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.
The units in the planned three-story apartment building near the intersection of Brentwood and Derbyshire are set to start renting at $390.
The developer said the building would provide about 100 units of affordable housing along with a pool, laundry room and club house.

The developer could break ground by the end of the year and have it built a year after that.
