Jon's Current Read

"Broadwater is a small gated estate community in west Ormond Beach off Airport Road, roughly sixty custom homes on wooded one-acre-plus lots, some fronting the Tomoka River with private docks and a community dock for all residents. The read is privacy-and-acreage: a low-density luxury enclave minutes from I-95 with a top-rated elementary nearby, where homes range from comfortable to multimillion-dollar riverfront estates. The trade is the Tomoka River flood picture on the waterfront lots and thin resale inventory, so the parcel flood zone and careful comping are the homework."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Broadwater market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $995K ($274 per sq ft), with homes averaging 194 days on market and 8.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Values are up 6% over the past year, based on 3 recent closings in live Daytona-area MLS data.

Broadwater is a gated single-family estate community of roughly 60 custom homes in west Ormond Beach, Volusia County (ZIP 32174), off Airport Road near Tymber Creek Road, just west of I-95 on the mainland (Homes.com, Zillow, and Observer Local News, 2026). The community spans Broadwater Drive, Broadriver Road, Broad Creek Circle, and Tidewater Drive, with the homeowners association incorporated around 1990 and most homes built from the early 1990s into the 2000s.

It is a mixed-waterfront, acreage community: some lots front the Tomoka River with private docks and boat access, others back to an interior lake or pond, and others are wooded non-waterfront estate lots, typically one to two and a half acres (Zillow and Observer Local News, 2026). A community dock on the Tomoka River is available to all residents.

The homes are custom-built estates, generally three to five bedrooms in the roughly 2,500 to 5,000 square foot range, with some far larger; the community is gated, and the HOA, reported at about $1,850 per year, primarily funds the gate and security (Zillow and Homes.com, 2026). Some older marketing pages call it no-HOA, but two independent 2025 listings confirm the annual fee, so treat the no-HOA claim as outdated.

Pricing is a luxury tier: recent sales have run from about $709,500 for a smaller estate to nearly $2,000,000 for the largest, with a riverfront estate reported above $2,800,000 in 2026, and active inventory is thin at typically one to three homes (Observer Local News, Homes.com, and Redfin, 2024 to 2026). Riverfront lots carry elevated flood exposure, so the flood and insurance picture is a central diligence item there.

Best for

  • Buyers who want a gated, acre-plus estate lot with privacy in west Ormond Beach
  • Boating and river-oriented buyers drawn to Tomoka River frontage and a community dock
  • Move-up buyers who value low density and a top-rated elementary nearby

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a beachside or low-maintenance home
  • Anyone seeking a large amenity campus beyond a gate and a river dock
  • Buyers unwilling to verify the Tomoka River flood exposure on a waterfront lot

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.

    Market

    Broadwater tops Ormond Beach sales

    Through 2024 and 2025, homes in Broadwater repeatedly led Ormond Beach estate sales, including a roughly $1,995,000 sale in December 2025 and a riverfront estate reported above $2,800,000 in 2026. Why it matters: Consistent top-of-market sales reflect the scarcity and durable value of gated river-acreage estates here. Source

    Resilience

    Ormond Beach flood-mitigation planning

    In 2025, Ormond Beach advanced watershed analyses and flood-mitigation planning using Transform 386 funds, addressing flooding in western neighborhoods near the Tomoka basin. Why it matters: City flood-mitigation work is a measured positive, but the Tomoka River flood exposure on waterfront lots remains a key diligence item. Source

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

1

Pull the FEMA flood zone for the exact parcel. Tomoka River and Broadriver and Tidewater waterfront lots typically carry AE or A high-risk designations, while interior wooded lots on Broadwater Drive may be Zone X; verify the zone and an insurance quote at msc.fema.gov.

2

Confirm the HOA dues and what they cover. Reported dues are about $1,850 per year for the gate and security; get the current figure and the inclusion list, and disregard older no-HOA marketing claims.

3

Inspect the estate and any dock and seawall. On custom homes of varied vintage, confirm the roof and systems, and for waterfront lots, the dock, seawall, and any bulkhead condition.

