Honest thoughts on life in DeLand
I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Median household income is $73,352, which feels about average for the area. With a population of 39,832, DeLand is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 70--F, so it's warm year-round. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Not enough green space
