytona is actively spending on drainage improvements targeting this exact subdivision. Per the city's stormwater-division updates, the city replaced a lift station on March 7, 2025, cleared the Aspen Ditch on April 1, 2025, began the Silver Pond expansion on April 25, 2025, and the City Council approved the Aspen Stormwater Pond design on May 16, 2025 (City of South Daytona, accessed June 2026). Confirm the current status of each project, as schedules change.
What FEMA flood zone is Big Tree Village in?
The per-parcel FEMA flood zone is unverified at the community level and varies by lot. Pull the flood zone and obtain an elevation certificate for the exact address at the FEMA Map Service Center, and get a real flood-insurance quote before you write an offer. The community-level history does not tell you what a specific home will cost to insure; the parcel facts do.
Is there an HOA or CDD in Big Tree Village?
For the single-family subdivision there appears to be little or no mandatory HOA, and the neighborhoods.com association-fee field is blank. A CDD is likely not present but is unverified. Confirm both on the specific parcel's property tax bill before relying on them.
What schools serve Big Tree Village?
The area is served by Volusia County Schools, and assignments are by address. South Daytona Elementary serves the area and carries a GreatSchools rating of approximately 2 out of 10 (GreatSchools, accessed June 2026). The assigned middle and high schools are unverified by name for this subdivision; common-area high schools in this part of Volusia include Mainland and Atlantic. Confirm the exact feeder for any specific address with Volusia County Schools.
How far is Big Tree Village from the beach and the airport?
Daytona Beach International Airport is roughly 6 miles away (per Travelmath), downtown Daytona Beach is about 4 miles via US-1, the Atlantic beach is roughly 4 to 6 miles east (approximate), and I-95 is a few miles west (approximate). Confirm your real drive times at your actual departure point and time.
Is Big Tree Village age-restricted or a vacation-rental community?
No. Big Tree Village is not age-restricted, and it is not a vacation-rental community; this is a mainland residential city. Any short-term-rental plan should be checked against current South Daytona zoning before you rely on it.
What types of homes are in Big Tree Village?
Predominantly one-story Florida ranch homes of roughly 888 to 1,690 square feet, typically two to three bedrooms with one to two baths, built largely between 1980 and 1988 (style inferred from the era; confirm per home). A broad portal tag also mixes in nearby Big Tree Road condos and duplexes, which are a separate, attached-product market.
Do I need my own agent to buy in Big Tree Village?
Yes. The listing agent represents the seller. Your own buyer's agent pulls product-accurate comps, confirms the FEMA flood zone and elevation certificate for the exact parcel, gets real flood and hazard insurance quotes, verifies whether any HOA or CDD applies, and reads the renovation math on 1980s stock honestly. Momentum Realty will connect you with a local South Daytona specialist; call (904) 351-6461 or use the form on this page.
