     Where is Port Orange Florida? Where is Daytona Beach? Information by REALTOR®, Lisa Hill. Where is Daytona Beach, compared to other cities in Florida? How many miles are between certain cities? Where is Port Orange, in relation to Daytona Beach? These are just a few of the questions I frequently find on my blog posts. So when someone asks me how far we are from another city in Florida, I jump over to my home page which happens to be iGoogle, and click the "Maps" button at the top of the page. I then type in the other city so I can see exactly where that city is, in Florida. Sometimes the questions are vague... last week I just had to tell someone the city they asked about was on the gulf coast, while Daytona Beach is on the east coast; and I also explained that the city of which t... 05/06/2010

                                        Fun at the Fountain at New Port Orange Pavilion Yesterday, I decided to try to get some sunset photos at the new Port Orange Pavilion. Unfortunately, it was overcast so I didn't get any obvious sunset photos. But I did find a beautiful fountain. Then for some icing on the cake, a very nice "mom" let me borrow her adorable children who were very nterested in the fountain. First of all, this little boy was inspecting the fountain from every angle. He seemed certain he could eventually figure it out The mom was taking pictures too. And she actually got brother and sister to hug (no way! lol) So of course, I wanted a repeat. So with the slightest bit of coaxing (I told them how cute they were; flattery gets you anywhere, at any age?), they happily ob... 04/14/2010

   Steeplechase in Countryside; Beautiful Port Orange Community. A Great Place to Buy a Home. This week we've been discussing the beautiful community of Countryside in Port Orange Florida.

   The Hunt Club in Countryside; Beautiful Port Orange Community. A Great Place to Buy a Home. A few days ago I posted information about the community of Countryside in Port Orange. This post is about the gated community called The Hunt Club. An important thing to know about Port Orange, is that most of the communities have Home Owner's Associations (HOA's), with governing codes and rules that actually supersede some of the city's codes and rules. When buying a house in a deed-restricted community with a strong HOA, it's important for buyers to do their own research about the Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CC&R's) of each particular community. If you work with a REALTOR® who uses the FAR/BAR real estate contract, it states that a copy of the CC&R's, and most recent HOA Financi... 03/27/2010

Even better, the Master Association Community of "Countryside", with it's pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, and plenty of walking and biking paths, was in an incredible location, convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Countryside is a large "master" community that holds several "mini" c... 03/24/2010
