What you can get for $900,000 in Daytona Beach, Florida

'World's most famous beach' increasingly popular for remote workers

Daytona Beach, Fla., is known for its beaches and auto racing – and as more Americans are free to live wherever they want as they work remotely, it has also been highlighted as a great place to work from home.

The city on Florida’s Atlantic coast has resorts, 23 miles of sandy beaches, a water park, a boardwalk and the Daytona International Speedway, which hosts NASCAR’s Daytona 500 and other high-profile racing events.

As FOX Business previously reported, PC Magazine highlighted Daytona Beach earlier this year as one of the 20 best cities for working from home. The magazine ranked the cities after looking at factors like affordability, home values and cheap broadband internet access, as well as the setting. 

It appears that homebuyers agree with the magazine, as the local real estate market has seen significant growth over the past year.
