Anyone with the slightest interest in cars has heard of the Daytona International Speedway. Throughout the racing season, the crowds flock to this super speedway located in Volusia County to catch the action. The Indy 500, the Daytona 500, and other big NASCAR events are held here. The stadium itself seats 168,000 spectators – there are respectable urban centers with populations smaller than this!
While Daytona International Speedway is best know as a place where cars, motorbikes and even pick-up trucks scream around bends at high speeds, the speedway also has a lake inside it, Lake Lloyd. This lake measures 29 acres in area and is used for powerboat racing – motorsport of another type.
The huge crowds attracted by the thousands that come to take in the atmosphere, smell the gasoline and watch the pros burn some serious rubber will, of course, need somewhere to sleep, eat and hang out when they’re not trackside. This means that short-term rental accommodation, motels, hotels and other forms of accommodation-for-rent make a very smart business proposition for those who want to invest in property in the Volusia area. Of course, Daytona Beach itself is the best place to buy this type of property – preferably close to the track itself – but other locations in Volusia County would also make a pretty hot buy. The team here at Bahia Real Estate can help you find one that suits you. Or if you’re a serious petrol-head, you may want to live where you can catch the trackside action whenever you fancy.
Daytona Beach doesn’t only boast the speedway. The beach itself is a superb place to chill out and enjoy the water. Have a look for yourself.