4

Verify the lot type and what conveys. Confirm whether a lot is Tomoka River frontage, interior lake, or wooded, and what dock or water access conveys.

5

Comp in a thin market. With typically one to three active homes, comp the specific estate against recent Broadwater sales and comparable west Ormond acreage estates.

Best Buy
A well-kept estate on a wooded interior or higher-and-drier lot with a clean flood picture, priced off recent Broadwater and west Ormond acreage sales.
Biggest Risk
Tomoka River flood exposure on waterfront lots and thin resale inventory; verify the parcel flood zone and comp carefully.
Best Lot
Tomoka River frontage commands the top premium but the highest flood exposure; interior wooded lots are the value-and-lower-risk play.
Smart Timing
Luxury estate inventory here is scarce and moves on condition and lot; a prepared buyer acts when the right estate lists (Redfin and Observer data, 2026).

Community Details at a Glance

Broadwater is a gated single-family estate community of roughly 60 custom homes in west Ormond Beach, Volusia County (ZIP 32174), off Airport Road near Tymber Creek Road just west of I-95 (Homes.com, Zillow, and Observer Local News, 2026). It spans Broadwater Drive, Broadriver Road, Broad Creek Circle, and Tidewater Drive, with homes built mostly from the early 1990s into the 2000s on wooded one-to-two-and-a-half-acre lots, some fronting the Tomoka River with private docks and a community dock for all residents. The HOA is about $1,850 per year for the gate and security, and recent sales have run from about $709,500 to nearly $2,000,000, with riverfront estates higher.

The takeaway

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

Entry: smaller wooded-lot estate
$710K to $995K

The entry into the community: a smaller estate on a wooded, non-waterfront acre-plus lot. A roughly 2,594 square foot home on 1.82 acres sold for $709,500 in 2025 (Homes.com, 2025). Verify the HOA and the flood zone before you write.

Lowest entry
Mid: larger estate or interior-water lot
$995K to $2.00M

A larger custom estate or one on an interior lake lot, with recent sales generally in the $995,000 to $1,125,000 range for homes around 3,600 to 4,000 square feet (Zillow and Observer Local News, 2024 to 2025). Comp by size, lot, and condition.

Most inventory
High: Tomoka River frontage estates
$2.00M to $2.00M

The largest estates and Tomoka River-frontage homes with private docks, into the roughly $2,000,000 range and above, with a riverfront estate reported over $2,800,000 in 2026 (Observer Local News, 2025 to 2026). Price each on its acreage, frontage, build quality, and flood picture.

From current Broadwater listings (renovated 1, original 1); condition inferred from listing descriptions, asking not closed figures. The exact number depends on a specific home's updates, lot, and view, which is the read we do before you offer.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The trap here is a beautifully staged original-condition home. Staging is cheap; a roof, HVAC, and a full modernization are not. We price the real renovation before you fall for the listing photos, because in an all-resale market that number is the difference between a deal and the most expensive house on the street.

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.

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 Broadwater

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.

Broadwater sells privacy, acreage, and the Tomoka River behind a gate. The deal is found in the lot type and its flood picture, a sound estate, and careful comping in a thin market, not in a community-wide average.

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)

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
  • Tomoka River frontage commands the top premium but the highest flood exposure.
  • Interior wooded lots are the value-and-lower-risk play, often in Zone X.
  • Acreage, water access, and build quality drive the spread; comp like-for-like.

In Broadwater, the lot is the heart of the value. Tomoka River frontage with a private dock commands the top premium, but those waterfront lots also carry the highest flood exposure and insurance cost, typically in AE or A zones. Interior wooded acreage lots on Broadwater Drive are the value and often lower-risk play, frequently in Zone X. Acreage, water access, and the quality of the custom build drive the spread, so comp like-for-like on lot type, frontage, size, and condition against recent Broadwater and comparable west Ormond acreage estate sales, and verify the parcel flood zone before you price it.

