One of the biggest draws for families when finding a new place to live is close proximity to their child’s school. When thinking of Small Town, USA, many think of images of television towns like Mayberry where walking to school was common and safe. Although there probably aren’t many places like Mayberry left, DeLand has a few communities that provide children a safe walking distance to school.
One of those communities is Heritage Place, which is off of West Minnesota Avenue in DeLand. This modern subdivision was planned by Adams Homes and is easy access to I-4 and I-95 for shopping, dining, beaches, entertainment and some of Florida’s most beautiful state parks. However, one of the best draws is the close walking distance to Citrus Grove Elementary School, one of the top-rated elementary schools in DeLand.
Citrus Grove Elementary School is the newest elementary school in DeLand, servicing students on the west side of town. It is also one of the most popular, due to high test scores, great leadership, and community involvement. The school hosts an annual 5K race as a fundraiser and also has regular student participation in city parades and other community events. Many families specifically purchase their home to be zoned for this school. Not only does Heritage Place allow that, but it practically adjoins with the school's property, giving students a safe and very short walk or bike ride to school.
Other highlights of Heritage Place Homes include:
- All brick homes.
- Natural gas that runs to each home.
- Tankless water heaters for greater efficiency.
- Waterfront homes.
- Community sidewalks and streetlights.
- Underground utilities.
