AFHI Offers Affordable Luxury In Beautiful, Historic DeLand
At Affordable Florida Homes Inc, we continually search for the best Florida communities in which to build our luxurious, above hurricane code homes. This is why we are pleased to announce plans for our newest project in beautiful, historic DeLand.
Also known as “The Athens of Florida”, Deland combines Old Southern charm with progressive city planning in a welcoming Central Florida community of 60,000 residents. Situated along the St.John’s river in the booming Central Florida region, DeLand offers all the best of Florida.
Southern charm at its best
Oak-tree lined streets compliment the historical flavor of beautiful downtown DeLand. Founded in 1876 by Henry DeLand, the city maintains much of its original look and feel today due to the diligent efforts of the local preservation society. The DeLand courthouse has been a fixture of the downtown area since 1927, and is considered one of the most beautiful courthouses in Florida.
So long snow shovel
If you’re tired of long, cold winter days, shoveling snow and high heating costs, now is the time to re-locate to the Sunshine State. DeLand’s average temperature is 71 degrees, with rainy days often amounting to nothing more than a few afternoon showers. This means you can enjoy the great outdoors year-round. Say good-bye to blizzards and hello to beach days in February.
With access to year-round local events, your new Affordable Florida home in DeLand will provide you with the opportunity to experience small-town Southern hospitality first hand. From art festivals to the county fair, DeLand offers residents ample opportunity to socialize and have fun within this close-knit yet welcoming community.
Historic Stetson University
The prestigious Stetson University has been a fixture in the community of DeLand since the town’s inception in 1876. Today, the Stetson campus is a registered historical landmark. Its beautiful brick buildings, rolling green lawns and ancient oak trees provide yet another touch of charm and grace to the surrounding city. The university also provides the local citizenry with access to various art and music programs, which are open to residents of all ages.
Amenities galore
Small town living doesn’t have to come at a price. At AFHI, we realize that most of our home buyers look for access to amenities in their chosen community. Downtown DeLand houses several shops and marketplaces, as well as an array of choices for dining out. From Southern home-cooking to theme restaurants to Japanese, you don’t have to sacrifice variety or convenience. Nearby Sanford is home to a large shopping mall with several department and specialty stores that are sure to meet all of your shopping needs.
What’s your pleasure?
