Higbee is an established residential neighborhood on the mainland in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, recorded in plat names such as Higbee and Higbee H L Addition (Watson Realty, neighborhoods.com, and Adams Cameron profiles, 2026). It is an affordable, established pocket rather than a gated or amenity community.
Homes are characterized by sturdy block exterior construction, which favors durability and low maintenance, and span a wide range from about 768 to 2,873 square feet. Recent listing activity in the Higbee H L Addition section has shown an average price around $136,842 and an average size near 1,030 square feet, among the more affordable mainland options (third-party listings, 2026).
The location is central and convenient, close to downtown Daytona Beach, the Speedway, the airport, and quick connections to US-1 and I-95. It is a modest, established neighborhood where affordability is the defining feature.
As a mainland neighborhood with little or no community association overhead, the carrying cost is mostly taxes and insurance. Because price points are low, buyers should confirm financeability (some low-priced or as-is homes can be cash-only), comp the specific home, pull the FEMA flood zone for the address, and verify school assignments by address.
