Best industries in Ormond-by-the-Sea right now

Jose Davis Nov 14, 2025

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.

I've been here 6 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is average.

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

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Westside. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in construction. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like BBQ.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
