About the plan
What was actually approved
In May 2026, the Daytona Beach City Commission approved Avalon Park Daytona Beach, covering the rezoning of roughly 2,760 acres to a planned development, an annexation, and a comprehensive plan amendment. It had cleared the Planning Board a few weeks earlier.
The approved program is 8,818 residential units, with more than 700 acres of environmentally sensitive land preserved. Phase 1 is 2,032 units plus mixed-use. Reported buildout horizons vary between fifteen and thirty years depending on which outlet you read, which is a fair reflection of how uncertain a project of this size is.
Waivers granted with the rezoning included a reduced buffer along I-95, reduced minimum lot sizes for zero-lot-line product, and modified mixed-use setbacks, parking and signage.
One thing we will not publish: a breakdown of the 8,818 units by housing type. When we cannot source a number to the actual approval, we leave it out rather than dress up an old one.
What this actually becomes
Avalon Park Group has built this before, three times
An 8,818-home approval on raw land is an abstraction. The useful question is what the same developer's finished work looks like, and in this case there is a real answer.
Avalon Park Group was founded in 1995 by Beat Kahli, a former investment banker who is still President and CEO. Its first community, Avalon Park in east Orlando, began in 1998 and is organized as villages arranged around a walkable downtown that has grown over the years to include retail, restaurants, offices, a YMCA and apartments, and the surrounding area is served by schools that carry the Avalon name. The company went on to develop Avalon Park Wesley Chapel and Avalon Park Tavares.
The stated model is "live, learn, work, play": a town center first, neighborhoods around it. That is the pattern to expect here, and it is reflected in the approval, which reserves land for a charter school, a police substation and a fire substation.
A caution on the track record: the company's own materials give different acreage figures for Avalon Park Orlando in different places. We are not going to pick one and present it as fact. The shape of what they build is well documented; the acreage claims are not consistent.
Location and open questions
West of I-95, and what is not settled
Avalon Park Daytona Beach sits west of Interstate 95 and south of State Road 40 / West Granada Boulevard, in the North Tymber Creek Road area. Tiger Bay State Forest is immediately west, Hunter Ridge and Ormond Beach are north, and Latitude Margaritaville is immediately south. The land is inside Daytona Beach city limits even though it is physically closer to Ormond Beach, which is the detail most coverage gets wrong.
Latitude Margaritaville next door is the most useful market signal on this page. That community sold out well ahead of its own projections. Whatever you think of the concept, it demonstrated that this specific stretch of land west of I-95 will absorb large-scale master-planned housing far faster than its developer expected.
The roads come first
The approval carries a substantial road obligation: a new boulevard connecting to the site, an upgraded stretch of Tymber Creek Road, and a new connector road to LPGA Boulevard. Infrastructure for each phase must be complete before the next phase proceeds.
Three things that are not settled
Water and sewer. Avalon Park Group sued both Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach over water and wastewater service, and separately applied to operate its own utility in Volusia County. It has since dismissed the lawsuit, but no final service arrangement has been announced.
Traffic. It was the dominant objection at both hearings, raised by residents and at the Planning Board. The phased-infrastructure condition exists because of it.
Timing. The developer said the goal was to start building houses within a year or so of the May 2026 approval. This project has previously slipped and been resized more than once. We would rather tell you that than sell you a date.
We do not publish drive times to the Speedway, the airport, the outlets or the beach, because Avalon Park Daytona Beach has no assigned address or coordinates yet and any figure would be invented precision.
Market context
What new construction costs in Daytona Beach
Avalon Park Daytona Beach has no price yet. Here is the market it will price into.
Daytona Beach's citywide median sale price was around $315,000 as of mid-2026, roughly flat year over year. New construction prices above that: the nearest comparable master-planned community in Daytona Beach advertises from about $441,000 as of August 2026. Those are advertised starting figures and they move.
Two Florida-specific costs deserve attention before you budget. The first is the CDD. Most large Central Florida new construction is financed through a Community Development District, and the assessment lands on your annual tax bill on top of HOA dues. Whether Avalon Park Daytona Beach will carry one, and at what level, has not been published. Anyone quoting you a figure today is guessing.
The second is property tax. The land is inside Daytona Beach city limits, where the total combined millage runs a bit over 18 mills as of the most recent roll; that already bundles the city, Volusia County, the School Board, the hospital district, the water management district and several smaller districts. A CDD assessment, if any, would be additional and appears separately as a non-ad-valorem line. Florida has no state income tax, which is often what brings relocating buyers to run these numbers in the first place.
What you need to know
Buying new construction, the smart way
Whoever ends up building the homes at Avalon Park Daytona Beach, the same rule applies: the person at the model's sales desk works for the builder, not for you. They are usually helpful and usually honest, and they still represent the seller's side of the transaction. You are allowed, and smart, to have your own representation, and in almost every case it costs you nothing, because the builder budgets a cooperating commission into the deal whether you bring an agent or not.
