Jon's Current Read

"Westwood Heights is an established, attainably priced single-family subdivision on the mainland side of Daytona Beach, built mostly in the 1960s, and the read is condition-first: the homes share an era and a roughly 1,200-square-foot footprint, so the renovation status of the individual house, more than the floor plan or the block, sets the price. There is no resort amenity campus and no expected CDD; the carrying-cost lines that matter are the Daytona Beach tax bill and a real insurance quote on the roof and systems. Comp the closest same-condition sale, not a neighborhood-wide average."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Westwood Heights is an established single-family subdivision on the mainland side of Daytona Beach, in Volusia County, ZIP 32117. Third-party listing aggregators describe one-story homes built mostly in the 1960s (reported 1960 to 1969), with living areas averaging close to 1,200 square feet (neighborhoods.com, 2026). It is a finished, infill-era neighborhood rather than a new-construction community.

The setting is classic mainland Daytona Beach: gridded, tree-lined streets a short drive west of the Halifax River and the beachside, near the Mason Avenue and Clyde Morris Boulevard / Nova Road corridors that connect to US 1 and Interstate 95.

The housing stock is consistent: single-family homes, predominantly single-story, on conventional city lots, with reported square footage from the 900s up toward the high 1,600s. Expect a mix of original 1960s homes, partially modernized homes, and a smaller set of fully renovated or expanded houses.

Because the homes share an era and a footprint, condition is the whole story. Roof and systems age, plumbing, and remodel status do more to set value than the floor plan, and two homes a block apart can trade at very different prices. Underwrite each home on its own condition.

Best for

  • Buyers who want an attainable, established mainland Daytona Beach address
  • First-time and right-size buyers comfortable evaluating an older home on condition
  • Buyers who value central access to I-95, the speedway corridor, and the beachside without a new-construction premium

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a turnkey new build or an amenity-heavy gated community
  • Anyone who needs to walk to the beach (it is a drive east over the bridges)
  • Buyers unwilling to read the roof, systems, and renovation history before writing

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.

    Infrastructure

    Mason Avenue (SR 430) Corridor Planning Study (FDOT)

    FDOT is conducting a Project Development and Environment-phase corridor planning study of Mason Avenue (State Road 430) from North Clyde Morris Boulevard to North Beach Street, about 2.37 miles, to evaluate shorter- and longer-term multimodal safety, operations, and connectivity improvements. The project page was last updated in November 2025. Why it matters: This is a planning study, not funded construction, so treat it as a long-horizon item on the route along the area's northern edge rather than an imminent road project. Source

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

1

Pull the actual tax bill for the parcel. Daytona Beach city millage applies on top of county levies; read the real number at the Volusia County Property Appraiser, because homestead status and assessment caps change what a buyer pays.

2

Confirm there is no surprise HOA or deed restriction. Third-party sources report no mandatory HOA for the core subdivision, but verify voluntary-association status and any plat deed restrictions in the title work before you rely on a no-HOA assumption.

3

Get a real insurance quote on the roof and systems. On 1960s homes, roof and systems age drive both the premium and whether a carrier will write at all; pull a bindable quote during diligence, not the seller's expiring premium.

4

Inspect the older bones. Budget an inspection focused on roof, electrical, plumbing (including any cast-iron or galvanized lines), and the slab; an original 1960s home and a renovated one carry very different risk.

5

Comp by condition, not by street. In a neighborhood of similar-era, similar-size homes, the closest same-condition sale is the right comp; a renovated sale should not anchor an original home.

Best Buy
A solid, updated three-bedroom single-family home near the neighborhood median where the roof and systems have already been addressed.
Biggest Risk
Buying an original 1960s home on condition you have not verified: roof, electrical, plumbing, and slab can turn a low price into a renovation budget.
Best Lot
Lots are conventional city homesites; corner lots and larger parcels are modest premiums, but condition outweighs lot here.
Smart Timing
Inventory is thin and the citywide market has been roughly flat (Redfin, 2026), so a prepared buyer who underwrites condition can usually negotiate on a home that needs work.

The takeaway

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

Entry: original 1960s homes needing work
$120K to $190K

Largely unupdated single-family homes at the lower end of the neighborhood's reported active range (asking prices have started in the low-$200,000s; neighborhoods.com, 2026). Price these as a purchase plus a renovation budget, and inspect the roof, electrical, plumbing, and slab before you commit.

Lowest entry
Mid: updated homes near the median
$190K to $250K

Three-bedroom single-family homes that have been modernized, around the reported neighborhood median (about the mid-$200,000s, roughly $250 per square foot; neighborhoods.com, 2026). Condition and the age of major systems separate these more than the floor plan does.

