Is Ormond Beach good for remote workers?

Hello, I'm a 52-year-old firefighter and Average temperature is around 72--F, so it's warm year-round. The median home value here is around $320,300, which seems about average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

We moved here with our family and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Schools in Springfield area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a chef who relocated here from Austin about 10 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good healthcare facilities
- Four distinct seasons

Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are reasonable, gas is solid.

Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
