Property Management in DeLand, FL
DeLand is Volusia County's historic county seat — a college town with an award-winning Main Street, Stetson University's landmark campus, and a growing population of families and professionals priced out of coastal markets. For rental property owners, that combination of steady student demand and mainstream residential growth makes DeLand one of the county's most dependable long-term rental markets. Newberry Property Management has served DeLand owners since 2014.
The DeLand Rental Market
DeLand's rental market runs on two engines: Stetson University and west Volusia's residential growth. Stetson students, faculty, and staff generate consistent demand for houses and apartments near the historic district and campus, while families moving to the area seek single-family rentals in DeLand's newer subdivisions and golf communities like Victoria Park.
Compared to the beachside, DeLand offers owners more affordable acquisition costs and a more stable, less seasonal tenant base — a profile many out-of-area investors find attractive. But student-adjacent markets reward careful screening, and DeLand's growth means rental competition is increasing. Our team tracks DeLand rents and demand weekly and can tell you exactly where your property fits.