The edgeScarce gated river-acreage estates support durable value, with interior lots offering a lower-risk entry.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • The HOA is about $1,850 per year, mainly for the gate and security.
  • Older no-HOA marketing is outdated; the annual fee is confirmed.
  • The shared amenity is a community Tomoka River dock, not a clubhouse or pool.

The HOA is reported at about $1,850 per year and primarily funds the gate and security (Zillow and Homes.com, 2026). Confirm the exact current figure and the inclusion list with the association, and disregard older marketing pages that call it no-HOA, since two independent 2025 listings confirm the annual fee.

The dues fund the gated entry and security and common-area upkeep; there is no large amenity set to fund. Confirm exactly what is covered in writing.

There is no pool, clubhouse, or tennis identified; the amenities are the gate, security, and a community dock on the Tomoka River, plus the privacy of acreage lots and the wooded, riverfront setting (Zillow and Observer Local News, 2026).

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.

Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus the Jacksonville metro average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.

In Broadwater, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Hunters Ridge, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Broadwater?
It is a gated estate community in west Ormond Beach, Volusia County (ZIP 32174), off Airport Road near Tymber Creek Road, just west of I-95 on the mainland (Homes.com and Zillow, 2026). It is not beachside.
How big is the community and when was it built?
Roughly 60 custom estate homes, with the HOA incorporated around 1990 and most homes built from the early 1990s into the 2000s (Observer Local News and Homes.com, 2026).
Is it gated, and is there an HOA?
Yes, it is gated, and there is an HOA reported at about $1,850 per year that funds the gate and security (Zillow and Homes.com, 2026). Some older marketing pages call it no-HOA, but two independent 2025 listings confirm the annual fee.
What kind of lots and homes are here?
Custom estates, generally three to five bedrooms around 2,500 to 5,000 square feet, on wooded one-to-two-and-a-half-acre lots, with some larger; lot types include Tomoka River frontage, interior lake, and wooded non-waterfront (Zillow and Observer Local News, 2026).
Is there water access?
Yes. Some lots front the Tomoka River with private docks, and there is a community dock on the Tomoka River available to all residents; other lots back to an interior lake (Zillow, 2026). Confirm what water access conveys for a specific lot.
What does it cost to buy here?
A luxury tier: recent sales have run from about $709,500 for a smaller estate to nearly $2,000,000 for the largest, with a riverfront estate reported above $2,800,000 in 2026 (Observer Local News, Homes.com, and Redfin, 2024 to 2026). Confirm current pricing with an agent; inventory is thin.
What schools serve the community?
The address falls in Volusia County Schools, with the pattern running toward Pine Trail Elementary (an 8 of 10 GreatSchools-rated school on Airport Road), Ormond Beach Middle, and Seabreeze High School (Homes.com and GreatSchools, 2026). Verify current assignments by address with the district.
What about flood risk?
It depends on the lot. Tomoka River and waterfront lots on Broadriver Road and Tidewater Drive typically carry AE or A high-risk designations and require flood insurance, while interior wooded lots on Broadwater Drive may be Zone X. Pull the FEMA zone for the exact parcel at msc.fema.gov and get a quote before you buy.
What amenities are there?
The community is gated with security and offers a community dock on the Tomoka River; there is no pool, clubhouse, or tennis. The draw is privacy, acreage, and the wooded, riverfront setting (Zillow and Observer Local News, 2026).
Is it the same as Broadwater in St. Petersburg?
No. There is a separate Broadwater neighborhood in St. Petersburg on the Gulf coast. This Broadwater is the gated acreage estate community in west Ormond Beach. Use the Ormond Beach 32174 location to keep them straight.
Can you boat to the Intracoastal from the Tomoka River here?
The Tomoka River connects to the Halifax River and the Intracoastal through the Tomoka Basin, so river-frontage lots with docks offer real boating access. Confirm the specific lot's dock, depth, and navigability for your boat during diligence.
Do I need my own agent to buy here?
Yes. Your own agent verifies the lot type and the parcel flood zone, confirms the HOA, inspects the estate and any dock and seawall, and comps the right west Ormond acreage estates before you offer, which matters most in a thin luxury market.