The catch is timing. Most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit. Tour or sign in alone and bring an agent later, and the builder can refuse to recognize them, and you lose your representation for that community. Get connected before you tour, have your agent register you, and let them read the contract, the addenda, and, in Florida, the CDD disclosure.
On a phased community of 8,818 homes there is a second advantage to being on the list early: the first release in each new phase usually carries the best homesites and the most pricing flexibility. That window opens once per phase and closes quickly.

Questions and answers
Avalon Park Daytona Beach FAQ
What is Avalon Park Daytona Beach?
Avalon Park Daytona Beach is an approved master-planned community on roughly 2,760 acres in Daytona Beach, FL. The City Commission approved it in May 2026, covering rezoning, annexation, and a comprehensive plan amendment. The approved program is 8,818 residential units, with more than 700 acres of environmentally sensitive land preserved. Phase 1 is 2,032 units plus mixed-use. It is the largest residential entitlement in the Daytona Beach market.
Where exactly is Avalon Park Daytona Beach?
This is the single most misreported thing about the project, so read carefully. It is west of Interstate 95 and south of State Road 40 / West Granada Boulevard, in the North Tymber Creek Road area. It borders Tiger Bay State Forest to the west, Hunter Ridge and Ormond Beach to the north, and Latitude Margaritaville to the south. Geographically that puts it between Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach, closer to Ormond, even though the land sits inside Daytona Beach city limits. It is not near the Speedway, the beach or the LPGA Boulevard corridor as those exist today. A new connector road to LPGA Boulevard is part of the approved road program, but that road has not been built.
Who is building the homes?
No homebuilder has been publicly announced for Avalon Park Daytona Beach. We searched the national builders, the developer's own materials and the news coverage and found nothing. Avalon Park Group is the master developer, and on its previous communities it has worked with builder partners announced by phase after horizontal work is under way. That announcement is exactly what the interest list exists to catch.
Who is Avalon Park Group?
Avalon Park Group was founded in 1995 by Beat Kahli, a former investment banker who serves as President and CEO. The company is headquartered in Orlando. Its first and best-known community is Avalon Park in east Orlando, begun in 1998 and organized as villages around a walkable town center that has grown over the years to include retail, restaurants, offices and apartments. It went on to develop Avalon Park Wesley Chapel and Avalon Park Tavares. The company describes its model as "live, learn, work, play."
When will homes actually be available?
The developer said around the time of the May 2026 approval that the goal was to start building houses within a year or so, which points to sometime in 2027. No date for a model opening or a first home delivery has been stated anywhere. We would also point out, because it is relevant and rarely mentioned, that this project has slipped before: it has been retargeted and resized more than once over the years. Treat any timeline as a target rather than a commitment.
What roads have to be built first?
The approval carries a substantial road obligation. It includes a new boulevard connecting to the site, an upgraded stretch of Tymber Creek Road, and a new connector road to LPGA Boulevard. A binding condition requires that infrastructure for each phase be complete before the next phase proceeds.
Was there opposition?
Yes, and it is worth understanding rather than glossing over. Traffic was the dominant objection at both hearings, along with flooding risk and wildlife impacts; residents told the Commission that traffic is already difficult and that tens of thousands of additional residents would make it worse. Poor connectivity to existing Daytona Beach was also raised at the Planning Board. The Commission approved it nonetheless, with the phased-infrastructure condition attached, plus reserved land for a police substation, a fire substation and a charter school.
What about water and sewer? I heard there was a lawsuit.
There was, and it is not fully resolved. Avalon Park Group sued both Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach over water and wastewater service, and separately applied to operate its own water and wastewater utility in Volusia County. The developer has since dismissed the lawsuit without a final service arrangement announced. For a buyer this is a genuine open item rather than a settled one, and we would rather flag it than leave it out.
What schools will serve Avalon Park Daytona Beach?
Zoned schools cannot be looked up yet. Volusia County Schools assigns attendance zones by physical address, and this is unplatted land with no addresses. What the approval does include is reserved land for a charter school, along with a developer commitment to build school capacity if the district determines it is needed. Given that 8,818 homes will force attendance boundaries to be redrawn regardless, we would treat any school claim you see about this community today as speculation. Run the specific address through the district's locator once addresses exist.
What are the property taxes?
The land is inside Daytona Beach city limits. The total combined city-area millage runs a bit over 18 mills as of the most recent roll, and that already bundles the city, Volusia County, the School Board, the hospital district, the water management district and several smaller districts. Any CDD assessment would be additional and appears separately as a non-ad-valorem line.
What is already around it?
Latitude Margaritaville sits immediately to the south, and it is the most instructive datapoint on this page: that community sold out well ahead of its own projections. Tiger Bay State Forest is immediately west, and Hunter Ridge and Ormond Beach lie north. For new-construction comparison, nearby communities from other builders advertise starting prices in the low $400,000s as of August 2026. Daytona Beach's citywide median sale price was around $315,000 as of mid-2026.
