Orange
City


     Orange City is comprised of approximately 6.8 square miles, located in a prime area between Interstate 4, U.S. Highway 17-92, Saxon Boulevard, and State Road 472 corridor in southwest Volusia County. The local economy has a tradition of being service-related and light industrial, which has now grown to include education, health care and government, as the area's largest employers.Being a full-service municipality, Orange City offers residents and local businesses a wide variety of recreational opportunities for a well-balanced quality of life.  

      Orange City has established its own Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Sites. This brings the old buildings, homes, land areas and other aspects of our history alive, so we can keep the history, not just documented with pictures, but have actual buildings, artifacts and personal stories for all to share.

 
     Orange City is known for Blue Spring State Park, a 2700-acre park designated as a Manatee Refuge Area that connects to the scenic St. John's River, providing residents and visitors with access to some of Florida's most beautiful bodies of water.    



The City is proud of its small town ambiance, while offering all the amenities necessary for today´s fast-paced lifestyle.  Residents are fortunate to have some of the safest and most affordable neighborhoods in Volusia County. One can choose to live in a single-family home, manufactured home, condominiums or even rental apartments. Because of its desirable location in Volusia County, several gated communities are being developed in the area.  Within the City of Orange City there are many homes that are graced with medium and estate-sized lots. These lots have many large trees, which helped Orange City to become designated as "Tree City USA."

 

     Affordable housing, excellent City and County services, low taxes, low crime rates, well-maintained parks for people of all ages. There is access to national chain-based shopping malls and restaurants. With all this in and around town, Orange City is a great place to live, work and play.
