Reviewed and updated October 3, 2026 by Ryan and Megan Winslow, Winslow Homes
Venetian Bay is home turf for Ryan and Megan. The Winslow Homes office sits at 3539 Tuscany Reserve Boulevard, inside the community.
Venetian Bay is a master-planned community on the New Smyrna Beach mainland, in postal code 32168 (source). Homes here were built from 2004 to 2024, and one local count puts the total at 1,263 homes (source).
The community centers on a golf course, a clubhouse and miles of trails. The builder of The Palms at Venetian Bay advertises 20 miles of paved trails and a town center with shops and restaurants (source).
You get newer construction, a planned layout and a short drive to the beach. The same builder puts the beach less than 15 minutes away (source). For the citywide picture, see our New Smyrna Beach real estate page.
Venetian Bay offers estate homes, single-family homes, maintenance-free townhomes, cottages and Mediterranean-style condos (source).
Redfin's August 2026 update showed a median sale price of $495,000 over the prior three months, down 18.5% from the same period a year earlier (source). The median price per square foot was $221, down 22.2% (source).
New construction still competes with resales. The builder's page for The Palms at Venetian Bay, viewed in October 2026, listed base prices from $399,990 to $536,990 across five floor plans (source).
Builder incentives change the math on resales. Ryan and Megan compare your resale against new homes on price, lot, upgrades and closing cost help.
Venetian Bay holds eighteen subdivisions, including Arbor Lakes, Portofino Reserve and Tuscany Reserve (source). Nearby communities include Savona South and Verano (source).
Each subdivision has its own look, lot sizes and sometimes its own association. Ryan and Megan know these streets because they work here every day.
Redfin's August 2026 page, using First Street Foundation data, shows 6% of Venetian Bay properties at risk of severe flooding over the next 30 years (source).
One local survey of properties found 74% outside the federal Special Flood Hazard Area and 26% inside an A-series zone (source). So zone status changes from lot to lot.
Look up any address on the Federal Emergency Management Agency flood map service center before you write an offer (source). Note the zone, the base flood elevation if one is shown, and the map date.
Homes backing to lakes and preserves need a close look at lot elevation and drainage.
Newer homes built to current Florida code often earn wind mitigation credits. Ask for the wind mitigation report and the four-point report on older resales.
If the home sits outside a high-risk flood zone, federal rules do not force flood insurance on your loan. Price a policy anyway.
Citizens Property Insurance is phasing in a flood policy requirement for its residential customers with wind coverage. Homes with a dwelling replacement cost of $400,000 or more needed flood coverage starting January 1, 2026. All other Citizens personal residential policies follow on January 1, 2027 (source).
Florida also expanded its seller flood disclosure rules effective October 1, 2025. Sellers of residential property must disclose flood insurance claims, flood assistance received, and known flooding during their ownership, at or before contract signing (source).
Venetian Bay runs on homeowners associations. One local data snapshot found all 58 sampled homes reporting an association, with a median fee of $79 per month (source). The builder listed a $75 monthly fee for The Palms at Venetian Bay when viewed in October 2026 (source).
Pet rules exist. Dogs and cats are allowed, with breed, number and size limits (source).
Ask for the master and sub-association budgets, rules on rentals, fences, pools and parking, and any special assessments. If you buy a condo, ask about milestone inspections and reserve studies for buildings three stories or more.
Local guides list these assigned public schools for Venetian Bay (source) (source). The list is not a ranking.
Volusia County Schools sets attendance zones. Confirm zoning with the district for your exact address.
The beach sits less than 15 minutes away, with Canal Street and Flagler Avenue nearby (source).
Orlando sits about 60 miles west, roughly an hour via Interstate 4 and State Road 44. Daytona Beach sits about 30 minutes north (source).
A new Interstate 95 interchange at Pioneer Trail is under construction. The $75 million project started in August 2025 and was expected to take about three years (source). One local guide places the site about a mile northeast of the community (source).
Redfin's August 2026 update showed a median sale price of $495,000 over the prior three months, down 18.5% from a year earlier.
