Marina Grande on the Halifax

About Marina Grande on the Halifax

Marina Grande is two high-rise towers at 231 and 241 Riverside Drive, set on landscaped grounds along the Halifax River. Units here are fairly new by local standards: most date from 2006 to 2017. The entrance has a staffed gate, and each tower has a concierge desk and a secured lobby.

Because the towers sit on the river, many units look out over the Halifax and the Intracoastal Waterway, and higher floors facing east or south also see the ocean across the beachside.

Building amenities

The amenity list is long for this area. There are two heated riverfront pools, one between the towers and a lap pool by the main clubhouse, plus a spa, sauna and steam rooms. The clubhouse has a large fitness center, a yoga and dance studio, a movie theater, a banquet room, a library, and billiards and game rooms. A riverwalk runs along the water.

The community also has its own marina. Boat slips are owned separately from the condos, so a slip doesn't come with every unit. Ask about availability if you want one.

Location

The towers are on the mainland side of the Halifax River, just north of downtown Daytona Beach. Beach Street's restaurants and riverfront parks, the bridges to the beachside and the ocean are a short drive away, and Daytona International Speedway and I-95 are to the west.

Monthly fees typically run about $1,000 to $1,450, and they rise with unit size. The fee includes cable and internet, water, sewer, trash, building insurance, grounds care and the gate staff. Check the exact fee on each listing.

Rentals have a one-month minimum, so nightly and weekly rentals aren't allowed. Pets are allowed with limits on size, number and breed. Confirm the current rules with the association before you buy. Florida law requires structural integrity reserve studies for condo buildings three stories and up, so ask for the latest reserve study, the budget and reserves, and any planned special assessments.
