Redfin reported an August 2026 median sale price of $299,124 in Daytona Beach and $419,934 in New Smyrna Beach. Daytona offers more entry-level options. New Smyrna Beach costs more per square foot.
Daytona Beach is a larger city with the speedway, events, and a wide range of neighborhoods. New Smyrna Beach feels smaller and quieter, with two walkable downtown districts.
Both support rentals, but zoning and association rules vary by address. Run numbers on the specific property.
