Deltona Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
3 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Deltona is a large, primarily residential Volusia County city where the rental market is dominated by single-family homes and duplexes rather than traditional apartment complexes; only a handful of purpose-built or build-to-rent communities operate within city limits. Renters seeking a conventional multifamily apartment community have far fewer options here than in nearby Sanford, Lake Mary, DeLand, or Orange City, though several newer lease-up communities opened in the mid-2020s.
As of mid-2026 public listings, Deltona's citywide average asking rent runs roughly $1,650-$1,700/month, but that figure is skewed by scattered single-family and duplex rentals rather than large apartment communities. The few purpose-built apartment communities in the city (Cardinal Village, Integra Myst) start around $1,540-$1,610 for smaller units and climb toward $2,300+ for larger floorplans, while rentals in the Deltona Lakes subdivision area skew lower, with typical 1-bedroom-equivalent rents averaging closer to $1,150-$1,250.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
