About the community
Breakaway Trails sits in the heart of Ormond Beach with a country-in-the-city feel: big wooded lots, custom homes, and lots of room to breathe, all inside a 24-hour manned gate. It's an established, well-kept community that draws families and professionals who want privacy and security without giving up amenities. The HOA fee is on the higher side for the area, but it buys real value — staffed security, resort-style amenities, and maintained community roads.
Homes & prices
Homes here are predominantly custom-built single-family, generally in the 2,100–3,200 square-foot range on generous lots. Recent resales often land from the mid-$400s to the mid-$600s, with larger, upgraded, or estate homes reaching higher and occasional luxury sales above $1M — it moves with the market. Because it's custom homes rather than tract housing, no two are quite alike; I can walk you through what's actually available and how each is priced.
Amenities & location
Residents get a genuinely full amenity package: a community pool and covered pavilion, lighted tennis and basketball courts, a roller-hockey rink, a fitness center, clubhouse and meeting rooms, walking and biking trails, and a children's playground. Location is a big draw too — you're minutes from the Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail, Tomoka State Park, and Bulow Creek, so kayaking, hiking, fishing, and cycling are all right out the gate, with I-95 and the beaches close by.
