r/DeLand

Hey everyone! My boyfriend and I are currently looking to find a new place together in DeLand or North DeLand. We just moved to the area for my boyfriends new job and are currently staying at a different apartment that we aren't too fond of.

We are looking for a minimum of 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment or unit. We aren't really looking for roommates, shared spaces, or renting a single room in a larger house. Something like a mother in law suite would be fine as long as it had its own entrance preferably!

To give you an idea of what we're working with:

Budget: We're hoping to keep the base rent at $1,040 or under.

What we need: A private space with its own kitchen/oven and a bathroom with a bathtub (that's a big preference for us!).

Laundry: On-site laundry, in-unit, or even hookups would be amazing, but it's not a complete dealbreaker if the right spot comes along without it.

If you happen to live in a complex you love, know of any local private landlords with upcoming openings, or spot a hidden gem that fits our budget, we would be so grateful if you dropped a comment or sent us a DM. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions! Thanks so much for reading!

Amendment 3 will appear on the statewide ballot on November 3. To help residents understand what it could mean locally, the City of DeLand has launched a new informational website: https://amendment-3.delandfl.gov

On the site, you can:
- Learn about the proposal: see what Amendment 3 would change, when those changes would take effect, and which city services are funded by property taxes.
- Estimate your household impact: look up your home through Volusia County Property Appraiser records or enter your assessed value to see how your city property taxes could change in 2027 and 2028 if the amendment is approved.
- Explore the budget: if approved, the City estimates its revenue would be reduced by about $5.2 million in the first year and $8.8 million by 2028. The interactive budget exercise lets you choose how you would adjust services, revenue, or both to balance that amount. You can submit your plan to the City and create a postcard to share your suggestions on social media.

This website is for informational purposes only and does not take a position for or against Amendment 3. Your feedback helps us understand community priorities, and we'd like to hear from you.
