Victoria Gardens is DeLand's most sought-after 55+ gated community, nestled within the master-planned Victoria Park development in the heart of Volusia County. Built by nationally recognized builders including Kolter Group, Shea Homes, and St. Joe Company, the community offers single-family homes ranging from approximately 1,300 to 3,300 square feet — designed specifically for active adult living.
What sets Victoria Gardens apart is its exceptional blend of resort-style amenities, natural beauty, and unbeatable Central Florida location. Residents enjoy over 400 acres of conservation areas, miles of walking and biking trails winding through native Florida habitat, and a community culture built around connection and activity. With 40-plus clubs and interest groups, a full-time lifestyle director, and a private on-site restaurant, Victoria Gardens offers the kind of retirement lifestyle that most communities only promise.
The community's location in historic DeLand puts residents within easy reach of everything. Daytona Beach is 25 miles east. New Smyrna Beach is 30 miles south. Orlando's theme parks, airports, and shopping are 30 minutes west via I-4. And downtown DeLand itself — home to Stetson University, an award-winning arts scene, and one of Florida's most charming historic districts — is just minutes away.
At the heart of Victoria Gardens is a 20,000 square-foot private clubhouse featuring on-site dining, event spaces, lounges, a library, and recreational areas. Residents also have full access to all amenities in the surrounding Victoria Park neighborhood — including the Victoria Hills Golf Club.
An 18-hole, par 72 championship course designed by Ron Garl. The course winds through rolling hills, towering oaks, and Augusta pines. One of the best-kept golf secrets in Central Florida — and residents get preferred access.
A private restaurant and bar inside the clubhouse means residents can enjoy a meal with neighbors without ever leaving the community. A rare convenience that sets Victoria Gardens apart from most 55+ communities in Volusia County.
Conservation areas, ponds, and nature preserves woven throughout the community make this feel like a private nature sanctuary. Wildlife sightings and scenic pond views are part of everyday life — not an occasional treat.
From billiards and bridge to bowling, bocce, classical music, and computer clubs — Victoria Gardens has something for everyone. A full-time lifestyle director ensures the social calendar is always packed with events, classes, and organized activities.
Victoria Gardens is a deed-restricted community with an active HOA. The dues package is considered exceptional value — most residents would pay significantly more purchasing these services individually.

Yes — Victoria Gardens is an age-restricted 55+ community, meaning at least one resident in each home must be 55 years of age or older. Victoria Gardens is part of the larger Victoria Park master-planned development in DeLand, Florida, but it is the only age-restricted neighborhood within Victoria Park. The surrounding neighborhoods in Victoria Park do not carry the 55+ restriction. If you're looking for a gated 55+ community in DeLand with resort-style amenities, on-site dining, and championship golf, Victoria Gardens is the premier option in all of Volusia County. Robert Wrieden has represented numerous buyers in this community and can walk you through the age verification process, HOA approval requirements, and current resale inventory.
Victoria Gardens HOA fees include cable TV with DVR, high-speed fiber internet, reclaimed water irrigation, lawn care, light fertilization, landscaping, and maintenance of the clubhouse and all common areas. The specific monthly amount can vary slightly between phases and is subject to periodic adjustment by the HOA board — always confirm the current fee directly through the listing or the HOA. As your buyer's agent, Robert Wrieden reviews all HOA financial documents including the reserve fund status, meeting minutes, budget, and any pending assessments before you commit to a purchase. The package is considered excellent value — most residents would pay significantly more for these services individually.
Victoria Gardens in DeLand is approximately 25 to 30 miles west of Daytona Beach and the Atlantic Ocean — typically a 30 to 35 minute drive. New Smyrna Beach, one of Florida's most beloved coastal towns, is about 35 miles southeast and accessible in roughly 40 minutes. For residents who want beach access without the cost and congestion of living directly on the coast, Victoria Gardens offers the perfect balance. Many residents make regular day trips to Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and Ponce Inlet for dining, fishing, and beach activities. The location is one of Victoria Gardens' strongest selling points — close enough to enjoy the coast, far enough to avoid the crowds and insurance premiums.
Victoria Gardens offers single-family homes ranging from approximately 1,300 to 3,300 square feet, built by Kolter Group, Shea Homes, and St. Joe Company across multiple phases since 2001. The community is predominantly 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom homes with 2 to 3 bathrooms — typical for an active adult community where residents prioritize quality of construction over raw square footage. Common features include open-concept living areas, split-bedroom floor plans, screened lanais, 2-car garages, and pond or conservation views. Granite countertops, 42-inch kitchen cabinets, and tile flooring are standard in most resale homes. Kolter Group currently builds new construction in Victoria Gardens, so brand-new homes may be available depending on current inventory and phase status.
