Planned apartment complex to bring 100 units of affordable housing to Daytona Beach

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A new planned apartment complex in Daytona Beach will hopefully provide some relief to people struggling to find affordable housing in the area.

The median household income in Daytona Beach is about $20,000 less than places like Ormond Beach, Orlando and Cocoa. But rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city goes for around $1,000.
