Unpopular opinion about Daytona Beach

Hey, Household incomes average around $50,130 in Daytona Beach. It's a a smaller city city with about 75,924 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Daytona Beach sits at 1,137.0 per 100K. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Any advice would be great. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 4 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is solid.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
