Big news for those keeping an eye on coastal living opportunities: a brand-new townhome community called Eventide is coming to New Smyrna Beach, and it’s shaping up to be something special. Just a short stroll from the Atlantic Ocean, this 75-unit development is being built near the beautiful Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve.
🏗️ About the Project The community will feature spacious 3- and 4-bedroom townhomes, each three stories high with outdoor living areas and two-car garages—perfect for families, second-home buyers, or anyone dreaming of that Florida beach lifestyle. Amenities will include a community pool, green space, and even a dog park.
The builder, Tri Pointe Homes, purchased the land for $10 million earlier this year, and they’re aiming to have a model home ready by the end of this year, with sales expected to begin in early 2026.
📈 Why It Matters New Smyrna Beach is becoming increasingly popular—not just for its charm and surf-friendly coastline, but also due to limited available land. Much of the surrounding area is already preserved or developed, which makes new construction opportunities like this one pretty rare.
In fact, Volusia County’s population has grown by nearly 9% since 2020, and the housing demand is surging right along with it. With rising rents and limited new home inventory in some areas, townhome communities like Eventide are catching the eyes of buyers and investors alike.
💬 My Take As a real estate professional who works across Brevard and East Orlando areas, I’m keeping a close eye on this. It’s not every day we see high-quality, lifestyle-focused developments popping up this close to the ocean. If you’ve ever considered owning a home near the coast—whether for your primary residence, vacation home, or investment—this could be a fantastic opportunity to get in early.
📍 Location Tip: The development is just off Saxon Drive and 7th Avenue—less than half a mile to the sand. Great spot for sunset walks, morning bike rides, and beachside brunch.
