Situated in southwest Volusia County, the City of Deltona is the second largest municipality in Volusia County and is often considered an "edge city" to the Greater Orlando Area.  Nearby cities include DeBary, Orange City, Lake Helen, and DeLand; although Deltona neighbors several small rural communities like Cassadaga, Enterprise, and Osteen.  Rapidly growing, Deltona is expected to reach a population of 150,000 by 2010.

The city's transportation network combines with Interstate 4 for regional access, allowing residents to make a quick trip to Daytona Beach as well as Orlando.  Deltona is ideally located approximately 25 miles from both metropolitan areas, and many residents are commuters to their major employment centers.  While Highway 17-92 claims the majority of commercial development regionally, thriving businesses and services are clustered along Enterprise Road and Saxon Boulevard east of I-4.  From a regional perspective, the US 17-92 corridor is a main hub of commercial activity.  Good schools, well developed amenities, a pleasing selection of homes, and pleasant neighborhoods enhance the appeal of Deltona for newcomers.
