About this home
What if your weekends were spent enjoying your home instead of maintaining it? Welcome to 1624 Areca Palm Drive, a beautifully maintained villa in the gated Villages of Royal Palm community, where comfortable living and resort-style amenities come together. Step through the private entrance into a bright, open living space with soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a layout that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. The spacious great room flows naturally into the glass-enclosed lanai, creating a comfortable spot for morning coffee, an afternoon read, or simply enjoying a little quiet time. The eat-in kitchen offers an inviting space for everyday meals, while the split-bedroom floor plan provides separation and privacy. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bathroom, with a generously sized second bedroom and full bathroom offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, or a home office. And here's where the lifestyle gets even better. The Villages of Royal Palm offers a clubhouse, community pools, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, walking paths, and a relaxing spa. The monthly association fee includes lawn maintenance, exterior painting, pressure washing, cable TV, internet, and gated security, giving you more time to enjoy the things you actually want to do. Even better, the roof is just 3 years old and the HVAC system is only 4 years old, two important updates that add to this home's appeal. Built in 2006, this single-story, two-bedroom, two-bath villa offers 1,168 square feet of living space, a two-car garage, and a practical layout designed for easy everyday living. With minimal occupancy over the past year, this home is ready for its next chapter. All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Location
- Mainland
- West of the river; the beach is across a bridge
- Drive to the beach
- About 17 minutes (7 mi) to the beach at Dunlawton Blvd
- Drive-on beach ramp
- Emilia Av
Beachside distances are straight-line to the nearest public beach access or ramp (Volusia County data); private walkovers owned by a building aren't in the county's data. "Oceanfront lot" means the county lot lines run to the beach with nothing but beach or dune in between (Volusia County parcel map). Mainland drive times and miles follow the roads, from this home to the quickest of the nearby beach accesses; they are estimates from a routing service (OpenRouteService), and actual times vary with traffic, traffic lights, season and events. Beach driving depends on the tide and the season; check the county's ramp status before you go.

Estimates only. Taxes are estimated for a new owner from this year's local tax rates; special assessments and fees on the tax bill (garbage, stormwater, street lighting) are not included. Rates are Freddie Mac's weekly national average; yours depends on your credit, loan type and points. Insurance varies widely by company, roof, age and location: add your own quotes. The current owner's tax bill for 2026 was $4,593.
Insurance varies a lot in Florida: roof age, year built, storm protection and the flood zone drive the price. Get quotes early, before your inspection period ends. Ask Elk for help with quotes →
