EvenTide: The New-Home Guide.

Overview: What Is Announced

EvenTide is an intimate collection of 75 three-story coastal townhomes on Saxon Drive in New Smyrna Beach, some with private elevators, positioned by the builder as one of the last new-construction opportunities near the Atlantic shoreline here. It is now selling, priced from the high 600,000s, from the sales office at 1601 Saxon Drive, 32169.

Three floorplans are offered, all 3 bedrooms with 3.5 baths and 2-bay garages: Driftwood, 2,294 square feet from 699,990 dollars; Seaglass, 2,558 square feet from 728,990; and Boardwalk, 2,251 square feet from 799,990. Move-in ready homes on Tidewatch Loop listed from 699,990 to 809,900 dollars on September 1, 2026, and the builder was advertising a rate promotion as low as 5.25 percent on select homes.

This is Tri Pointe Homes' first Florida community, announced for a March 2026 debut by GrowthSpotter, and the amenity core is called The SandBar: a pool with cabanas, The Grille barbecue area, a Paw Park, and gathering spaces. NewHomeSource carries the community from 699,990 dollars with a monthly HOA fee of 731 dollars, verified with the builder within a day of our September 1 read.

Quick Facts (All Sourced)

Every figure here is attributed and dated. Base prices exclude options and closing costs, promotional rates carry conditions and expire, and attached coastal product lives and dies on its association budget. Read the condominium documents, master insurance policy, and reserve schedule before you contract, and bring your own representation from the first visit.

Location & Context

EvenTide sits on Saxon Drive on the New Smyrna Beach beachside, a short walk from the sand and close to the Flagler Avenue and Canal Street shopping and dining districts, Smyrna Dunes Park, and the New Smyrna Beach Farmers Market.

The practical read: this is the premium end of the Volusia new-construction ladder, priced like beachside scarcity because that is what it is. New Smyrna's buildable beachside land is nearly gone, which is the entire investment case. The tradeoffs are attached living, a three-story stack, and coastal insurance economics.

On a barrier island, insurance is the number that decides the deal. The association's master wind policy, what it covers versus what your HO-6 must cover, and the flood zone on the site all belong in your file before you sign. Ask the association directly about reserve funding and any milestone-inspection obligations that apply to attached coastal buildings in Florida.

What Is Planned

75 townhomes across the community, built in 4, 5, and 6 unit buildings in Florida Coastal and Traditional Coastal styles, with decorative shutters, cedar corbels, and metal accents. Some homes include private elevators.

The SandBar amenity center anchors the community: pool, cabanas, The Grille barbecue area, Paw Park, lawn games, and gathering areas.

Taxes & Costs Context

EvenTide is in Volusia County, so property taxes follow the Volusia millage plus the condominium association's budget.

The monthly association fee is 731 dollars per NewHomeSource's builder-verified listing on September 1, 2026, under the EvenTide Condominium Association. Confirm exactly what it covers, especially exterior insurance, before you contract. For context, the Volusia County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 19.21 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

Plans start at 699,990 dollars and move-in ready homes ran 699,990 to 809,900 dollars on September 1, 2026. Base excludes options and closing costs.

Beachside 32169 carries real wind and flood exposure. Get a bindable HO-6 quote, a copy of the association's master policy, and the elevation certificate before you remove financing contingencies. On attached coastal product the association's insurance renewal is your future fee increase.

Schools

NewHomeSource lists Coronado Beach Elementary School, New Smyrna Beach Middle School, and New Smyrna Beach High School near the community. School assignment is set by Volusia County Schools and can change; confirm the current zoning with the district before you buy.