Most inventory
High: fully renovated or expanded homes
$250K to $275K

Larger, fully renovated or expanded houses at the top of the neighborhood's reported active range (asking up into the $400,000s to $500,000s; neighborhoods.com, 2026). Confirm permits closed on additions and price each on its finished condition, not the headline number.

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.

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 Westwood Heights

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.

Westwood Heights has no gate, no amenity campus, and no new-construction shine to price in. The deal here is the home itself: an established mainland address at an attainable price, where the value sits in the roof, the systems, and the renovation history, not the sticker.

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
  • Lots are conventional Daytona Beach city homesites; nothing exotic.
  • Corner and larger lots are modest premiums, but condition outweighs lot here.
  • The home's roof, systems, and updates drive price far more than the parcel.

Homesites in Westwood Heights are conventional city lots typical of a 1960s mainland Daytona Beach subdivision, on a gridded street pattern. Lot position matters less here than it does in waterfront or golf communities; a corner lot or a slightly larger parcel can carry a modest premium, but the dominant driver of price is the condition of the home itself. The honest approach is to compare a home against the closest sale of similar size and renovation status rather than weighting the lot, and to confirm there are no drainage or flood-zone surprises on the specific parcel during diligence.

The edgeThin inventory and a flat citywide market give a prepared buyer room to negotiate on a home that needs work.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • No mandatory HOA is reported for the core subdivision, and no CDD is expected on this established plat.
  • Confirm voluntary-association status and any deed restrictions in the title work, not the listing remarks.
  • Your real carrying-cost lines are the Daytona Beach tax bill and a roof-and-systems insurance quote.

Third-party listing sources do not report a mandatory homeowners association fee for the core Westwood Heights subdivision, and an established 1960s plat of this type would not typically carry a Community Development District assessment. Treat both as items to confirm at the parcel level: verify any voluntary-association status and plat deed restrictions in the title work before relying on a no-HOA assumption.

With no reported mandatory HOA, there is no community amenity package or shared assessment to fund; the carrying-cost lines that matter are property tax and insurance, both confirmed per parcel.

There is no resort club or amenity campus in Westwood Heights; this is an established residential neighborhood, not an amenity community.

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 Westwood Heights, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Indigo Lakes, 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 Westwood Heights?
Westwood Heights is an established neighborhood on the mainland side of Daytona Beach, in Volusia County, ZIP 32117, near the Mason Avenue and Clyde Morris Boulevard / Nova Road corridors west of the Halifax River.
What kind of homes are in Westwood Heights?
Predominantly single-story single-family homes built mostly in the 1960s, on conventional city lots, with living areas averaging close to 1,200 square feet and a mix of original and renovated stock (neighborhoods.com, 2026).
Does Westwood Heights have an HOA?
Third-party listing sources do not report a mandatory homeowners association fee for the core subdivision. Verify any voluntary-association status and plat deed restrictions in the title work for the specific home before relying on a no-HOA assumption.
Is there a CDD?
No Community Development District is expected on this established 1960s plat. Confirm the absence of any non-ad-valorem assessment on the actual parcel's tax bill at the Volusia County Property Appraiser.
How much do homes cost in Westwood Heights?
Third-party aggregators have reported a neighborhood median sale figure around the mid-$200,000s, near $250 per square foot, with active asking prices spanning roughly the low-$200,000s into the $500,000s by size and condition (neighborhoods.com, 2026). Treat these as illustrative context and comp the closest same-condition sale.
Is Westwood Heights on the beach?
No. It sits on the mainland; the beachside and the Atlantic are a drive east over the Halifax River bridges, roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
What should I check before buying an older home here?
Focus diligence on the roof, electrical, plumbing (including any cast-iron or galvanized lines), and the slab, and get a bindable insurance quote, because systems age drives both cost and insurability on 1960s homes.
What schools serve Westwood Heights?
Westwood Heights is in the Volusia County School District, with assignments set by home address. Verify the exact zoned schools for a specific address using the district's locator before you rely on it.
How is the market right now?
Inventory is thin and the broader Daytona Beach market has been roughly flat, with a citywide median around $320,000 in early 2026 (Redfin, 2026). Westwood Heights sits below that because of its older, smaller homes, and a prepared buyer can often negotiate on a home that needs work.
What is nearby?
Interstate 95, Daytona International Speedway and the airport, Halifax Health Medical Center, the beachside, and Ormond Beach are all within roughly 10 to 15 minutes; Orlando is about 55 miles southwest via I-4.
Is Westwood Heights a good investment?
It offers attainable entry into a central mainland location with no expected CDD or resort fees, but the upside depends on buying condition right: underwrite the roof and systems and comp by condition, because a renovated home and an original home can trade very differently here.
